DIY Guitar Pedals

On this Build Your Own, we cover what an Op Amp Boost is and how to breadboard the circuit. At the end, we cover how to use the Stompbox Electronics Op Amp Boost board for your own boosting needs! What is an Op Amp Boost? Boost circuits are relatively simple, they take in a signal,

Breadboards are used to prototype guitar effect circuits before committing them to copper. It gives you the chance to interact with your creation and really hear the difference between one component over another. In this post, I’ll be covering 5 prototyping boards used specifically for testing out and designing guitar effects circuits. How to Use

To get more sturdiness and reliability out of a Behringer pedal, you may opt to rehouse it into a more robust enclosure. The following is a guide for rehousing a Behringer pedal, using the UV300 Ultra Vibrato as an example. Why Rehouse a Behringer Pedal? Access “Inaccessible” Tones Many Behringer pedals are based on circuits

When designing or modifying your own effects, you’ll need to mount parts like switches, potentiometers, LED bezels, power jacks, input jacks, and output jacks. This requires you, the builder, to properly size, fit, and mount the component into the enclosure. In the following sections I go over my personal process for drilling guitar pedal enclosures.
