Pedal kit for first time builder

alvynmcq

I am hoping to build my first pedal and looking for suggestions on a first kit? Something straight forward but worthwhile would be great.

I have modded a couple of cheapy pedals so far, joyo ultimate drive with the freakish blues mod and a joyo british sound pedal with a cab sim bypass mod. So I have semi ok soldering skills

Thanks everyone

Fuzzdog thug or boner boost are pretty foolproof.

+1 for any of the Fuzzdog boosts.

Probably easier to build one of these than to do those mods!

Some of the Fuzzdog kits can be very fine and fiddly (still haven't debugged my Phaze 90...), so something with a low component count (meaning a larger pcb) would be my recommendation. So, one of the single-transistor boosts would be ideal.

Thanks folks. Will have a look at the fuzzdog boosts and get one ordered up. I have always fancied a COT50 pedal, maybe that would be a good place to start?
