Stompbox PCB sellers
The big two
- PedalPCB (Albany, Georgia)
The most accurate reproductions of original circuits you’ll find; no changes in component values, no mods. Over 600 projects available. This should be your first stop, especially for dirt circuits. - MadBean Pedals (Hendersonville, Tennessee)
(Circuits are often tweaked beyond the original. Brian incorporates the best mods so you don’t have to glom them on yourself. Limited edition projects are not stocked indefinitely, so buy those PCBs you’re interested in while you can.)
The others
I’ve mostly excluded companies specializing in fully-built pedals, kits, and synth projects.
- Lectric-FX (Marble Falls, Texas)
Lectric has some projects you can’t get anywhere else. Want to build an EHX Small Stone? A DOD Meat Box? This is the only shop that stocks ’em. - AION (Winsor Heights, Iowa)
Primarily a kit company, but plenty of DIY PCBs are available. Their documentation is highly regarded. - Tonepad (New Orleans, Louisiana)
An early haven for self-etching files, this is where my obsession began. They’re still around after more than 20 years! - Rullywow
- TH Custom Effects
- Dead End FX
- Zero G IOD
- Effects Layouts
- Carcharias Effects
- God City Instruments
- Dirt Monger Instruments
- Mask Audio Electronics
- 1776 Effects
- Arcadia Electronics
- Build Your Own Clone
- General Guitar Gadgets
- Delyk PCBs
- GuitarPCB
Non-U.S.-based sellers
- DIY Guitar Pedals (Australia)
- Puzzle Sounds (Sweden)
- Fuzz Dog (United Kingdom)
- Parasit Studio (Sweden)
- Moonn Electronics (Germany)
I’m sure there are others. But I’ve barely scratched the surface of exploring the hundreds of PCBs available from the sources above.
