Customer Testimonials
Very quick turn around for someone who seems so busy. I'm glad you take the time to do the blog and to write
personal response emails to someone who just orders a $20 part. You have integrity.
I really appreciate the way you run your business - it's not everyone who can put out products at such a
reasonable price and still keep in touch with the customers. You've got a great reputation on all the various
Internet bulletin boards, and appears very well deserved.
The quality of the circuit board is remarkable, and the layout of the resistors makes the assembly basically
idiot-proof. Your passion for electronics design shows through in the visual simplicity of the board itself and in
the sound the circuit produces. Well done!
I have to say when situations like this arise is when you get to see the character of the people and companies
you do business with. You have been responsive, helpful and very professional throughout. I am very confident of
having selected the right company and product.
This is the best DIY project board that I have ever seen. Good job!
As an electrical engineer myself, I appreciate the fine quality of the double-sided, plated-through hole
fiberglass circuit board, the nest layout, comprehensive documentation, and a parts list that can be ordered in
minutes from DigiKey. This is how all kits should be presented, and I have built a few over 30 years of building
experience.
