populated PCBs?

[Blaydenj]

some of you guys may think of this as cheating, but im a complete beginner and am looking for some quick, easy work to do on an old DS-1 ive got lying around.

what id like to know (and excuse me if this is silly question) is if theres any way to just order a populated PCB of say, a fuzz pedal, and just stick it in the DS-1 enclosure? any ideas?

p.s. im so electronically retarded its not funny

try getting one of the kits they sell at Small Bear (if I'm not mistaken).  Essentially, it's just solder by numbers.

If you're not happy with yr DS-1 search for mods.
Melanhead's are an excellent set to apply.

You wanna build from a set plan with all the bits? Check www.buildyourownclone.com

SWEET! thanks guys!

also, i took the ds-1 apart last night just to have a poke around, and i was wondering whether the BOSS style "stomp" switch might be a bit of a problem, cos alot of the kits and designs ive seen on have the "3PDT Switches". any ideas?

gotta read up on this stuff. use the wiki, or search, or plain ol google.

You mean its old and broken? In which case, there is no drop-in replacement circuit. All copys of the circuit are designed for true bypass, not boss switches. If its not broken, id leave it alone!

AH-HA! i understand now, thanks race driver
