  • Aion FX kits are designed to be different. They're focused on a single idea: What if we could eliminate the tedious parts of building pedals, but keep parts that are fun and rewarding?
    So we re-imagined how pedals are built, taking inspiration from the broader maker movement as well as manufacturing design principles, but staying true to the tone of the original circuits. They’re made with the beginner in mind-but like the best products or apps, they aren’t oversimplified. They’re just designed well, with painstaking attention to detail.
    If you’ve never built a pedal before, an Aion FX kit can be your first. And even if you’ve been doing it for years, try one out! It may change the way you build.

    Most underrated pedal manufacturer. Great prices, selection, quality, and documentation.

    The documentation is what made me stick with Aion for kits and PCBs. They are far and away more thorough, descriptive, and professional than any others I've seen.

    I just ordered a kit and can't wait. * Just built ours today. What a fantastic experience. I've build a dozen or so pedals from kits. This was the easiest one that I've built. The forward thinking in the ribbon cables made a huge difference. Also, the LED setup for power on indication is genius. Also, I didn't have to paint the enclosure or drill the holes. It's the next level of pedal kits. Everything about it was wonderful. And it sounds amazing. We're very happy here!

    Aion FX is awesome! I am beyond impressed. The parts and documentation are par none. Just built my second kit. The Halo put a huge smile on my face!

    Built a Refractor, fantastic quality components and absolutely first class documentation. It now has booted a couple of brand name pedals off the pedalboard. Like Kevin I was getting frustrated with the lack of progress at first and accumulated a box of not working and not sounding very good circuits. After building this in kit form and having success I have gone back to the old box of stuff and have managed to resurrect and get a few working. I have almost competed a Cygnus complete with mucking around with some images to stick on the box.Thank you Kevin I now see a better way of doing things thanks to the professionalism of your kits, I have gone from back yard thinking to a more measured approach to building and sourcing components.

    I built a Flare last year and compared it to a fuzz pedal I built 20 years ago in high school. The difference in quality and documentation is incomparable. It’s a great kit! I finally sat down to learn it a couple weeks ago, and it’s a regular part of my ambient rig.
    I just ordered a Theseus, so I’m excited based on my first exposure from Aion Fx.

    I’m SUPER thankful for your hard work. I learned how to research and source parts based on following your documentation for the refractor. I built my own Klone (after purchasing your circuitboard) I went on to build my own amp. You were the catalyst. So thanks for your hard work - it’s paving the way for a bunch of new builders like myself.
    👏👏👏

    I’ve got my first Aion FX kit on the way to me. Building the Flare Fuzz. I’ve built several kits before, which had varying degrees of documentation, and a build success rate that matched the documentation 😄. So I really appreciate the thorough build docs that are available for Aion kits!
    And thanks for the printed values on the resistors! Even though I typically use a multimeter to find the values, this is a big win for those of us with red/green colorblindness!

    Dude, you guys are killing it. I built the Lumin last night and breadboarded the Parsec in prep for that build. I don’t need the pre-made pcb, but yours are justifiable Keep rockin’. We’ll see you in the fotums 🤙.

    I built the Flare Fuzz Machine earlier this week - it was by far the easiest and fastest build I've ever done, which is pretty remarkable for a pedal with eight pots! And the resulting pedal sounds sensational. I've got the Andromeda Natural Overdrive and Deimos Germanium Fuzz still to build, and I'm already thinking about what will come after those.

    What an awesome video! It’s especially cool coming across this after tons of Aion pcb’s I’ve purchased. I absolutely love the Aion product and the documentation of the circuit. It’s nice to know I’m supporting a good guy! Keep up the great work Aion and thank you!!

    I finally got around to finishing your first run of the 0D-855(the one with volume error on lug 1) Holy Sh!T. This is an incredible pedal, I’m going to order one of your Big Muffin kits to put this in front next, not sure which version to build tho
