New Circuit Design Series in the Test Kitchen!

Calling all aspiring circuit designers, breadboarders, tinkerers, mad scientists, and others who may be curious!

@Chuck D. Bones and I are working together to bring you little circuit snippets in the Test Kitchen to help anyone who is curious about circuit design, but may not know where to start.

The goal of this is to give you guys different circuit blocks (Legos if you will) that you can put on a breadboard and experiment til your heart's content. We're talking boosters, clippers, tone controls, opamps, BJTs, JFETs, MOSFETs, diodes, and more. Once you guys understand and can read the circuit blocks on a schematic you'll quickly realize how many pedals out there are just different circuit blocks linked together.

Now, back to @fig and @PedalPCB contests.

Edit: You can find this new series in the brand new "Resources" tab at the top of your screen. Or if you're on a phone you can find it in the side bar menu labelled "Resources"

This blew me away when I finally started seeing the patterns, such a huge deal. It also makes designing a lot easier when you start to understand how the blocks work with each other, and you can pick and choose the blocks you like of different pedals and combine them to create something special. Looking forward to it :)

Coolio.

I put together (in DIYLC) a Red Rooster > Musket Saturation Control > Sziklai-Darlington Elka Dizzy-tone > Jen noise-gate > Ibanez OD850 v1 Tone & Recovery...
Now that I've got my old computer's HD back, I can finally start breadboarding it after a near 2-year hiatus.

Share a schematic if you can
