Barbarach BCThis is the third post about switches. I already covered some basics about switches and what true bypass is. In this post I’m covering how to wire-up 3PDT switch – the most common stomp switch used in DIY effects. As always – video first, if you want to have a closer look at the diagrams […]
In my previous post I covered some basics about switches, in the follow-up post, I’ll cover wiring up 3PDT switches. In this installment, I cover what does a true bypass means. Actually, what options do we have to wire-up our DIY effects? I cover “always on” effect … ha! Then I cover “hardwire bypass“, to […]
I did a post on how to modify circuit from using NPN to using PNP transistors, and as a bonus I added a quick note on how to do this for Fuzz Face. Now it’s time to actually do it. I’ll breadboard a Fuzz Face clone, and then I’ll swap NPN transistors with PNP transistors. […]
After spending my sweet time going through a few boosters – it’s time to make them better. Adding some sort of tone control to a guitar pedal is a great way to make it better. In this post I’ll explore some of the ways to get a useful tone stack for your build. I’ll be […]
A question recently popped up – how to go about if I wanted to use PNP in place of a NPN transistor. In theory – it should be a simple enough task. After all, the circuits should be near equivalent. “Near”, just before “equivalent” is the key term in that sentence. How do we go […]
