Hi, friend! This is my first video so if I wasn't clear, feel free to ask questions here in the comments.
I just came across your channel this week. Amazing work and explanation. Do you plan to continue making content on this channel?
Thanks for the kind words. I do have some more videos planned. Is there anything you'd like to see?
Wow.....this is a splendid video, Mark, especially for a first effort. Your visual effects, pacing, thorough coverage of all necessary programs and considerations, and presentation are impeccable. At this rate, you will soon be the go-to guy for PCB circuitry and effects videos on YT. Thanks so much for alerting me to the video and for the time and effort spent on its production.
I feel honored, Uncle Doug! Thanks for the wonderful comment.
@@HomespunEffects Believe me, you earned it. We know how tough it is to create coherent, instructive videos.....and you hit this one out of the park. Congratulations on a great future on YT, and thanks for the very nice acknowledgement at the end of the video.
Thanks so much!
I made a 2x12 guitar cabinet based on your instructions. I'll have to show it on a future video.
@@HomespunEffects That's great news, Mark. We look forward to seeing it.
What is the minimum and maximum range of capacitors for Having more or less Bass in output tone? Thanks.
awesome channel. all other guitar pedal related educators on YT should take note
You're too kind, friend. Much appreciated.
Amazing channel, just started building pedals and have just been buying printed circuits and want to start making my own, thank you so much 😁
Excellent! I’m glad you found me. I should have some new stuff very soon.
Had a great time watching your video! Thank you for your time and work!
I’m glad that you enjoyed it. It’s about time for me to start making videos again so if you have any requests just let me know.
This is really good. Some great resources and very clearly explained. Thanks a lot.
Thanks, my friend. I’m glad you stopped by.
You had me at treble booster, and I subd at Uncle Doug. Great video about to watch Part 2. Thanx for your efforts this has really helped.
I'm so glad you stopped by.
This is EXACTLY the series I've been searching for!
It's what I was looking for when I wanted to get started as well. I'm glad it helped.
I recently subscribed, and now I'm going back through all your videos from the beginning. Your content is excellent - keep up the good work!
Thank you, friend. If you have any questions or see any mistakes, let me know.
Hey man! Thanks for your videos. Just watched 3 so far. But already downloaded eagle and the libraries and also started my treble boost schematic hahahaha.
As a friend already commented bellow, this is exactly the info we need, and the others info on UA-cam was not deep enough for starting design layouts etc.
God bless you ! Thanks again!
Thank you, friend.
Keep in mind that the layouts I show are made to be small to keep the prices low. I may not employ best practices all the time. I didn't have a lot of money when I started making my own pedals so cost was important.
@@HomespunEffects that is nice. I will keep watching your videos and learning more. The BYC and the GGG kits are basically the price of an original pedal. Now instead of paying $69 for a kit. It will be at least 1/2 of the price. Plus we can modify everything. I am really happy to find your Channel man!
This video series was really helpful getting into this subject. I've done dozens of pedals and now I'm designing my first PCB.
I'm so glad to be able to help.
very good video...would be great if you did more like it.
Thanks! What would you like to see next?
Thank you so much from your nice video, i learn a lot from you...🙏👏
I'm glad that you got something out of it. Thanks for watching!
Excellent vid. I learned a ton. Good job, man.
Thank you, my friend. I'm glad you got something out of it.
Awesome vid bro!
Mr Bones' Curiosity Shop with Spike and Uncle Spooky thanks, brother.
Loved it! Will definitely watch the rest. I've been using Eagle for a couple years now laying out my own boards, but I'm always curious to see other people's processes, there's always something to learn!
Thanks for watching. I'm not exactly following best practices for laying out boards. I mostly try to make them as small and inexpensive as possible.
@@HomespunEffects same here. I try to put power stuff together and all that but sometimes it is just at random! :)
Let me know if there is anything you'd do differently.
Wow, this is awesome Mark, thank you great job. Subscribed. This is something I'd support on Patreon.
Well, you're in luck! 😁 www.patreon.com/HomespunEffects
@@HomespunEffects I'm in ... lets everyone support Mark in this wonderful idea!
StealthParrot thanks so much. It means a lot. It's a lot of work to get these videos ready and it feels good that someone can use them. I feel appreciated. You're appreciated as well.
Did you go to school for electrical engineering? Love the detailed and resourceful lesson. I stumbled onto a hidden passion for guitar signal and tone chasing about 2 years ago, built first few fuzz pedals completely from scratch rather than ordering a kit bc of the simplicity of Bazz Fuss circuit. Fell in love with the craft immediately and dreamed of starting a small company using my background as a carpenter to build unique cabs and housings, and learning the electronics on my own.
Well that dream went on backburner for maybe a year until I applied and was accepted into electrical engineering at central ohio technical college a week ago. It's pretty interesting that so many folks who are much more knowledgeable than myself have learned mostly on their own from books and online resources. Was just wondering what your background was if you don't mind sharing with a greenhorn?
I took a 6 month class back in 1988 but it was for repair, no engineering or anything like that. Didn't really learn much from it and never worked in the industry. Fast forward to recent times, I joined a church band and got into tone chasing. Mostly because the amp they “bought me” was absolute trash (Fender Hot Rod Deluxe). I wanted a Klon and they were tons of loot. So I looked into building pedals and figured out Eagle and started copying schematics. That’s pretty much the history. The church band never really worked out because they were consistently testing me by giving me the songs an hour before service. I hate using charts. I asked for the songs a week in advance and they said "not gonna happen” so I started sitting out.
thanxxx!
It's my pleasure.
These are the perfect videos for a newb like me. I've searched everywhere to find something to help me get started building pedals and this is by far the best reference. Have you done a video where you trace out the schematic and explain what is going on? I'm also curious.. just off the top of your head, what do you think this project cost to build? Thanks! Looking forward to working my way through your videos.
I generally don't get into very much electronic theory. Especially since my last class was 32 years ago and I've probably forgotten as much as I every knew. 😂
I should make a quick database for these projects concerning how much they cost. Not including shipping for parts, I figure the cost of the treble booster is right around $23.
@@HomespunEffects Thank you.. definately cheaper than buying a kit :) Do you know of a resource that will trace a pedal circuit and explain what is going on? It is much easier to find info on building amps than pedals.
Electrosmash and fuzzcentral are great sites to check out.
awesome vid! did you think of running a simulation to see how the circuit behaves??
For simple and time-tested circuits like this and most home-built pedals, I don't. I will breadboard from time to time if I'm experimenting.
If were talking making changes to an amplifier power supply or tone stack, I'll simulate them.
Awesome video Sir! Downloaded Eagle, got the library from mdp but unfortunately both the link in the description as well as searching via google won't get me to the homespuneffects page... Clicking the link i will always be directed to a page telling m, that I do not have the permission to access this serve... Is there another way to get the library? Would love to go on tinkering :)
Where are you located? The server blocks some IP addresses due to hacking attempts. Unfortunately, some innocent IP get caught in the mix.

Patrick Schober try it again. I changed some settings.
@@HomespunEffects Worked perfectly, thank you very much! :)
Thanks for your help. I've got to throttle back the security settings. 😃
can you upload your eagle libraries to a server and share the link? thank you Greetings from Venezuela

Germanium transistor 2n388 is nearly impossible to get. Is there a substitute? I found one, 2N1304, but it sounds over driven with this configuration. Any ideas?
Judging from a very quick peek at the datasheet that should be a decent substitute. You could also try a NTE101 but they are about 1.6x on the Hfe.
im on mac and the homespun effects link is just downloading as a txt file. any help?
You've got to control-click the link and choose "Download linked file as..." or "Save as...", the contextual menu depends on the browser.
@@HomespunEffects thanks for replying so fast ! That’s what I did the first time but the downloaded file didn’t look the same as the files from madbean.
It’s getting late here in Scotland but I’ll be sure to try again in the morning.
Thanks again sir, your channel is great!
@@danjo7398 let me know how it works out.
@@HomespunEffects hey man! It still isn’t quite right. I’m pressing control click and then selecting “download linked file” but it’s downloading a TXT file instead of the necessary file to go into eagle.
It may just be a problem for Mac users thought buddy, I doubt it’s a problem with the way you have set things up
@@danjo7398 I tried it on my Mac and you're right. It adds a .txt file extension when downloading for some reason. I am going to have to change the content type for the web page or something.
Just take the .txt off of the end of the downloaded file for now and it should work. I'll try to figure out how to make it work as it should. Thanks for letting me know about this issue.
