General Guitar Gadgets is sort of an odd fish in the pedal effects/PCB ecosphere. Like BuildYourOwnClone.com, GGG primarily sells pre-packaged kits of their own design. There are a few PCBs available for which GGG doesn't make full kits. We have purchased both the kits and the PCBs as we have found necessary.

You wouldn't necessarily think that the owner of the company is highly religious given the catering to rock musicians, pedal nerds and similar propeller-heads. However, if you attempt to purchase anything on a Saturday, you're out of luck. As a business, General Guitar Gadgets conforms to the Seventh-Day Adventist beliefs of its owner, and is closed on Saturdays.

Once you learn to work around this unconventional business practice, everything else is pretty unremarkable. The kits and PCBs are high-quality. The owner is responsive, respectful, and non-judgemental.
