LukeFRC Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hello - have you all gone into the DIY effects thread pinned at the top of this forum, you should! So making DIY effects is great fun, I did it for a while when I used more effects, great fun- lots of support on various forums and you get to make cool things that make noises. So I saw someone selling on a Facebook sales page a "custom hand built" effect, some kinda boost - and a copy of a schematic that's all over the web. Nicely built, they spent a bit of time making it neat - but on perf board rather than making a PCB- but that's fine there's only 7 components on the board. Nice looking thing, bit of a big enclosure for what's in it but hey ho - someones made something.... Cool. Then saw the price... £95 secondhand.... theres a fella selling them new for £130-140.... for a home built pedal, on perf board.... based on a readily available circuit diagram..... madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 But if you don't build your own stuff and know little about electronics (which I'm told is true....but I don't believe it ) then I suppose it looks like magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
