    Taking Requests

    Hey guys. Here's another clip featuring Barracuda (as requested) and a stab at Flamenco guitar (although I was using an electric guitar). Please understand that all of these are quick n dirty. I'm not striving for perfection. The last song in this clip is a Name that Tune song. Guess...

    BTW- sweet child of mine riff is not easy. he uses some strange tuning and doing it in standard tuning, which is what i did, is clumsy.

    Can I stack effects

    As many of you know, i have recently built a distortion pedal. The details of that build are here: https://www.electronicspoint.com/forums/threads/a-stretch.293212/ Here is my question: Is it possible to build a delay circuit and add it to the distortion pedal. In other words, a second stage...

    I will admit tha I purposefully skipped that riff. Reason being, it is one of those riffs that you need to make it part of your routine. Not a riff that you can pick up and play well, unless you have been playing. it well.

    Taking Requests

    By request and in no particular order: Some notes: I built this pedal using AudiGuru's amended design. I did not use an amp to record this. i went straight from the pedal into my sound interface. Thus, there is no amp coloring. In terms of the playing- it's sloppy because for many of these...

    Unveiling of the pedal

    I’m not sure if you just prefer a clean sound over distortion, or if you just don’t like the sound if this particular schematic. That’s why I asked whether you had a better option in mind.

    I’ll include that, as long as I don’t have to light my guitar on fire.

    I successfully rebuilt the distortion pedal ala AudioGuru’s revised design and will post samples of how it sounds later. In the interim, I’m taking requests. Do you have a favourite rock riff you want to hear me play? Post it here and I’ll do me best.

    Unveiling of the pedal

    By the way. As I mentioned, this is just a project. I won't be using this on stage. However, what would you say is a good sounding distortion? Is there a schematic that you believe will produce a better distorted sound? If so, I'm willing to try it.

    Unveiling of the pedal

    Thanks AudioGuru. Let's see what it sounds like when I build the version you posted. I'll post a sample once I get that done.

    Unveiling of the pedal

    The reverb is a function of the Fender Hotrod Deluxe amp I put it through. My amp normally has a touch of reverb dialed in and I did not bother to turn it down when I recorded. Has nothing to do with the pedal.

    Unveiling of the pedal

    Thanks guys. As for the guitar work, it was actually pretty s;loppy as I was concentrating on not having the pedal fall off of a seat i had placed it on. I am now rebuilding the pedal, using AudioGuru's amended design.

    Unveiling of the pedal

    Finally...thanks to all your help, i have finalized my pedal build and have recorded a sample of wjhat the pedal sounds like. I have the volume down, but the gain up, and the tone control at around 1 o clock. It's not perfect, but it's good for my first attempt. The nexyt time I build this, i...

    Mistakes You Can Avoid

    Well, in the process of learning electronics, I have made a lot of mistakes. This post is intended for those who are beginners. I am still a beginner myself. I'm not offering any advice on electronics design or circuits, as I am not there yet. But reading these do's and don'ts may save you...

    Lessons Learned and When the Chips Are Down

    I'm happy to report that I used the foil method, and it worked. The stomp box is a lot quieter now and sounds good. When i get a chance, i will record it and let you all hear it. What a difference using solder paste makes. Wish I would have done that since day one. @Audioguru- I was too far...

    Do I connect the negative wire to the foil. If so, how?

    I think there is some confusion. I built that one. I just put into a wooden box. See post below
