i don't do it commercially like keely or those guys, like said i have no money to do it with being unemployeed currently, so as such if i built them for folks it'd have to be on a per pedal, per person basis, i'd only charge you guys on here materials and the price would vary from box to box, roughly it cost me about 25 dollars to build a silicon fuzzface, it was about 27 for the MXR guy, and the tonebender was a bit more due to the germanium transistors, that guy cost me 35, i built a MXR phase 45 clone a while back that ran me 35, and an "orange squeezer" compressor that was 27 but i was not all that impressed by it, i guess it did what guitar compressors do, just seemed useless to me lol, but like i said for the time being it'd be just the cost of materials (and shipping) i'd not charge labor, 2 reasons word of mouth advertising is worth more than a radio ad, and they'd be one off deals custom built, so if anyone wants something feel free to contact me, i'm working on a deal with someone on this board for a couple pedals i don't know if they want the cat let outta the bag on it as yet lol so i'll leave it at that, but once those are done folks on here will have something to go from as far as how well they are made and how they sound. biggest reason i haven't gotten into it commercially is building pedals at this time seems an awful lot like scrapping metal, everyone and their uncle joe is doing it, some are doing it stupidly and charging over 200 dollars for a custom deal (but that's not my style)


stuff it....... then bake it.......
