BYOC Closing....

[Modern Saint]

On several other forums, there is a thread that BYOC is closing with 40% off by using GOODBYEBYOC.

Unsure if this is true or not but the website says nothing nor does the FB page. However if you Google it, those threads come.

Must be true as the internet is always right!!!

Now the website does show many kits being out of stock.

1) Has the big names J.H.S priced them out of the market?
2) Has the smaller imports Joyo, etc. stolen the market
3) Is the market now that saturated, well I believe that it is.

Yeah, I saw something about that in a FB group, but couldn’t find any more info.

I’ll have to see if the Canadian distributor is doing anything to clear out inventory.

BYOC won’t ship to Canookia.

I made one of their fuzz'zz and a chorus. They still work great but not the best sounding units around. BYOC was fun, sorry to see them go if it's true.

Plenty of factors probably

Off the top of my head

1. Cheap pedals and an over abundance of secondary market options,
2. So much information available online these days that you can pretty easily figure out your build
3. So many pedals on the market today, in general, and it seems like lots of folks are chasing the dragon. A clone kit supplier can only keep up with so many pedals of the moment

Since most things I have tried buying from them was usually sold out, I would say hey just got fed up fighting the supply chain.

I built their Mouse 2.0 Distortion and Boost/OD-2 kits years ago. Good stuff.

All the good stuff sold out in very short order...
