Re: DIY Pedals?
GuitarPCB and Madbean sell PCBs mainly, and sometimes parts to go with them. They average $10 per pcb with volume discounts. Fuzzes generally go for cheaper and stuff like delays and flangers are more.
I like that idea way better. If you're going to DIY this stuff, best to source most of your own components. Most kit companies consider boxing a bunch of stuff together in one package worthy of 2x the price of the stuff itself. If you buy a GuitarPCB PCB, use Tayda and their cheap $3 shipping for the components, pots, etc, ebay an enclosure for $5 or buy a blem or 3 from Mammoth (already painted and drilled? niiiiice), and buy your germanium transitors/reverb bricks/really big ICs/vactrols/etc from someone like smallbear, you'll see a decent amount of savings on product. Try and consolidate your companies though. Shipping costs from 4 different suppliers will start hurting really quick.
Oh! Don't forget *****eslovemyswitches. no, i'm not kidding, just google it. They may be cheaper than anyone else by a couple pennies. They also have enclosures for a good price too.
