I've ordered a couple of the input and cf/eq boards to fuck with. Certainly look decent for moderate complexity builds!

[Tortuga]

Those are really awesome. I wonder if they're open source design and can be printed / sourced here rather than having to order from the UK

[Zozobra]

I doubt you could get them printed cheaper without buying an assload of them, even using a cheap chinese fab house like pcbway. Shipping for up to 6 boards is only £5.50, which is like $7.50.
I'll be building something with mine in the next few weeks once they arrive so I'll report on the quality. I started on a butterslax preamp using the old dev boards but I'll do it with these instead as it'll be cleaner.

Anxious to see what you do with them.

You're right - that shipping cost is certainly reasonable

Wow, he knocked those out rather quickly! Merlin is such a badass.

[Zozobra]

Yeah Merlin is the man. Super helpful dude too.

Nice! They even have CF/EQ/PI board with a James tone stack.

Boards have arrived. They look to be of reasonable quality and fit for purpose. Given the reused packaging they shipped in they appear to be from pcbway, which certainly explains why they can be pushed out so cheaply. I may have time to work with them tonight, if not it'll be next week.
