I don't know if many folks here have an interest in rolling your own pedals, but I stumbled into this site this weekend. It's seems to be a good source for boards for many popular (and expensive) pedals. For instance they have a board for a Pete Cornish G-2. I am going to order boards and build a few of the circuits offered there. I've never built a pedal before, but it seems like it could be pretty fun.

Re: Cool site for pedal builders
Thanks,
That looks like a good site and great yet another forum to sign up for.
I have been thinking about get back into pedal building again, cheaper than tube amps and I still get to have fun.

Bookmarked!
Thanks.
I built a GGG tremolo about a week ago.
Pretty cool when you dime the depth and turn the speed up.
Sort of a stuttering affect.

Re: Cool site for pedal builders
It does look like the Madbean is a little Overdrive/distortion heavy, but there's a uni vibe, and a delay that I want to try. I'm having a hard time convincing the wife that six amps in the house is "necessary". That's not my term, and not one that I even agree is relevant to the discussion. None the less, a half dozen $30 pedals is much more conducive to marital harmony then one more $750 amp.

+1 for the madbean!
The work he put in getting the Blackstone sussed should elevate
him to saint status! He also prepared the first ever schematic for
the Burns Buzzaround, Cornish G-2, and many more. He's got a
great attitude to boot. Zachy Vexxery used to try and stomp a
mudhole in him on the HC boards with the most absurd diatribes re
"cloning" but look who offers an experimentalist type FX pedal!!
ROFLMAO

Re: Cool site for pedal builders
Yeah I also need to reduce my inventory of amps and work on pedals again for awhile, like you said easier on the pcket book and marriage.
I am not even sure what some of those pedals he offers are, but sound interesting.

Re: Cool site for pedal builders
I'm going to be going the same route while I'm in Dallas this summer. Pedals are easy and take up a LOT less space, plus I have a few builds in queue that I think will complement the Express well.
