Mental "custom" effects pedals...

Hello - have you all gone into the DIY effects thread pinned at the top of this forum, you should!

So making DIY effects is great fun, I did it for a while when I used more effects, great fun- lots of support on various forums and you get to make cool things that make noises.

So I saw someone selling on a Facebook sales page a "custom hand built" effect, some kinda boost - and a copy of a schematic that's all over the web.
Nicely built, they spent a bit of time making it neat - but on perf board rather than making a PCB- but that's fine there's only 7 components on the board. Nice looking thing, bit of a big enclosure for what's in it but hey ho - someones made something....

Cool.


Then saw the price...

£95

secondhand....

theres a fella selling them new for £130-140.... for a home built pedal, on perf board.... based on a readily available circuit diagram.....

madness

But if you don't build your own stuff and know little about electronics (which I'm told is true....but I don't believe it ;) ) then I suppose it looks like magic.
