You mean out of stock? Its pretty common with byoc for pedals to float in and out of stock for any given pedal. Keep watching..

hope so! current web site is bleak dunes of Out Of Stock

build notes -
I loaded the pots & switches with the board on table, solder side down.
Just a bit of solder on one leg of each pot , from top, enough to hold them in place while maneuvering board into enclosure.

I laid a two thin strips of plastic (precisely two HF putty spreaders thick ) under the regular pots first, so they were all level, separated from the board and at a solder tab height I liked. Tack away, then took one strip out to tack on the dual pot ( its taller, needed a thinner shim underneath)

I had to bend the all legs of the switches ( slight S bend, all to same side) to get them to align with the board -to- enclosure thru-holes while still mostly flat to enclosure. Didnt want to strain anything on board by forcing it .

Soldered lugs of entire pot/switch set.

Slip the whole works together and reflow the tacked tabs, then solder the rest of the tabs.

Going to try laser printed decals for a couple current builds ... or upholster it with Crown Royal bag felt & some jewel bling

]I'd like to get a set of these CB knobs but a full complement , would be almost as much as the pedal

All of the regular pots in my kit are 6.4mm shaft, while the dual pot is but 6.0 shaft

Shes a WIP ( work in progress )
I'd like to buy some other color 'jewels" fpr knobs , but have to buy in sets AND have to do some drill & fill to use ( will be tidy ...)
Anyone want to share some of the excess ? Cost + postage. (ps - not making a business , just sharing

still need to decide on the color & labels, but the bling is coming together .
Too much flair ?

For me? Yes. But I am a simple fella. :mrgreen: I can definitely appreciate the concept. Looking super cool!
