first build-byoc

Post by 100 dollar cars »

i'm planning on buying the byoc octave fuzz. it's going to be my first build. i know how to solder, so that isn't an issue. have any of you built this one? how difficult is it to put together?

thanks in advance, guys

I built it. It's pretty easy as those kits go.

Yeah my very first build was the BYOC Rat, and it was a piece of cake. Even worked first time I hooked it up. You should be totally fine with the Octave Fuzz. It has a much smaller parts count than the Mouse.

Fun build! Enjoy it!
If you have any fuzz (dur), run the octave fuzz into it. Destruction!

right on. thanks for the input. i was going to buy a confidence booster as well, but it seems like a waste of money and from these responses, i'll just go with the octave fuzz.
