Homebrew pedals

[Steve Evans]

For those that can wield a soldering iron, why not build you own?
From left to right we have a boss ce2 (no longer made, sounds way
better than later versions or any 'software' variant!), mxr phase 90
(again, way better than software imho) and a tube screamer :)

Hey, they are seriously cool!
Did you make them yourself?

I'd love to be able to make some as they are quite "tweakable" from what I
read on
homebrew pedal sites (probably the one you mentioned)

agghh, wish I had more time, a better iron and a multimeter!

yours look very very impressive - good job.

if ever you get bored of the mxr phase 90 - just holler ;-)

Never! I really like the way it turned out, with the red case and
cream knob ;P Plus it sounds pretty good too.

Let's just say I have the facilities and a little after hours time in
work to complete these things. Painting things at home is a bit of a
no-no as I'm currently in a flat :(

You could go for one of the easier ones to start with (tube screamer,
fuzz...), or there's a US site that does kits etc....search for 'build
your own clone'.

Lucky having the facilities at work.
I have the space, but sadly, not the time :-(

I looked at the tube screamer photo essay and it looked straight forward
enough.
I was keen but ...........
I now own an ibanez TS808..........

<sigh> one day when I have more time I'd love to build some stuff. Not just
to save on cost but just for the fun of it.

One day.....
