    For me as a first pedal, I would be interested in building a sound gate. (For those who don’t know, it measures the output from the guitar and only lets the signal through if it’s past a certain threshold). I feel like it would be fairly simple to make but it’s very useful when put behind a delay as it reduces noise and stops unwanted string noise from being echoed back.

    Thanks for the tips, it answers what was going wrong for some builds, that never got completed. I'm just trying to build a Fuzz face with BC183 transistors.

      I'm happy You like it! :) Fuzz face it's a great and easy circuit to start and also very good for basic mods to learn how things work. :) Cheers!

    First, I think it's really cool that you are doing this and encouraging people to learn. I think my first build should just be something relatively simple, but I'd really like to build a smart gate pedal.

    Hey man! Grat channel! I'm starting to get into pedal making myself, was planning on doing a fuzz kit first since they should be good practice.
    Can you recommend some good eu based sites that sell clone kits?
    Also, I plan on doing just a few kits to get a hang of it, after that I would like to make everything myself... have you made your own pcb's and would you do a video on how to do it? I know a few processes in theory but your videos are really nice to follow. I can follow the schematics to a point but transfering it to a blank PCB is a bit abstract to me right now so I'd be really interested in that kinda content if xou plan on making it?
    Cheers!

    As for an actual pedal build I’m sure I’ll want to start with something simple (from what I’ve heard) like a fuzz, or probably a clone of an old French Toast/Tone Machine pedal.

    I'm not really a pedal builder, but what about a fuzz pedal with a parallel transient designer. This has not been done before to my knowledge. So you could get all the fuzziness you want but compensate with an attack knob to keep the definition. Maybe an included blend knob would also be cool :-)

    Dude nice work keep it up! I want to build a delay pedal for my next project. I'm a new builder so I have some questions. For example what size of wires do you use?

      Hey! I use solid core wires mostly 0,6mm diameter. I like them because I can form them and they keep shape so builds looks more tidy :) I'm not including baterry socket because in most of my designs there is no space for it :P Thanks for watching! Cheers! :)

    Rewelacyjny pomysł z tym kanałem, będzie oglądane! :D
    Póki co zbudowałem kopię Suhr'a Riot'a i jestem mega zadowolony. Jedyny błąd jaki popełniłem to to, że nie ustawiłem dobrze diody względem obudowy. Dioda jest wewnątrz, przez co nie zawsze widzę kiedy jest włączony, ale tak to wszystko od razu zadziałało :) Następnym efektem który chce zbudować jest Fuzz Factory, a później planuję bardziej zagłębić się w temat budowania i modowania, by z czasem tworzyć własne kosmiczne wynalazki. Narazie robię je z gotowych kit'ów, ale chciałbym zbudować swoją pracownię pełną części "na wyciągnięcie ręki".
    Gdy będę się za to zabierać, czy mógłbym się do Ciebie odezwać, spytać o kilka rad? Lubię szukać info na własną rękę, ale jednak skuteczniej jest pogadać z kimś bardziej doświadczonym :)
    Czekam na kolejne filmiki!
