Build your own pedal workshop

[floFC]

Has anybody else seen the advert below on Facebook?

This company (Anasound) are running a workshop where you build your own pedal, with some theory and people at hand to help and demonstrate how it’s done properly (soldering, testing etc.). I think it is a fantastic idea, but unfortunately in Birmingham. Does anyone know of anything similar in London? Soldering for musical equipment (pedals, but also pickups, pots, harnesses etc)?

Youtube is filled with soldering videos. Main points:

- take your time

- invest a little bit on a reasonable equipment (Weller, Metcal...)

- buy some components, like capacitors, pots (for a bigger load), and something that is easy to ruin (i.e. includes melting plastics)

- take care of the ventilation (a small blower near an open window)

- do some trials and errors to understand the behaviour of your equipment and parts

- and again, take your time

I am a bit old school when it comes to education and I like the idea of someone being there and explaining/answering questions.

But yes, I could buy some parts and experiment as you say. And take my time
