My First B.Y.O.C.

As in "Build Your Own Clone".
I just ordered a Fuzz pedal from byoc. Building my first effects pedal. This means I'm gonna return the Peterson Strobostomp I ended up buying. That was such an impulse buy. I wanted to find a tuner that was brighter than the cheapy one I use (which works fine btw). I originally wanted to get a Korg DT10... considering I had one day to get ANYTHING at cost from Guitar Center. They didn't have Korg products. So I ended up buying the Strobostomp... just cos I got a ridiculous discount. So from the original price tag of $190, I got it for $120 or something. Stupid cheap, but still more than I wanted to spend.
Well the DIY bug bit me, and I decided it's more important for me to get a DIY pedal. Besides, who needs a tuner that tunes to the accuracy of -1/+1 cent when you have Scott on stage with his crazy capo? Best tuner we have on stage is a Boss TU2 (-10/+10 cent accuracy). So it was overkill for me to keep the Strobostomp. Besides, I can use my brothers TU2 if I want too. Not as accurate for studio use, but a workhorse on stage. There's a reason why it is the most popular stage tuner in the world. Simple and effective.
