A few things to making build Guitar pedals easier

Besides offering a bunch of really reasonably priced PCB boards, guitarpcb.com offers a couple of items that will make building pedals easier.

The first is a board that works with 3PDT switches to make it easier to wire. When I first started building pedals, the posts on the 3PDT was the most intimidating part. This board gets rid of the tricky wiring, and should make pedals a little cleaner on the inside.

The second item is the pot condom. These neat little bits fit onto the bottoms of potentiometers to prevent them from shorting out the circuit. I used to use a little strip of electrical tape, but this is a much prettier solution.
