Prerequisites

Printed Copy PDF Booklet Video: How to Solder

Before understanding how this circuit works, you need to learn the basics of electricity.

Follow this great tutorial on SparkFun that covers Voltage, Current, and Resistance. If you're in a hurry, you can stop when you get to the section on "Ohm's Law."

IMPORTANT

If you want to learn how guitar pedals work, it's important to first grasp those fundamentals. Without a good understanding of voltage, current, and resistance you won't get as much out of the rest of this book.
