I think I’m done with the board for now. I was messing with the Zoso last night, got a REALLY sweet tone with it. I really like these 2 pedals, and I’ve been talking them up when I can. Now if only I were a better player… lol…

I got rid of the Crunch Red… I wasn’t using it much anyway. I may get rid of the Tube Screamer as well.

I was trying to keep the wah on the board, but it would be better to move it. I don’t really think I need the Crunch Red anymore either, since the Zoso and Godz pretty much do what that does.

I don’t mind moving the Noise Killer to the loop. The way I set up the board is the top row goes to the loop, and the bottom goes…Read more

But I jam with my son, so it’s all worth it. I’ll attach a picture of my amp/cabinet, and my existing pedal board (I may need a bigger one… lol….)

Thanks!!!! I did notice it had a Marshall-ly tone to it, and the Boost really opened it up. I have 3 guitars to test… one with super hot Guitar Madness pickups, a Slash clone with an actual Seymour Duncan Slash set, and a Les Paul copy with a T-Top from Brandonwound.

This was a full kit from SmallBear Electronics. No major mistakes on my part this time, just a few quirks… the holes for the input/output jacks were too low, and a Schottky diode was missing, so I just ordered one (well, 100) from Amazon. Anyone need one?? lol…

I played with it for a little…Read more

I have a label maker at work so I’ll do that for now.

Where can I get one? I see on the order page here the plate isn’t an option.

The tone on that is amazing! Being I’m a fan of classic rock (Zeppelin), and 80’s hair metal/heavy metal, the Godz just might fit the 80’s part.

After that stupid mistake of flipping the dual wiring board, I actually had a spare, due to it coming with the kit I ordered from SmallBear Electronics. I just had to order 2 stomps and the toggle switch. But it’s all wired up, buttoned up, and tested. I’ll have more time over the weekend to actually sit with it…Read more

I’ll buy new stomps and a switch, was able to save the resistors.

Totally my fault…

I made sure to be SO careful about soldering, and where things go, and all that…

I got everything soldered and wired. Put it in the box. Powered it up. No LED’s.

I thought there was a problem, but I connected a guitar, and it actually was working. I messed with the controls for a bit, just to make sure, and all…Read more

I use a TS-100 soldering iron, and I do have a fine conical tip. I’ll look at it closer tomorrow to see if I do need to reflow.

I did get the box from Tayda, it should arrive tomorrow.

I have those 2 threads pinned in my browser and use them as a reference. Thanks for the links.

I ordered the kit from SmallBear Electronics, which made it WAY easier to get the components I need, and they are labeled very clearly.

I wasn’t too happy with the soldering on the line of resistors to the left, for some reason I just couldn’t get it right, but finally did. It looks a…Read more

I skimmed through it just now, but wanted to reply to say that I saw it. I read and downloaded the beginner pedal guide. After all of the components my biggest question is what side of the PCB is the top and/or bottom. I don’t have the boards in front of me, but I think I can figure that out from the Guide.

A few months ago I bought the Zoso PCB’s without really looking at the build guides and such. I can solder like nobody’s business, but I can’t read schematics at all, and the parts list in the guide is a little hard for me to understand. I assume “R” means resistor, and “C” means…Read more
