How To Fail When Building a DIY Pedal
(and Why You Won't)
- Mistakes or confusion with off-board wiring. i.e., problems running wires to input and output jacks, to the DC power jack, and wiring up the 9-pin foot switch. We eliminate this by getting rid of all the off-board wiring. Instead you have Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) to house all these parts, with convenient ribbon cables to connect them.
- Bad solder joints. We mitigate this with a Soldering Practice Kit, free with your pedal kit, and the How To Solder book, along with a step-by-step video to help you learn to make perfect solder joints. When you're finished you'll be a champion at soldering.
- Components in the wrong place. We mitigate this by pre-sorting your components so you don't have to interpret resistor color stripes, or decode capacitor codes. With a step-by-step build guide and accompanying video to show you exactly where and how to place each component, follow along and you can't go wrong!
