guitar effects pedal circuits are only involved?
I'm trying to research if I can make my own guitar effects (clones) as factory.I fuzz was wondering do all guitar effects just use circuits? If so I can only do a course in circuits, (although I already know a little about them) to get more experience with them and start making my own purposes? If yes again could be possible to make an effect (or take it out of If a commercial bill) and put it on my guitar?
Guitar effects are based on circuits of some kind. It's a good idea to start by cloning purposes when starting the road of homebrewing your own pedals ... That way you have an idea of what you want, and you know more or less what you to achieve, and how to get there. Distortion specifically are a great place to start - the Screamer, for example, has only about a dozen components, not counting the power supply, chassis, sockets, switches, knobs, etc., of course. Many of distortion pedals are the most popular relatively simple circuits with relatively low component count, ie, Big Muff, Fuzz Face, etc. You can do a course in circuits, certainly, but I must warn you that knowledge will not be 100% applicable. Electronic audio seems to be something of a specialty in its own right, and once you're talking about the effects that end up in situations where you may want to intentionally break the rules ... for example, good engineering practice would suggest a value of capacitor derivation (see first link), but that does not take into account the role they play in terms of filtering capacitors signal ... There are times when you want a small cap that can be considered normal, and there are times when a higher CAP can be justified. In addition, some engineering practices can work in reverse the point of intention of a circuit ... For example, I found a document that describes how to create a pre-amp JFET to a radio circuit. While he showed both a project with the source resistor both outdated and not ignored by a cap, he mentioned that although you lose some weight, it may be best not to ignore the resistor * (ie, leave the cover off), since it can introduce noise or wheezing in the circuit. In practice, this is not a problem with the guitar pedals (at least not the same way), distortion pedals, especially where, in general, you will want * more gain. (sorry, I was not very technical) I recommend strongly that reached up to the local DIY and forums, and spend much time reading and asking questions. Many DIY sites create reports, scanned PCB's, schematics, layouts STRIPBOARD summer, and some even offer kits and components to complete the sale. You can put some effects directly on your guitar, yes, but because there much space in the cavity of the guitar, is not commonly done, except with pre-amplifier and / or EQ circuits. Remember, you have to fit a battery there also ... By the way, a pre-amplifier is the first major project to get connected. I would suggest a buffer ... It's simple, very few pieces, and if you used to the whole idea. It's kind've a subtle effect, but when you place an onboard he can make a big difference in your tone. A third and fourth links below talk about buffers. The idea is that there are guitar pickups has a high output impedance. This is not good - impedances high are more likely to suffer from signal loss (loss of treble, especially) and noise. A high impedance buffer that converts the low impedance output ... which means that cables and pedals some longer suck your Tone! A great mod, especially if you do not like to spend much money on expensive cables and / or running cables long. Included a series of links, the latter are some great sites, some with associated stores, where you can order the kits or pieces very easily. Most forums also have subscribers, as well as the places where you can learn a ton! I suggest starting with JFET-based circuits ... They are simple, inexpensive, quite normal, and can sound very good. Runoffgroove has a number of projects * very * nice to use this component, the link below Fetzer valve has a lot of information a good design, for example. boogey Google "dr" for a large table boogie "straight" clone of the pedal, or any variations of Shaka pedal circuits with MOSFET. Create delay, modulation, etc. type pedals is not easy ... work up to those. If you want to go in this direction, consider the Epiphone Valve Jr. It a tube amp cheaper (available as a head or combo) that is a great platform for modification and adjustments ... a good start to familiarize by building their own amps. Alternatively, google "round robin Matsumins valve and see if you can find on page 63 (!!!) on topic diystompboxes.com. It's all about using tubes operate at low voltages of overdrive / distortion pedals. Really cool stuff, which is where I am driving for now ... Good luck! Saul
