Do it yourself


After having lengthy conversations with a young guitarist friend of my mine, I decided to de-mystify the growing mystique around classic pedal effects and amps. I have built and cloned pedals for a long time. Throughout the web there are a group of people dedicated to building and analyzing the Fuzz-face and other classic pedals so I shall post the links here.

A lot of classic pedals sell for 10 or more times their worth and but are relatively easy and inexpensive to construct even for a beginner. 

There is lots of BS going around so remember, the sounds that you hear from your favorite guitarist are a combination of instrument, amplifier, effects and most of all attack. In other words Clapton will sound basically the same with any guitar and amplifier combination.

WARNING: Please remember that you and only you are responsible for yourself so please be careful before you work with high voltage.
