I'm in a theory class for my continuing education for my trade and it's breadboard hell right now lol!
Resistors and diodes everywhere!

No. I've modded at least four, and I have an electrical engineering degree, though.

Prepare for a flashback to ECE201 and intermittent breadboards with jiggling wires...

Monte Allums has some 808 pedal kits he has developed.
They would be a good start, all you need is an iron and you're in business.
Super nice guy too!

build an echo. Its fun for a 7 year old to make weird noises and twiddle the dials.
I dont think she will really hear the difference between a Wylde and a boutique phaser.
Actually, neither would I.

you ever built one before?

So I was trying to come up with something for Christmas that would be a cool project to work on with my almost-seven-year-old daughter, and I thought building a pedal would be pretty awesome. She likes the idea, but now I'm torn. Do we build a flanger, which would be new to the board, or replace a Wylde Phase 90, which is okay but not great? And is BYOC the way to go?
