    Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, Jason. I’m looking into building my first pedal and this and your previous video really helped me to know what I need, and, more importantly, to give me the confidence to just go do it. The way you explained it made it seem super doable! :)
    Thanks for the inspiration!

    G'day from Australia!. Dude!, these vids are an invaluable resource and your voice make these vids a breeze to watch. Because of your in depth description without prattling on, I'm not switching off and actually absorbing knowledge. I can't wait to learn how to read a schematic and find a kit!. Cheers Jason, you're a legend & one of these days I'll either have the money or get in on time to get one of your pedals.

Best videos I’ve seen so far, getting ready to build my first kit, I’ve got some electronics experience but not with circuitry, looking forward to starting the new journey. I’ve been playing music for 33 years and can’t wait to start this new path to building something new and using it to further the experience that is my love of music, listening, watching, playing and learning. Thank you for a wonderful video I will be watching them all!

    Checking in from Eugene, OR - proud to call you neighbor! I just ordered my very first pedal kit, a Mouse from BYOC, and am insanely eager to get going. You're legitimately a huge inspiration and your videos have taught me so much. Watching your build clips on IG is what's finally made me decide to make the dive. If I can do the soldering on my guitar volume/tone pots and can repair my enail's coil then I think I've got what it takes.
    Thank you so much, Jason!

    Watching from Wales in the UK.
    I’ve built 12 or 15 pcb based kits over the past few months, drilling and finishing enclosures when I can. It’s a process that I’ve fallen in love with, so I’m taking it to the next level and starting to build on vero board.
    Love your videos.

    Watching from northern Germany. Awesome video man, I was really looking forward to this. Clean builds and super comprehensive explanation, much appreciated ! Although, I’d suggest that you consider the following: set the pots into the enclosure, put the pcb onto the lugs, tighten the nuts, and then solder the lugs to the pcb. In this way you’d prevent physical stress on the solder joints. ✌️😎
