    what do you mean by full through-plated eyelets?:master: :rolleyes: P.S. The double-sided PCB of OD2 has the same track pattern on both sides? Or bottom side has 1 track layout, the other side has another layout? cheers.

    Oh...****...I was thinking BYOC was trying to confuse ppl...So most likely I won't be able to make the board on my own...?:thwap: Like on this pic

    I was thinking about that picture too. Thanks. Since I am newbie, I wasnt sure. So, I will try to edit it in photoshop. The thing is that I am not sure about eyelets: the size and certain eyelets' location. Some of them are square shaped. Some of them are too small. At some point I cannot...

    I might re-draw the PCB layout of OD2...is it better if the lines (bus) are wider?

    Next Build: BYOC's New Overdrive 2 Kit...

    Thanks...I was wondering if it is possible to put, let's say, 2 IC chips and a switch for them in order to achieve different tone variations.

    Hm....:thwap: confusing What do I need to have these things: 1. (main priority) TS to push the tubes to the next level. To boost them ("usual" job of TSers) 2. Nice OD pedal without losing TS tone Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it. Also, at this point I do not really concentrate a lot on the price. I want to build 100% hand crafted pedal. I've never ever done anything...pissed off at myself. So I want to build the PCB by myself and so on. Thus, either the BYOC kit or GGG would serve as...

    Are there any major differences between BYOC's version (PCB) and GGG's? Thanks.

    Soldering Iron Recommendations

    I see, cheers man. Also, I know it is off the main topic, but don't tell them :master: :D What book/articles would you recommend to a newbie in order to understand the basics: how the components work (resistors, caps etc), what combinations of those components effect the sound and so on. Thanks :P

    Soldering Iron Recommendations

    Cheers. I heard Weller's are quite overpriced:thwap: So not sure. I really like Hakko 936, but cannot afford that one right now...Nevertheless, if Hakko is a good investment and I won't regret it...should I buy it? I live in Europe, so not sure if that is a problem.

    Soldering Iron Recommendations

    Hi, guys. I am new here. I want to ask for some help. I want to buy more or less decent soldering station under like 50-60 euro($). I had in mind Weller WLC100 and Aoyue 937. Any suggestions, please? Thanks. P.S. planning to build TS9 clone :D
