Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to commend BYOC on their products and services. I just completed my first build after having no real experience with electronics and soldering aside from a little work on my strat. My first kit was the Echo Royal (in retrospect, I should've started with a smaller pedal) and it actually worked the first time I plugged it in. Well... after I added the ICs to the empty sockets...
The instructions were clear, but they didn't hand-hold. I really appreciate that. I knew basically nothing about basic electronics. I got lost, I got frustrated, but I always ended up figuring it out. Luckily I didn't even need to refer to the forum, but after exploring it a bit, I know I would've been in good hands here. And now I'm much more confident in my abilities after just a single project.
So thank you to the BYOC team and I look forward to more awesome DIY electronics and participating in this wonderful community. I have truly been converted to the DIY guitar lifestyle
