does anyone know a service where you can provide them with a schematic -- or even a schematic with gerbers -- and they can produce a one-off pcb with fairly quick turn around time?

I'd imagine someone local & proficient with a hobby CNC machine would be your best bet for a one off quick turnaround time.

The issue going that way would be one of cost (but I'd imagine even if going to a fab house there'd be a chunky charge for a one off)  ...ultimately manhours expended & as ever, that depends on board complexity, size of components used, single sided/double sided etc.

What would your budget be for a one off board?

Well, I seem to remember running across a website where they would do a one-off for about $40, which is actually fine with me.  But now I have no memory, of course, as to what that site was!

The un-availability of a service like this is why people learn to do press-N-peel, photo etching, etc.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

Guitar PCB has a "one off" service.  Though its a two board minimum.  http://www.guitarpcb.com/apps/webstore/products/show/1641049  I have ordered a few things from him but have never  had him do a one off so I can't vouch for his service.  He invites you to contact him about it.

Turn around is about 3 weeks though.  Not sure how fast you're looking for.
