I've been doing this for years now, but due to some uncontrollable circumstances I find my self on a different continent than all of my stuff. I think I'll be able to borrow an iron from my brother soon but I don't have anything to build here. I was thinking dropping a few extra bucks for kits would make life easy.
The Aion stuff looks nice, and I know about BYOC, but is there anybody else out there in the US doing kits? I assume it won't be easy to get stuff shipped from overseas ATM.
Does anyone do pedalpcb kits. I've been wanting to build the Organ Donor forever
General Guitar Gadgets has decent kits, assuming they are still open for business.

Damn, hadn't ever considered that.
Antique Electronics has the MOD kits and even Stewart MacDonald is getting in on the act with JHS and other branded stuff.
Guitar PCB.com sells kits, I think he has a link on his website. Dasmusikding (spelling?) sells kits from several people.

musikding sold me my first kit waaaaaaay back when ... fuzz factory
I was assuming Das Musikding wouldn't be able to ship overseas. Perhaps that isn't true.

Depends which side of the sea you're on (and what particular sea you had in mind) 8). They are in Germany, and it looks like they only ship within Europe.
Sorry about the confusion here. I moved from the states to Eastern Europe last year for work. But because of this crazy global pandemic we came back to the states for a while. We don't know how long we'll be here so I don't want to get to much because we need to be able to travel lite. Hence maybe kits.
It's funny, I had a similar conversation at work today. I'm in the US and work for a US based company. We were discussing renaming our global division to our "international" division. Global said that wouldn't work because to they refer to the US as the "international" division.

Hahaha, that sounds like an episode of Seifeld
I have a pretty good stock pile of parts. If you had a particular project in mind, I wouldn't mind sending you a bag of stuff. You'd have to get the hardware from Tayda (box and pots) and the PCB, but I could hook you up with the rest for cost+shipping. PM me.
My first and only pedal kit was a BYOC Reverb
It was awesome and I am so grateful I started with them because the build went smoothly, it had great instructions, and it definitely planted the seed.
Just wanted to give BYOC props.
Side note, since then I have bought pcbs from them. I contacted them and they were super cool and sold me just pcbs. Just FYI to anyone that maybe wants to build something they have but don't need the kit.

+1 My first kit was an opticomp. They are great kits and go together easily. I have since built several more. They come out with the occasional kit that makes me want to build it, but usually, I just source PCBs and parts. They are super easy to work with, NWKenning is the man if you hop over to their forum, plus they have some PCBs listed on their site also.
I've always had lots of respect for byoc, but I've never bought one cause I've never bought a kit. Maybe I should take a look

Haven't done one of the PedalPCB kits, but have used several of their PCB's (including Organ Donor) and they're great. really like their selection.
If you now reside in the US then kit wise the sky is your limit. It's slim pickings getting kits in Europe from local suppliers that aren't called MusicDing. In contrast the US seems to have a plethora of kit suppliers.
