Guitar Effects Pedal Builds
I built my first guitar pedal around 2014. It was a Klon Centaur knock-off from China, and it sort of worked but I couldn’t get it to distort, however it did make an excellent boost pedal*. I had more success with a couple more but it was one brilliant Tone Bender clone (a basic tagboard kit and how-to-guide purchased for a 20 quid on eBay) that brought home to me that it was possible to build almost exact replicas of some of the most iconic guitar effects pedals from the 60’s and 70’s and at a fraction of the cost of buying them second-hand. For my birthday my wife bought me a copy of US pedal designer Brian Wampler’s classic (and now stupidly expensive) paperback book ‘How To Modify Guitar Pedals’, following the guides I began tweaking a few of my own Boss pedals and on the way I got to understand a little more how these bad-boys actually work!
It was during the Covid lock-downs of 2020/21 that the obsession really took hold. Initially I bought a few complete complete kits, but then, because it was more interesting (okay and quite a bit cheaper!) I began to source all the components and enclosures
on-line, learning - the hard way - not to risk buying dud IC’s from dodgy eBay sellers!
For me a big part of this is designing and decorating the enclosures. I use inkjet printed waterslides, overhead projection acetates and adhesive vinyl.
So this gallery showcases a selection of the pedals that I've built and boxed, for myself and for others. I have worrying number of completed PCBs waiting to be suited and booted and I may get around to them one day but the boards are still fun to play via the pedal tester. The PCBs are mainly from three small, brilliant and generously helpful UK companies, I highly recommend them - 

Fuzzdog (FD Jeds Peds (JP) and Five Cats (FC)
Components and enclosures were sourced from the above or from BitsBox, Gapco, and various other on-line sellers.
* I recently popped open the Chinese Klon and refreshed a few solder joints and the diodes now clip as they should
and it sounds great!
All enclosure designs are mine.
I'm not sponsored by any of the companies named.
