hey guys need a few tips on soldering pedal pcbs just bought some devi pcbs and having some trouble soldering them in my tip is the wrong one (i think) for this type of work

i didnt realise how small the holes are haha and how close there all together

smaller tip for pcbs?

any infos good

I'd recommend a fine point "pencil" tip.

My iron came with a pretty small "screwdriver" tip, which works fine (and great for making cables and bigger things), but I just bought a pointed (conical) one, since I think it'll work a bit better on PCBs.

As long as it's pretty small, it'll do fine.

cheers pencil tip it is

Not sure what type of iron you have or even if you are in the US, but I highly recommend buying tips from Dale Pro Audio. I just got a new Weller iron and the tip was too big for pedal stuff, and I couldn't find a new tip for less than $6 plus shipping. I finally found a new fine point Weller tip at Dale for $3.44 with free shipping.

no where near the u.s of a unfortunatly

3.44 is a steal though everythings cheaper over there makes me jelly

just gonna roam the electronic stores for them round my area
