Guitar Pedal PCB

This fall I collaborated with my friend Brock on a guitar pedal project. It's based on a pedal schematic called "Yet Another Fuzz Face". Brock had done electronics projects but never designed and ordered a custom PCB. So I encouraged him to try inputting his schematic in KiCAD and designing a small circuit board he could mount into his guitar pedal enclosure. There was a pretty steep learning curve for KiCAD but he struggled through it and got a PCB design that looked good, was small enough to fit nicely inside the pedal, and passed the design rule checker.

So we ordered 10 prototype PCBs from PCBWay, which arrived in just a few days.

Here's a video of us unboxing the circuit boards. Thanks for PCBWay for sponsoring this project and getting another hobbyist maker their first custom circuit board!
