A few months back I watched one of your older videos and decided to give building a RAT clone a shot. It took a while but I got it working after some encouragement from you, and I've been really grateful ever since. I'm now on my 10th+ build and have already sold a couple of custom painted cases. It's legitimately one of my proudest accomplishments. I've been making art for fun since I was a kid but have never actually sold my artwork to anyone, ever, and building guitar pedals has given me the medium to finally sell my art. I can't thank you enough, Jason.

@yo-tobyrush6943 Год назад

Where can I buy these art pedals?!🎉

@fullofsmell Год назад

I would also like to know if you have a site I can buy from? Congrats man!

@OutlawOfKtulu 3 месяца назад

Conversely, as somone who thought they really wanted to build pedals, I realised this is absolutely NOT my thing. Honestly though, really awesome to read that dude. Best of luck on your new boutique pedal company! People like me need people like you in the world lol

@svartsjokolade Год назад

I spent the last 8 hours building my first pedal, an acapulco gold clone. Need to figure out why I suddenly get no sound now that I placed everything in the enclosure haha! I can definitely see the appeal now, it's almost a meditative experience soldering all the tiny resistors, capacitors etc and going from a handful of small parts to a functional pedal, very rewarding. Great video!

@FuzzlordEffects Год назад

If it worked outside the box it is likely just a jack grounding against enclousre (: I do a monthly QA on Patreon if you ever want to ask some questions, thanks for watching!

@svartsjokolade Год назад

@@FuzzlordEffects Thank you for the tip! I feel like troubleshooting these is definitely part of the fun too.

@jasonbloho420 Год назад

I built the same clone as my second pedal a few days ago. The thing absolutely rips.

@Mogwai06 Год назад

Lmao it will end up becoming its own damn applied science

@Mogwai06 Год назад

It will easily end up taking as much time or most likely even more than building the pedals or playing them , at least in my experience. and I knew nothing about any of this prior. It is a blast though and sometimes I wonder if I've started to enjoy just building shit more than playing with it.

@6lord6red6 Год назад

Awesome vid! It took me 3 tries but I finally got it! Thanks FUZZLORD!

Cool build Jason my friend ✌👍

@seangarland Год назад

I've built a few pedal from kit companies (BYOC, General Guitar Gadgets, cheap Amazon kit). One piece of advice that I'd give is to have a multimeter available to properly identify each resistor. As someone who has red/green colorblindness, I found it very difficult to discern the different color markings on the resistors. The brown and black, red and orange, and blue and purple can be difficult to tell the difference, but if you use your multimeter (helps to have the alligator clips), you can accurately measure their resistance.

@FuzzlordEffects Год назад

Great advice!!

@jasonbloho420 Год назад

Oh dude how I wish you put this video a month ago when I first started building pedals! Your videos have been a huge inspiration for me

cheers Jason hop eit is still helpful!

Thanks for the tips on how to breaking the strip board more cleanly and also using a drill bit to break the paths. I always have trouble on cutting and breaking these boards.

it was news to me haha! Glad it helped (:

@filthywitch Год назад

I probably won't be building a pedal anytime soon, but I love how-to videos! This was super interesting

@FuzzlordEffects Год назад

Glad it was fun to watch! I don’t build cars but watch RU-vid hot rod videos all the time 🖤

@rockylilies5851 Год назад

Informative and interesting video. Been kicking around the idea of pedal making myself. This is inspiring to say the least. Off subject Jason, just got a Rickenbacher 4003 ran it into your Fuzzlord Drone Master into Electro Harmonix Q-tron into My late '90s Trace Elliot. The swampy goo seeping out the cab was awesome. Keep up the great videos and stellar effects! Cheers bro!

@carlosjuanrosello 11 месяцев назад

This is a great video and the fuzz sounds killer. Great job. I’m new to this. Is there anywhere online I can find directions for installing a potentiometer switch and jacks. That’s where I’m having the most trouble. The board was fun to make. The other wiring is tripping me up.

@basicallyhuman3883 Год назад

Great video! Where did you get your large potentiometer knob cover?

@wilhelmbehr6255 8 месяцев назад

Can I get a picture of the backside? I just connected everything but know I want to finish the soldering.

@casvaldeikun7326 Год назад

I'm saving all the resistors from my circuits lab for this very reason!

Check out the Johnny cash song one piece at a time haha. Did the same at school 😃

@rk28984 Год назад

Great video! I built some tagboard pedals and it's easier than you think. The Tagboard FX homepage is a great source if you are into DIY pedals. I prefer potentiometers that are soldered directly on the PCB or tagbourd as it makes everything nice and tidy inside the pedal. If you want some great sounding and very easy to build DIY pedals, God City Instruments do cool PCBs. I just guilt a Brutalist Jr and a Hannibal and they sound awesome!

@FuzzlordEffects Год назад

Thank you! The Tagboard page is so great and a wonderful resource for DIY folks. I might have to check out one of those kits for myself! I am planning on offering a kit with a build video in the future as well! Cheers!

@rk28984 Год назад

@@FuzzlordEffects That would be awesome, and please make sure these kits are also sold on Musikding in Germany! Because shipping to the EU is prettyx expansive. ;)

@angrypunk666 Год назад

This was fantastic! Thanks so much for doing this! If one wanted to replace the footswitch in a kit with a soft switch, what are some things to keep in mind when replacing that part? Great content! Cheers!

@FuzzlordEffects Год назад

The soft switching requires another mini sub circuit that would have to be added on. Maybe I’ll have to design an add on kit for this (:

@Mogwai06 Год назад

Is that like the JFET switching or boss type set up you'd see a lot? I can never remember what that's called? Id always wondered this about those switches some pedals have that you can operate like typical footswitch he's or hold them for momentary operation of certain things. I've not used one yet in any pedals but there's a bunch with that switch in them. Wasn't sure if that would entail extra circuitry that you'd not normally have to include, aside from what the momentary action is driven by, for example like making your delay go apesh*t while it's held down, into crazy oscillations.

@DeaconBlues1977 Год назад

Why do you do trace cuts for the cables? I am confused

@AshenHollow7 Год назад

😂😂😂 poor Brett, so excited to get those pedals built and we sat there at my dining room all night, now look how far he's come in such a short time.

Where can I purchase the tagboard?

@danielnourry1414 Год назад

Hi Jason, thanks so much for this. Do you advise that an absolute beginner do some kind of basic electronics/electrical course? I've always tended towards literature and so the sciences is a new interest.

@TinkerToneworks Год назад

Having some basic soldering experience and even better, experience wiring guitars. The process is a lot of troubleshooting, so don't be discouraged

@ethanpunto9222 7 месяцев назад

Search beginner electronics on RU-vid and there's someone with a pretty good playlist, I forget the channel name but it'll be right there immediately. Has some good content for the basics

Where do people get the tagboard? Google is failing me.. A list of websites for these parts would be wonderful. Or a list of the parts for this build and where to buy them. Thank you

Often also called vero board. Tayda electronics is one place but there are many out there (:

@reimo2336 4 месяца назад

Yo ,is it possible to burn a amplifier when you will connect something wrong in effect?or something will be wrong with power supply like input of DC ?

@2007bmpgti 14 дней назад

Yes. You're messing with electricity, there's always a risk to mess something up bad enough to fry anything. Hooking your output up to a 120v rail would probably be bad, yeah?

@cyberpunk409 10 месяцев назад

20:30 Talking about ground loops... I find you don't need to connect one of the jacks to ground, the metal pedal enclosure itself will do this and avoid a loop, otherwise you WILL have a loop. Perhaps different if the pedal enclosure is painted and thus not conductive
