General Guitar Gadgets ("GGG") is sort of an odd fish in the pedal effects/PCB ecosphere. Like BuildYourOwnClone.com, GGG primarily sells pre-packaged kits of their own making. GGG also sells a few different PCBs for which they have not made full kits. We have purchased both the kits and the PCBs as we have found suits our purposes. Mostly we've bought the kits, and when there's something cool sounding like the Bronx Cheer for which they only have the PCB, well, then we buy the PCB...
You wouldn't necessarily think that the owner of the company is 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.
