Guitar Pedal

This is for generic pedal builds

Step 1: Collect Materials

Tools:

soldering iron

wire cutters

seat sink

helping hands

Materials:

hammond 1590bb enclosure

PCB, pegboard, tagboard, or stripboard (whatever fits with your build)

components of your build

solid 26ga wire

mounting hardware for your circuit

solder flux

solder

Step 2: Assemble Your Circuit

Prime your connections with solder flux. Solder your components to their appropriate positions.

Step 3: Prepare Your Enclosure

Drill holes for your switch, input and output jacks, led, pots etc. Add the components to their respective pre-drilled holes. add wires to the lugs of those components. I recommend color coding your power and in/output connections.

Step 4: Hooking Up Your Build

hook up your wires to their respective circuit connections. Sign or tape a business card to the lid of your enclosure.

Step 5: Finishing

Screw the back onto your enclosure, hook it up to your rig, and play away!

Let me see if I have this correct. Your project is merely how to install your own guitar pedal circuit into a box? Is that correct? Because I didn't see any schematic diagram for the circuit otherwise.

Precisely, bud. Why would I leak a perfectly good circuit?
