How To Build Your First Guitar Pedal!

[jjjimi84]

This is the first part of the video series, How to Build Your First Guitar Pedal. Next week I walk through drilling and wiring and hopefully sounds and then the following week will be the end painting that was chosen by the winner of the poll.

Let me know if you think I left anything out, I tried to make it as hand holdy as I could while still being informative and maybe even enjoyable to veteran builders.

"The transistor has to be straight.... it's a thing to all of us pedal weirdos, right..."

Yep.
Great with the tow camera angles, what a great resource, top stuff Dan.

Very well-produced Dan. This will prove an immense help to new builders, and anyone looking to sharpen their craft.

I was wondering if that happens in part two? Transistor twerking?

I put the soldering iron between my tits to do all of the wiring.

That milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

I learned a new trick! THANKS jjjimi84!

I've tried various ways of soldering-and-clipping leads. Lately, I start at 6 O'Clock on the outer edge of the board and go around the clock a few leads in, then clip. Repeat process 'til I reach the core of the PCB.

I'm going to try your solder half-ass...emble full-clip, solder the other half-assembly method...

Looking forward to your next installment.
