I think I'm done with mechanical bypass.

I'm getting interested in relay bypassing.

I know little to nothing about it. I haven't seen any self-etch boards for relay bypass--and the kits are fairly expensive. I know that this would be more $$ than the little blue 3pdts, even with everything self sourced. But I make about ten pedals a year or so, so it won't break me. Do the relays themselves have to be pre-programmed?

Do to spacing issues in my latest box, I ordered a couple relay kits, so I'll see how they work in practice.

I made a board in eagle for relay bypass with a Pedal Sync chip available at Smallbear. Works well, but it's REALLY expensive to put together. $6 chip, $4 relay, $2 switch + everything else.

Check out this thread, i have some of the specified relays but haven't got around to implementing the scheme just yet.

Mictester's relay switching scheme.

Mictester's vero on page two of that link looks right up my alley. All told, vero + switch + relay (on ebay), comes out to about $4.50 which is great.

Thanks.
