Dude-thanks for teaching people how to catch their own fish.
Any time!
I'm only a few months into pedal building and I've never heard a more reassuring phrase than "This is the part of the build where things start disappearing." It feels like at some point your parts and tools just sprout legs and toddle off and it's nice to know it's not just me.
Love the last name, I'm Brian Heaney
Worry not. Happens to all of us. LOL.
Sometimes mine just falls into oblivion.
Haven't gotten into pedal building, but I have assembled things before with small parts and one tip is to use small containers to categorise and keep things in. That way, when those small containers sprout lets and go walk-abouts, at least you'll have the peace of mind that the little pieces aren't alone.
@@C33Fernandez Smart. The buddy system is a classic for a reason.
You’re the Bob Ross of pedal builders. "Change the transistors, it's your world"
😄👍
Look at all the happy little components!
Bob Ross of fuzz... who made a video about the Ross Fuzz... which made my head bob along to that song he played... coincidence?
As someone who's just started building kits I love this
Yeah, I hate it too
As someone who has built kits I love this
Thank you Josh for the free pedal! Chose the 3-Series Fuzz, of course. Watching you solder was really helpful...I see what I've been doing wrong. Thanks!!!! Great content... more please!
I think when that tool is in use, it should be called Carol Cam.
The Carol Clamp!@@davidpekarsky2977
we actually learned in electronic school you shouldnt bend the legs underneath on the solder side because if you need to chage something its pain in the ass and the solder doesnt flow as parallel
Equipment suggestion: You could use an Ipad (or non apple equivalent) to take a photo of the small component in front of you so you would instanly have a 10" picture of it you could point at various parts with human sized fingers. You could then just put the ipad out of shot and come back to it later if you think of another point or have another tiny component.
Or a dedicated Tiny Objects camera with a Tiny Table and Wee Pointy Stick
You are the Bob Ross of pedal building. Today we're gonna build a happy little fuzz...
Using a multimeter to test the resistors is essential for those of us with red/green colorblindness. It can be really difficult to discern the different colors of the bands.
I have a little fixture made for this exact purpose. It's basically a bit of PCB with 2 copper lands with banana plug leads soldered to them so as I go I can just touch a resistor off the pads, get a reading and carry on. Much handier than dealing with probes.
Good Lord this! They print tiny little numbers on other components, why can't they just put numbers on resistors?
I had to walk away from the live stream for a few minutes so it didn't let me vote on the poll.
My answer is YES. Please keep doing this series.
I build electronics professionally, but I've only made one pedal from a kit. This is super cool!
Just in time, I'm meeting a builder tomorrow to do my first build , a fuzz face circuit from scratch. This video is the perfect prep!
Josh is truly a gift to humanity! His desire to share his passions and his humble nature make it easy and enjoyable to watch. Guess that makes me a nerd! 🤓
Love the 80's opening, solid!
This is the best reality show that I've ever watched.
Organic & Natural.
That is a good band name too.
Your wife and Belle play a huge role in this episode. At last, we believe that you're a human.
It's funny... I was hearing him read off the color codes for the resistors and saying to myself "that's not right, doesn't make any sense." Then I realized he was reading them backwards! 😂
I absolutely loved this episode!! Not only was it great to watch you build a pedal but it was really great to see you work through any of the minor hiccups you ran into and watch you troubleshoot them. Thank you soooo much!! Can't wait to see the next episode!!!
Love this new series, please keep doing them!!!!!
Loved everything about this right down to the name of the series! Please do more!
Thank you for doing this video! I hope this series continues.
Very cool! Thanks so much for having us along!
The theme song and logo is outstanding!
Spectacular episode Josh!! I really enjoy this NERD-RAMA format of your shows. Looking forward to many more to come. Thanks!!!
I've built 3 Stew Mac kits and have 3 more to build. Absolutely a blast to build. Thank you for this video.
Could be my favourite video thus far - I've been watching a couple of years now, it's definitely a favourite anyway. More please Josh, this was fascinating and really encouraging.
Definitely keep this series going!! Really looking forward to the breadboarding video of this circuit!!
This is great. I don't usually watch videos this long and it took a couple of sessions, but this is great. I hope you keep doing this Josh!
Please keep this series going! I learned so much!!! Thank you Josh you are the GOAT!
Loving this new show. Nerding out like crazy. Looking forward to more videos like this 😍😍🤩🤩
Please make a thousand of these ones!!! I loved it and learned so much!!!
Firstly, I love this content so I'm glad you're doing this.
Secondly those instructions from Stu Mac are so visually easy to read, use and are super informative. Congratulations to their team for that.
this was awesome to watch - thanks so much Josh!
I've been breadboarding fuzzes all week so this is just lovely! I'd love to know more about substituting components, and identifying the different stages of a schematic! Thanks for the tone wisdom
Cannot wait for the breadboard episode! Thats where I'm stuck, somewhere between schematic and breadboarding.
Also, talking to one self while creating is essential! Thanks, Josh! 👾
Hi Julian! You aren´t from Sweden huh? The surname Holm is very common here in Sweden anyway...
Would you like to tell more precise where you are stuck, with what? Is the breadboarding where it takes stop for you? When you are trying to take a schematic and put a circuit on the breadboard? Is it something specific that you have been trying to do but haven´t been able to overcome? Some circuit you cant get working?
I wouldn´t mind to try to help you overcome the obstacles so you can keep on advancing to your next level with electronics. Getting stuck is so un-fun and bad for creativity so i would be glad to help you with your journey. I´m no electrical engineer but i have made the journey myself with building kits - building from stripboard/vero layouts - building from schematics - making my own schematics and circuits - designing and making my own PCB´s for pedals/synthesizer circuits. I feel like this hobby is the best thing thats ever happen to me, it has been so extremely fun. Everything about it. To learn, create, advance, trying, failing, troubleshooting, getting ideas on the bus i have to draw a sketch of immidiately and try as soon as i come home. It is so rewarding and healthy for the mind and soul. Challenging and interesting.
Electronics is not easy. You WILL get stuck. What i like about it though is that you physically can track down and find the faults. It doesn´t give you a error-code like a computer "FaultErrorUpdate404.exe is computing process corruption, bios delete C:. Erase the Cat. Press Try Again!.
If you get how i mean. If you have a short circuit for example, there will be a physical short somewhere on the 10x10cm board that you will be able to find, sooner or later. In the beginning there is a lot of headscratching when troubleshooting but the more you do it the better will you be at troubleshooting. You will be a lot faster and it will be a lot easier when you have methodical ways and a better overall understanding of circuits so you know where to look when a certain fault is showing its ugly face. As a beginner you have to just be persistent sometimes, find A way. Maybe not the best or fastest way but atleast you now have a way that you know will work for sure, get you to your goal.
It´s a lot easier if you have someone to bounce your ideas off of and talk to when getting stuck, we learn a lot by putting word to our thoughts.
So if you want someone to talk electronics with back and forth and maybe share our current projects and learn from each other you´re more than welcome to send me a e-mail or text me att fb or something. You can find my mailaddress and my name here on my youtube page. I´m curious where you are stuck :-).
If anyone else reads this and wants to talk electronics, feel free to reach out!
Nothing you've ever done has got me more excited than when you announced doing this. I absolutely love this kind of content and I can't wait to see more. I'm a beginner guitar pedal builder with a few pedals built so far and many more in the works.
definitely love this series! keep them coming!
OUTSTANDING!! This gives me confidence in building my own pedals, thanks!
This is great dude. Thank you so much for sharing this. I cannot believe the amount of information there is for people that are really into gear. This is fantastic.
Thank you so much for this series! Exactly what I need.
This was awesome. Thank You. For such a long time I have been going back and forth (contemplating) on trying my hand at kit pedals or kit amps. I really hope this becomes a series and goes into deep dives on component selection, easy modifications for swapping components, etc. Thank you for the content!
I just got to tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time (as busy as you must be running your company) to educate the masses about this interesting and very rewarding hobby. You my friend are a true believer and King of pedal lore!
That was fun! Please continue the series.
Thank you for providing this demo video, Josh. I appreciate you taking the time to explain and show how different transistors effect the sound. Very interesting and informative.
Josh, thanks for doing this. I am excited to start building pedals and you are an inspiration. I love the content you put up. Your whole team is great.
Josh, i LOVE this concept!
Real content warts and all, honesty & sincerity are wonderful traits 🙏
Josh, thank you for doing this. For some reason I haven't been motivated to play. This video has given me some ideas and that gives me motivation. So thank you for reigniting my motivation!
I say, keep this format going!!
I absolutely loved this! Thank you Josh! I'm ordering a kit today.
This is wonderful! I've been thinking about building/modding some pedals, and this has pushed me to do so. Thank you!
This is amazing! I’ve been hoping this would happen for a while and it was super educational ✌️
Came for the Barney songs, stayed for the pedal build. This was beautiful therapy I didn't know I needed. Thank You Josh. 🥰🥰
So much appreciate this series. This is something I've been wanting to do and not really sure where to start, so im really looking forward to the breadboard episode. I totally get your personality, I'm very much the same. I am so glad i watched this! 😃👍
Wow! This is SO helpful! Even after having built around 25 pedals, I still learned things watching Josh!
More, please!
I’m only a couple kit builds into the craft and I’ve been sitting on fuzz face components. I really want this project to turn out well and this video helped me feel ready to tackle this one. Thanks guys
This is amazing!! Great idea!! Looking forward to seeing more, unfortunately I couldn’t watch it live, but really enjoying it!!
Kudos to you and Brian, Josh! Knowledge dissemination is what it's all about. 👊
Thanks for your humility! It's honestly great seeing you do this in real time and make a mistake. Very relatable and validating for me as I create plenty of mistakes too
Please continue this series! Looking forward to the breadboard show
One of the coolest videos you've ever put out, no joke. I've never built a pedal (just a collector), but I think I just might try it now!
I bought this kit a couple of months ago and it's been sitting on my dresser because I've been a little intimidated to jump into it. So excited to build this along with you
I really appreciate you making this video, Josh. As someone interested in learning how to create my own DIY pedals this has been a great resource. It helps a lot to see how different people approach their workflow and this makes the idea of creating my own pedals much less intimidating. I hope you will consider making more of these kinds of videos, I really learned a lot and enjoyed it. It's incredibly helpful to see a tutorial from an industry professional such as yourself.
Great timing for me on this video. I hope you do more of these and often. I'd love to continue learning about components.
Thanks. I had a good time geeking out with you. Please keep doing these vids.
Possibly my favourite episode so far and I've been watching for almost five years! 😃
THIS IS SO AWESOME i can't wait to learn more. How the different transistors made such a huge difference was so cool, I am impressed. I was looking for this kind of introduction to building pedals, so neat
I hope more content like this keeps coming JHS awesome job
Ive been building for years and already see 5 things Im going to change in my process. Im gonna love this series.
Thanks, Josh!!! I had already built the same pedal. Wish I'd put in the transistor adaptors as you did to play around. Loved it!
Very educational Josh, keep on doing these types of videos please. Loved it.
Absolute love this and very stoked for this series!
YES!!! This is what ive been waiting for! I need that schematic, to breadboard, to build, all back to back so it all makes perfect sense. Unfortunately college isn't showing it like that currently, and it's all a mess when starting out. So many holes in the knowledge. Thank you Josh! Please continue.
Blown away. Love it, mistakes and all. Best way to learn. Totally going to do this.
Josh thanks for doing this. It is important to show both being careful to follow directions but you also had the chance to demo troubleshooting.
Wow! Josh, This is a really cool thing you've done here. Thank you.
received it yesterday... finished build today. Nice tone. Got a nice fuzzy look coming up for it
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've wanted to get into pedal building and watching your channel has inspired me to do it. I want to learn everything possible.
Josh I definitely loved this episode. Definitely keep on with this.
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you and your 3 series fuzz IS my FAVORITE fuzz for soooo many reasons!
Great video Josh. It's great to see a well explained and outlined instructional video. Old school electronics engineering - keeping it alive!
Josh you have literally impacted my life today, I watched from beginning to end. Yes, I took a 3 hour nap with my wife halfway through because it really is ASMR. But I finished it and I was SO EXCITED to hear how quickly you could change the sound of the fuzz, and once I saw you go through the bin of capacitors and continium transfunctioners I lost my marbles. I knew I was going down a beautiful, colorful, spiky, rabbit hole filled with unsoldered resistors and transistors and insistors and desistors and prosisters covered in germanium gelatin. I have a small shopping cart on amazon with a work mat, a soldering iron (a decent one) and some solder and remover wick. I just wanna find a cool pedal and build my first one. It also got me curious about modifying my pickups, and then I saw a video of another guy making a pedal with 12 oscillating capacitors on it to help change the tone of the guitar pickups. Alice, I will find you in Pedal Wonderland!!!!
Oh yes! Thanks man, I bought a fuzz face clone kit for Christmas and not even taken it out of the bag yet due to time constraints. Now I'm inspired again
That was very cool to watch, love that kind of electronics! Can't wait to see the breadboard episode.
It took me three sittings to complete watching this video, but well worth it. Excellent job!
Thanks Josh, this was awesome and I can't wait for the next
learning so much from this video. i dont have any electrical engineering background our anything but i was glued to my screen. that socket thing with the transistors blew my mind.
That was awesome, really excited for part 2
I just mean, Ohhhh Wow!!! The stuff you could do with a simple humble well produced video like this little gem of content I just watched!
Thanks Josh this is super helpful and I hope you do more. Pedal ASMR!
Love this type of stuff. Please keep it going! Thanks!
This couldn't be more perfectly timed
I recently ordered a book on electronic circuitry so I could start learning how to modify or even build pedals thanks to the inspiration you, this channel, and your amazing team have given me
What book did you order? Would love to dig in as well
Thank you Josh, loved this
This is great! Pretty stoked to ride along and learn!
Top job Josh. That's real life right there, own your mistakes and see it through to the end. Looking forward to the breadboard as I inherited a bag of fuzz face components in a box of bits that came with a fender body that I used to build a strat. There was also a 80's OD1 in bits that I managed to put together. Keep up the great work! Happily own an Angry-Driver pedal 👌 Cheers Adam
Just stumbled into this video; not sure how I missed it when it was first posted, but IT’S FASCINATING! I’m a civil engineer, so I’d say I’m fairly intuitive and mechanical, but electronics have always intimidated me. When I initially saw the parts for this build, I thought, yep, no way I could do that. But Josh has such an awesome way of explaining everything, and then to be able to actually watch him doing it, is just so cool! Now I want to build a pedal! Seriously.
On a related note, I have the Notaklon solderless pedal on pre-order and was a bit concerned about whether I could put it together. Not anymore. Thanks Josh, you are an awesome teacher!
Time to fire up the soldering iron and start building again. Thank you for this, I hit a low spot and stopped tinkering, but now I'm motivated again. Super excited for this series.😊
I had Mac Stew for lunch, thanks Josh
Love the new show, I hope there’s more. Very interesting
I really appreciate you showing us in very good detail good job , thank you
Keep modifying the fuzz, really learned a lot. Best video yet
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR DOING THIS JOSH! I HAVE, DREAMED, FOR A LONG TIME, ABOUT TRYING THIS BUT NEVER HAD THE GUTS TO TRY THIS.... BUT MAN, Your video goes me so much HOPE! When I finally get money again, I may go at this and get the same small Kit and wire it along with your video!! I really want to see the breadboard on the kit!!!!!!!!!!
So down for more of this Josh and Team! 🥂
I'm most amazed by the fact that he still has his 10mm socket. Fun fact: as soon as you open and use a socket set there is a 90% chance that, when you put it away, a wormhole will open up and consume the 10mm and 9/16 sockets. They are whisked away to a pocket socket dimension where they spend all of eternity watching video of their previous enslavers searching for them.
This dimension also contains all the single socks that disappear in the wash.
I think they run off with your PZ-2 bits, and from time to time have an affair with that 1 particular Torx bit you need right now...
