Build your own guitar effects Part I circuit boards -- how to

http://www.fillmorepedal.com This video tutorial will tell you how to make your own circuit boards for guitar effects. There are hundreds of great gadgets out there and a lot of the good ones don't come in a ready-to-build kit So I teach you how to make your own circuit board. This method uses acids that etch copper so follow the safety instructions. In this lesson I etch the circuit board for the Ampeg Scrambler. Then I go on to Part II and actually build the project using this circuit board made here in Part I. Finally, I have 2 audio Demos of playing the Ampeg Scrambler effect a wild, wooly and crazy giutar effects pedal from 1969

The Soundtrack is an original copyrighted work written and performed by me entitled "Holy Grail Blues Image". I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

If you want to continue one to Part II which covers assembling the circuit board it is here

and Part III which is where to buy parts and how to find the plans for building your own effects is here

You can find some nice PCB layouts at www.tonepad.com by the way.

that guitar solo was so fucking anoying and shity made my boner from the awsem instruction on how to build a distortion pedal go away

[wnorcott]

@alinealows Well just bend over and suck your own dick, then you will get a nice chubby again. Thanks for listening.

Burnt the transparency and blended the toner together :(

[wnorcott]

@JohnFritzler Set the iron on MEDIUM heat James haha. And keep the iron moving all the time. Don't give up it takes practice

[TheBlackbox34]

what is the song called ?

[wnorcott]

@TheBlackbox34 The song is called "Holy Grail Blues Image" by yours truly, Bill Norcott and performed by me (playing all the guitars and bass) using guitar effects built by me. I hope you like it! Thanks for listening.

this is great !!

and your pedals rock!

cheers!!

@bombthesystemsnl no just get em printed at office depot for cheap. Hell of a lot cheaper than buying a laser printer.

[JohnFritzler]

@wnorcott Thanks man! Second attempt worked well.

[bombthesystemsnl]

ok thanks...i must buy a laser printer!!

[wnorcott]

@bombthesystemsnl Yes YOU MUST USE A LASER PRINTER for this to work. An inkjet printer is no good for this. A laser printer uses "plastic toner" not ink and that is what makes it stick to the transparency. You have to turn down the heat on the iron to about 3/4 so the transparency does not burn. I have built many circuit boards with this method but it takes a bit of practice.
