DIY pedals

[emuellerx]

has anyone ever attempted to make one? is it pretty simple or difficult? I'd like to try but I don't really know much about electronics and circuit boards

id say it would be pretty hard but thats just my opinion:thumb:

Ihave made i few, it's not hat hard if you can solder and read schematics. A fuzz or a booster is a good first pedal to build. For sites about check my supplies an d useful websites thread.

you could try the strwaberry ice or Aidan's volume pedal pictorial to start off with. Very easy.

I made an A/B box, my soldering iron was rusty though so the solder wouldn't stick right.

you can just buy a new tip on most.

right now i'm working on a bass wah pedal with 12AX7 preamp tubes built in instead of some generic fet transistor... i'll post pics in the luthiery forum after i get her built

[moghes69]

i built an orange squeeze compressor a week ago. but it doesn't compress. all it does now is boost the signal to the point where i'm affraid of blowing out my amp. :upset: building one isn't that hard, its just a pain figuring out where you ****ed up

[Screaming Solo]

they're actually quite simple (well alot of them at least)

i havn't built any yet, but i completly modded out my DS-1, and modded my wah in addition to making it true bypass

its a pretty fun hobby

[emuellerx]

i'd like to try one, but i really don't know anything about it haha....my networking teacher also teaches an electronics class, so I could ask him for help...

maybe you guys could suggest some good projects?

a compressor would be cool, but I'd like to start with like fuzzy distortion stuff

but I'd like to be able to adjust the tone with a knob or something

i'm excited about trying one of these projects =D

[Dave293]

Some good starting projects are this
http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?board=6.0 or a fuzz pedal.
