Hope we’ll see you make a come back. This video is a great inspiration for builders. You made me step up from kits to complete builds purchasing all the parts. A cool journey. Thx!
you should also consider doing a similar comparison of different DIY PCB/kit suppliers. I've recently started doing DIY kits, and have ordered from 4 different sources. Each supplier has their own way of packaging the kits...some simply put all of the components into baggies, all mixed together. Others organize them, but don't identify them, while one that I've purchased from actually puts each value of component into their own separate baggies, with labels on them showing exactly where they go on the board. It would be nice for people to know what they are getting into as far as identifying the components....some of us don't have the eyesight, patience, or multimeter to be able to do it easily. The one I got that was all mixed together in one baggy....it took me nearly an hour and a half just to sort and label the components. I'd make such a video, but you are obviously MUCH better at that that I will ever be...with both equipment, presence, and talent...
I'm the same when it comes to the Klon. It produces the same sound my Pearl Distortion pedal used to, and the Pearl had several different modes. Overrated, but I'll still probably build it someday, lol.
I would have appreciated more notes and advice about the actual kit components, build difficulty etc. For example, I believe the VHS requires quite a bit of SMDs in the build which actually threw me off for being a first build. I really wanted to build and have that one it was the most appealling on the site to me but I had to look for something else as I had no confidence or idea where to source those types of components.
