Atari Punk Console Guitar Effects Box

This is how to modulate your electric guitar or other electric instrument with a Atari Punk Console.

Step 1 Parts & Tools

To build an APC Guitar Effects Box you are going to need:
a Atari punk console kit (APC) you can buy one here Maker Shed
a NPN transistor
a small iPod/iPhone dock (See notes)
a DPDT (Double Poll Double Throw) switch this is your bypass switch
2 1/4" Panel-Mount TRS mono jacks for the guitar in and effect out to speaker amp
Wire
Solder
Enclosure
9V battery

Tools:
Soldering Iron
Solder Vacuum
Flush diagonal cutters
Wire strippers
Needle nose pliers
A small flat head screwdriver
A hold making device.  (If your enclosure is plastic you can use your soldering iron but this may damage the tip)

Notes:
I like to use iPod/iPhone docks because they usually have a AUX in jack that you can desolder easily and their small.  Its best if it runs on 9V.  It could be 1 9V battery or 6 1.5V batteries (6 AAA's, 6 AA's, or 6 C's).  Anything that is a power amplifier will work.
