Funny you mention the ribbon, I'm up to about the 12th build now over the last few years, and each time I say the same thing... and then never buy any :lol:
Fair enough. For US$1 from PedalPCB, it is hard to complain. I assume they are the fairly standard ground the input to the effect in bypass mode style of true bypass? I never actually checked.

Got a new soldering iron recommendation- Ksger T12

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLB7286

Heats in 2 seconds, is tiny and cheap.

Tony Pepers recommended it, arrived in 6 days, and it’s superb.
$70ish can’t be beat.

I was looking at something similar before being gifted a Goot RX711AS soldering station.

Josh from JHS has a series on building pedals, going thru some classic circuits and talking about them and the various iterations of them that are out there in the market place, and then builds them on one of those very cool Coppersound DIY Breadboards!
