Ive bought a fair few of them, they were my first pcbs I bought when he was still Poodle Pedals and hes got some good clones - Im still needing to throw together a Brassmaster kit Ive been sat on since Christmas. Overdrive, delay, fuzzes all been great and the two issues I have had have probably been user error - volume drop with the Blue Box and Superfuzz.

Juansolo has utilised them - check his multi boxes - so thats a pretty big thumbs up!

I've used them too.  Very happy also.  His Astrotone is a favourite pedal of mine.

I feel as though Lee is a "good" Facebook friend of mine.  :)

I always try to drive traffic to him because of the quality of his boards.  The prices are fair, shipping to USA is cheap/fair.  I've built three or four of his.  (Absolutely loved his Klon and Buzzaround.)

He's top-notch.

Great guy and great PCBs. Do recommend.

the early boards tended to be full of errors and necessary hacks(being honest, not mean), the quality has improved and the pricing has always been fair considering the shipping and the selection of stuff offered. I'm not sure I'd go with a kit or a single PCB purchase due to shipping costs unless I was in the UK to begin with. I'm waiting on a shipment of pcbs from him at the moment if that helps.

His customer service is also epic.  I've put in a load of orders over the last year or so and only had one problem.  I received mini mxr style knobs instead of the 20mm ones so I sent him an email on a Friday afternoon and received the knobs with my post the next day.  I'd told him not to bother sending them but to wait until I put another order in and got a 2 word reply... Too late :-).

Lee's a great guy, and the boards are top notch too. I've made a bunch of stuff of his and often buy the odd component too (he has great stock of decent Alpha pots with insulated caps over their base).

If you're buying kits, I'd say it's worth buying a drilled enclosure from him too if you don't have a pillar drill, they're always top quality and precision drilled.

One gripe I have with their documentation is the schematics embedded in the PDF are very low resolution. The schematics are in color, so when printing them in B&W the combination of grayscale conversion and low resolution render the part numbers illegible in some cases.

Some of the older docs may not be up to scratch, but more recent stuff should be good enough res for decent A3 prints. if anything isn't up to scratch an email with a nod in the right direction will get me into action
