PedalPCB Builds (Distortion 250 + Tommy)

The first kit I got was a BYOC 5 Knob Compressor in I think 2018 (need confirmation). [This has been out of stock for a bit]

In June/July 2019 I got more into building and DIY'ing pedals, as in sourcing parts and building my arsenal of tools. I've definitely spent enough to buy some nice effects, a new guitar, or a nicer amp. But yeah, I have like twice as many pedals as I had before (I'm at like twenty-something boxed, a good amount of boards working, troubleshooting, or not functional).

The pictures are the two PedalPCB builds I did; DOD 250 and Timmy (Distortion 250 and Tommy). The Timmy clone took me I think two tries... I messed up and got the wrong switch and tried mounting it, then tried mounting a solder lug version of the right switch to the PCB.

I think that could work if: (1) you just need to watch out on how much solder you use, some can get under the lugs and PCB and the part will be stuck or really hard to remove; (2) if you just offboard wire it.

I sourced the enclosures, knobs, jacks, switches, knobs, and other outer pieces from LoveMySwitches (formerly BitchesLoveMySwitches; I think the guy had some stickers leftover and are on their site).

I forget the gauge of wire I had there, but I originally got a lot of my supplies (solder, wire, tools, etc.) from Amazon. Quality really jumps around with those orders. Looking back I won't get wire from them again, it felt like cheap clay and the wire was really malleable. A lot of my early builds I made for myself used that. I might make a separate post on individual tools such as wire.

The Timmy clone used the PCB and a breakout 3PDT board. I don't have a picture of the guys on my phone sadly, but I think I soldered breakout to the lugs of a solder lug 3PDT.

I liked the Timmy Clone more than the 250 clone
