Title: VFE - Klein Bottle DIY Kits available
Post by: benny_profane on March 08, 2019, 03:58:07 PM
VFE is offering Klein Bottle kits (no option for just the board/MCUs) at a few different tiers (SMD op amps, knobs, etc.) at http://vfepedals.com/diy.html (http://vfepedals.com/diy.html). The basic kits include the PCB; a drilled, painted, and labeled enclosure; MCUs; and pots, switches, jacks, LEDs, and wires.

Expected to ship before 4/15/19.

Damn, that's awesome!
Wish I could afford to buy the bare bones kit at this time.  Would love the option to buy the enclosure later so I could spread my costs out further, but I can understand why it would be less feasible to offer such a thing.

Neat. I have one of these boards from his Kickstarter. Wish I could just buy an enclosure...that's a ton of holes to drill!

Could be worth reaching out and asking to see if you could just buy the enclosure? Definitely a lot of holes and tight tolerances.

We could, in theory, split a kit between us, you taking the enclosure, and me taking the guts. 

Alas, now is not a good time for me to purchase stuff, so this is still just more dreaming.

The PPP drill template order form is included in the DIY documentation as well. That's another (probably really expensive) option.

I decided that I deserve one of these.   ;)
Order placed.
