Welcome to Jedspeds.co.uk! We sell component project kits to build
guitar effects! We also offer HFE measured Germanium transistors and loads
of other spare parts!
This kit will provide you with all the internal parts to build a clone
effect pedal.
Some of our kits come with professionally fabricated PCB's, some are on strip
board. Either way, the circuits used to design them are verified and 100%
accurate. I don’t sell prototypes, I know they work – I’ve built them! PCB kits
are identified in the listing header eg Tubescreamer PCB KIT. If there is no
mention of PCB then do not expect a fabricated board, it will be a strip board
kit. eg Tubescreamer Kit.
These are 9v supply kits - no batteries
(easy to add one yourself) Simple to follow instructions are sent via email
once purchase complete. If you have
ordered a PCB KIT then you download the instructions from the homepage of
www.jedspeds.co.uk
Please like our Facebook group, search
for Jeds Peds effect pedal kits. We regularly update it with new kits or
special offers.
The kits come with an undrilled 1590B
enclosure (1590 BB for Thrice Wreck and Dr Boogie - appropriate sized enclosure is sent for all kits) I do offer a drilling service for an extra fee of
£3. If you do want this please message requesting invoice.
Some of our kits are harder than others – none are impossible but if you
are a beginner or want some advice where to start just ask :)
Please note, whilst the kits are all fairly straight forward you do need
an understanding of what electronics component kits are about. You will be
supplied with a variety of components which you have to identify and put
together yourself. Do not expect a dot to dot type project, more an enjoyable
challenge. You also need some tools such
as a soldering iron, snips, solder, solder sucker, drill and other things that
you can get hold of quite readily.
The image shown on the listing is for representation only and may not be
of the kit you are buying. Please don’t ask why the kit has 4 knobs instead of
5 or why the transistors aren’t 2n3904 because that’s what’s in the pic. Trust
me, if your kit should have 5 knobs then you will get 5 knobs … It’s just
a pretty picture.
I can also put together a lot of other kits than the ones we sell as
standard so if you do want something that you can’t see, it’s worth asking me
if I can get it for you.
For a full list of available kits then please view our website or our
other listings on Ebay.
My feedback is very important to me, we are a small family run business.
I review the feedback I receive regularly and if someone leaves odd feedback I
will contact and ask why. If in the unlikely event you are unhappy with your
purchase please contact me directly to discuss the reasons why in the first
instance. There’s no need to go feet
first into an ebay case or paypal dispute, we’re very approachable and open to
discussion.
T+Cs and other general info.
Kits are hand-picked, on the odd occasion I may pick up the wrong
resistor or part and drop it in by mistake. If this happens then please contact
me, I will send the right bit super quickly!
These are DIY kits, when buying you accept that it is a project that may
test you and none are incredibly easy. Tech support will be given if required
but the only person who can solve problems is you. You accept that you will
have to identify the components yourself. Google is a wonderful place to
get all the info you need to quickly ID your parts. Capacitors have codes on,
put the code in google and it tells you the value. Resistor band calculators
exist online too. They make it really easy J
If you want some help with your build then just drop us an email. Our
Email address is on the business card that comes with your kit. It’s easier to
communicate that way than via messaging. We do give good support and charge nothing
at all for it. Experience is best shared we feel! There are also forums online!
I do not make money on postage. International postage prices are set at
the price shown. This seems to vary from Post office to Post office and I’ve no
idea why. If you feel that you have been overcharged when your item arrives
then message me and we will work it out. This is unlikely to be the case in the
UK as they are all sent 2nd class recorded at a price of £4.65.
This is broken down, royal mail £3.90, packaging 40p and the 10% ebay take off
postage fees!!!!
If your item goes missing or is delayed I will replace but work along
the same guidelines as Royal Mail. I believe they do not count a packet as lost
until 15 working days have passed - international items will be much longer
than this and vary per country. None have gone missing yet so fingers crossed
one never will. I usually get to the Post Office as soon as possible
once your item is paid.
For my full list of T+C please read the page on Jedspeds.co.uk.
What you can expect to get in
your kit – Enclosure, potentiometers, 9v input, jacks, footswitch, led, circuit
board (pcb or strip board) components such as resistors, capactitors, chips,
transistors and diodes and hook up wire. (list not exhaustive as each kit is
different)
Please do not expect to receive – any finishing item such as knobs or
decals, solder, vinyls or tools and finally any holes in your enclosure unless
ordered, a battery or battery clip.
And just to clarify once more…these kits are fun, they are challenging
but this is a good hobby and quite rewarding. As with any hobby, at first it
will probably be a bit frustrating and make you scratch your head – but - once
you get that first circuit working you will be hooked! It’s a nice way to play
with your tone without spending hundreds on effects in shops. The kit itself is
supplied with the bits you need to make the circuit BUT making it is your bit!
I hope this listing is clear and we have tried to cover most things that
we get asked but if you do have a question then fire us a message. I’d rather
answer it than leave you wondering!
