- Ever wanted to build your own pedal kit but didn't know where to start, this live build along series from StewMac is the place to start. In this 4-part series (which began on August 19th, 2020) Tommy Stumpp will show you step-by-step how to build our Interval Fuzz pedal.
In Episode 2 (8/26, 2020) we'll begin soldering components to the board, talking about the circuit and how to avoid some common mistakes.
If you missed last week's episode, you can view it here: • How to Build a Pedal K...
Even if you are a complete beginner, this series will show you everything you need to know -- from unboxing, to choosing the right soldering iron, to making every connection... we'll even talk about tips on painting your pedal.
This build-a-long series has everything you need to know to build your first pedal and get a great result.

here's a good tip for when you are teaching people something. when you are explaining to people what to do, or what not to do, it is often better to give them a Reason for it, so that instead of just trying to memorize a bunch of arbitrary rules, they pick up understanding along the way. for example, when you tell people not to touch the solder to the iron's tip, but instead to touch it to the leg of the component and the eyelet, the reason is because the soldder tends to flow toward the heat, and if you feed the solder onto the soldering iron tip, the soldder is going to flow into the soldering iron and not into the eyelet. You use the soldering iron to get the eyelet hot, and the reason for that is because you want the solder to flow into the eyelet (where you are heating) and around the component leg. so it's best to use the soldering iron tip to attempt to heat the eyelet and the component leg at the same time because the heat will draw the solder into the eyelet hole and onto the component.
a damp sponge is not for tinning, a damp sponges for CLEANING. tinning is done by adding a small amount of solder to a wire , component leg, or soldering iron tip that doesn't have any/enough solder on it.
Too bad with the audio Susan. A static boom mic would do the trick especially on these static videos. The crackling is typical if you use more than one wireless mic and the frequency seperation is too narrow. Try channels further apart or turning off the ones not in use. Good luck next time ☺️
an octave is 12 semitones. it is also the 8th step (note?) in typical scales, but not every scale.
This looks like such a fun project! Thanks for going in detail and sharing your knowledge with us!!
So cool of you guys to do this!!! Thank you
The sticker/decals are nice, do the kits that have volume, gain, tone pots ect have sticker/decals for the controls knobs with names and numerical markings for the control pots?
More good soldering info.
I'm surprised when you mentioned feeding the resistors into the eyelets that you didn't queue up a version of the song "hungry eyes" during the chorus and sing the lyrics "hungry eyelets" as you put them in
@StewMac So after watching this video and the previous one I think your audio issue is an upload problem. You have dropped video frames and intermittent audio pops which indicates dropped packets on your network. You may want to check out what your upload speeds are and maybe call your provider about improving them.
Thanks for the videos, I like them.
you completely skipped showing the audience how to tell from the graphic on the circuit board which way the diode goes in. I'm not talking about its location, I'm talking about how the graphic on the circuit board shows you which way the diode has to be turned.
A look at 12:20 seems pretty clear to me.

there are literally billions of electronic devices all around the world with surface-mount chips. where nothing but the solder is holding the component to the board. as it turns out, solder is glue as well. electrically conductive glue.
"be really really careful not to get this part backwards"
...completely doesn't show you how to know whether it's going in the right way or backwards.
