We have little sympathy for such pedal manufacturers when people make clones of their pedals because these manufacturers are charging exorbitant prices for circuits that they themselves have copied. It is often also the case that such pedals come from electronic schematics that were worked out long ago by someone else. To these manufacturers, more often than not their cost is maybe $25.00 worth of parts. Now, there are certain pedal manufacturers that charge exorbitant prices for pedals that have very little, in terms of components. While it may seem cheaper to build the pedal yourself, please be reminded that this does not include the price of the soldering station, or the other incidentals that you have to get in order to do the actual work to assemble a pedal (Drill motor or Drill Press, Bits, parts cabinets, etc.). If you want a pedal that makes a certain sound and that pedal is still in production by the original manufacturer, we advise you purchase that pedal, or rent ours. Barring a few special exceptions, we will neither build, nor rent such pedals despite the fact we've accidentally purchased a couple of such pedals or PCBs. Fuzzdog offers many such pedals in order for people to get a "more affordable" version of a pedal that's currently being offered for sale. We do not believe in undercutting existing pedal manufacturers who offer original pedals at reasonable prices.
We have purchased a number of PCBs from Fuzzdog in order to ensure that we have certain vintage-style pedals (meaning the guts are the same, or work-alike) available for rental. We take no position on the kits and PCBs that Fuzz Dog makes available.
Here are pedal kits that are/were offered by Fuzzdog in the UK.
