It's a challenge! I'm sure you could nail it, I reckon your skills are right up there by now.

Bear in mind a bunch of it is just chip sockets. When I build a Klon on stripboard, now THAT was a complicated bastard.

I built that green ringer from www.generalguitargadgets.com pcb board with everything layed out and labeled on it. It was so easy. I bet that delay kit will be just as easy but take longer. GO FOR IT.

Half of those black IC things are just sockets anyway.

I say go for it - the BYOC kits are pretty idiot-proof from what I've seen.

Yeah. I would have jumped onto the Tonefactor sale on Friday if the rate had been any better.

I've gone onto the HC forums three times in the last week and found some good info every time. Just had to wade through all the shite.

It is a complete minefield of tripe with something good in every 100 threads.

mewithoutus has stopped crying and come back to HCFX to "make the forum better".

haha.. holy shit. This is a vid on a adjusting the trimpots (which isn't simple in itself) but you can see how cramped it is in there.
