fyodor posted:So 1 to 10 how stupid music poo poo is it if I have zero electrical engineering experience and I want to build a Klon Centaur clone kit/diy project like this one: https://aionelectronics.com/project/refractor-centaur-overdrive/ Already answered but I think this is worth posting anyway. If you want a Klon, get a Soul Food (or J Rockett Archer, etc). If you want a cheap pedal, you'll rarely be able to build one for much cheaper than you could buy a mass produced clone. If you want to build a kit, get one that includes everything you need, including a drilled enclosure. At least for your first project. But assuming you don't overreach it's pretty simple once you get the basics of soldering down.

That said, the projects I've been looking at come with drilling templates, so it doesn't look hard as far as that goes. I live near a really great electronics supply store so running down the parts shouldn't be hard (plus online resources, of course). The PCB route looks crowded so perhaps a more rudimentary means.

I tried my best to get into pedal building but got discouraged and gave up like a chump. The thing is I'd really like to do it and turn it into a business of some sort. I guess it takes effort though eh? My issue was that I never found a good book or guide that I liked. Only a handful of blogs that seemed disorganized. If I had a book about electronics soldering that was comprehensive but simple and clear I doubt I would have any issues.

Are there any other especially good all-in-one diy pedal kit dealers? I have a simple od kit to practice on now, but I have a lot of soldering experience so I'm feeling good about it and already looking to the next one. The more hosed up noisy doomy dark the better.

I only suggested pre-drilled enclosures since unless you already have the tools it's a fairly big and unnecessary expense to buy them. Another thing to watch out for if you're getting a bare PCB is to make sure beforehand that you can actually source all the parts you're going to need. A lot of older pedals used weird components or pots with non-standard values that aren't going to be available at you're local electronics store.

I think part of the appeal (lol that's probably loving naive) is in researching and tracking down the individual components. I am probably going to take my time with each detail since nobody is paying me to do this and I can research transistors, ICs, etc. to find my own sort of customized thing. According to Bill Finnegan, he claims a pretty standard, although widely varying in properties, transistor is used in the Centaur while testing by nerds and builders seems to suggest it's a different transistor. It's sort of like how there's several different muff circuits but there are variations even within a ram's head or creamy dreamer or whatever. I'm fine with not being exact and I want to enjoy sourcing whacky stuff to try out. Then again, maybe I'll save that for not my first project.

Well, that's like your opinion man. He does HM2 variations, Muff variations, Matamp preamp, Dumble preamp, a Rangemaster thing, SLO100 preamp, Roland Bee Baa, a Harmonic Percolator thing, plus delays and verbs and stuff. Then he makes pedals that are combinations of two pedals that is cheaper than the 2 separately. I don't think he makes a Model T preamp yet, though. Anyhow, that's quite a bit of variation in dirt, which is what he's selling.

You need a few things: a decent iron, the right tip, the right solder, and the patience to practice on some junk before you tackle your first real project. Last note on soldering: the best solder joint is the first one. Re-melting and trying to fix bad solder joints is a bad practice for technical reasons that are boring.

'Suck' 'Heave' Funnily enough all the knobs on the re-releases seem to be labelled much more normally. eSportseXpert fucked around with this message at 11:07 on Feb 8, 2017 |

Peavey triple XXX has HAIR, BODY and BOTTOM instead of treble, mid and bass. The Kustom 100w Solid State amps have the distort channel gain knob labeled BALLS and an extra boost button labeled BIGGER BALLS.

it imposes me to be pissed off when im schlupping it between gigs I Y-chained the two stacks on the right together once, it was pretty ballsy w./ Les Paul or Telecaster. Those are Spectrums, 60 watt club amps that I imagine were designed for your four piece mod rock band circa '65. Loud enough for bass or guitar, but I think guitar is better through them, I play my Telecaster through the one on the far right. They both have their tonal quirks though they are the same model. The Solarus on top of the 200s is my favorite but not for your typical Sunn O))) reasons. It has vibrato and reverb but it also is a time machine to 1968. It just has the best jangly cleans, with a smidgen of overdrive. Just plugging straight in you can nail the tone of George Harrison on Abbey Road. It also has a footswitch so I"ve gigged with that no pedals. 20 Blunts fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Feb 8, 2017 |

Everyone knows that nice stuff doesn't make you good, I'd go so far to say that most folks that see someone with something awesome assume they can't use it until proven otherwise. At least that's what I do because I'm a jealous rear end in a top hat that wants nice things too

I don't even consider it jealousy. There are really expensive guitars by Martin/Taylor that I legit am jealous of. Everything on that imgur page is tasteless and tacky to me. I wouldn't pay for any of them unless I was convinced I could turn around and offload it to some sap for more money. It is like new money who make EVERYTHING in their house look like it was spray painted with gold.

Not as much about tone since it would be very hard to hear in practice but it can be useful when detecting and temporarily fixing dead spots in the instrument. It is the absolutely most hilariously guitarist question though.

I have this heavy like, brass plate in the shape of a stratocaster headstock. It has six holes and fastens down via the tuners to either the front or back of the headstock, I cant recall, apparently to improve sustain. Never have had a Stratocaster to try it on.
