Thank you for showing me that this is not something for me. As a graphic designer, i'd love to design the exterior/aesthetics, but working on such small components, in a small space, with a fire stick-with my large hands-does not look like fun. I have so much respect for people who _do_ do this, though. Envy. [I came from your Reddit post]
I'm a designer to and I find more joy in designing the exterior as well. BUT! You could always avoid the hassle by using a bigger stopmbox. That gives you more than enough space for the wiring + you have more room for the design. I just made myself a deep blue delay pedal and it really wasn't that much of a hassle. It's worth noting that the only thing I know about electricity is that it turns the lights on :P.
winnetouch Hey there.
Yes, thanks-this was an old comment. Pretty much immediately after I wrote it, I found other videos on building, and my hesitations were allayed. I still haven’t started Down this road, but I definitely expect to.
It’s actually not hard. The first two pedals you build will be a little sloppy. By the time you get to your 3rd pedal, it’s basically easy.
Tbh it's a lot easier than you would think because solder likes to flow to metal. So where you have the components sit in the tracks it's really easy to not short things out and get solder everywhere because you only have to quickly dot a little bit on and it just seems to flow to the metal and avoid the plastic/lacquer of the PCB or stripboard.
I recently started as an apprentice electronics engineer with very limited soldering experience and I was pretty much a soldering wizard by the third day. And I'm not a particularly talented individual
Tip. Use sockets that fit your items. It makes it really easy to put together and pull apart if needed.
I did this when testing transistors in a fuzz pedal.
It turned out very beautiful, I'll also make my own screamer soon
I really like that your schematic is more like a build guide / component layout.
This actually makes it possible for me to build this (:
>> 'Real' (lines + symbols) schematics don't help me at all - can't read em ;), and I have no idea how to lay everything out efficiently
My real drill left me, that's why I got a step drill
I’m so sorry! I feel for ya. I know what it’s like, happened to me too!
Fantastic video thank you.
You can be proud of the final result, it sound very nice!
Thank you very much, appreciate it!
this looks extremely professional :D
I have thought about doing this with the original Sam Ash Fuzz from the 60's.
Thank god I found this video.
I screwed a Boss Sd-1 by trying to mod it, so now I have an empty enclosure with all the holes ready.
I suggest that the volume potentiator use lin instead of log. Because it's closer to the original, like his tonepad. Drive log, lin volume
what is that demo song 😿
I think the circut is a bit too cramped since you normally dont bend components to fit something. Also use a PUK saw to cut the stripboard and file down the edges, gives a much cleaner result. But other then that a really nice project.
the loop activation was a smart move
Great video
Perfect tutorial!!! Fire! 🔥🔥🔥
Nice video 👍
amazing video! you really inspired me to make this pedal. also, can you make a big muff tutorial video one day? i would love to make my own big muff since here in Brazil is one of the most expensive pedals!
Glad to hear that! Good idea, we'll look into it as soon as the corona situation eases up a bit. Meanwhile, you could have a look at the schematic here: tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2014/10/ehx-nyc-big-muff.html
@@lohisounds4064 thank you for the quick reply! i wil look into this schematic right now. stay safe!
That bold as love intro :)
Can you do also a tutorial on how to add another 1/4 jack input for that to act also as a footswitch and at the same time it will act as a boost
why did you need to have the level so different in the comparison?
was it just the knob that was placed wrong or was it something wrong with the circuit?
Nice video mate. I like the stripes!
what do you mean by the leads?
Isso é simplesmente perfeito
amazing video, what are the dimensions of the enclosure? sorry if I missed it
:D
I like the sound of your version better
Why does the original ts9 seem to have a lot more output than the diy version? is it a pot value difference or what?
maybe o r the diodes
@H A R you can see that with the volume knob at the same position the original has a lot more output. He's actually turning it down in order to match the level of the diy one
@@alexisdrosopoulos You're definitely right, the output is a lot more on the original which is why we turn it down to match. The most obvious reason for this is the value of the volume pot and/or the gain pot.
@@lohisounds4064 the thing is that based on the components listed in the description they all match the original. Are you sure you didn't accidentally wire the wrong pot? I've built a ts808, but on a pcb I designed not a vero and didn't have that problem. Weird.
@@alexisdrosopoulos is it possible it got wired in reverse? You can see that the level values are basically a mirror of each other at roughly 10 & 2.
Hi LoHi sounds i’ve got a question which i hope you can answer, how would you know to create a pedal using which components correctly? I mean i’m sure there’s a better way other than just slapping in the input output jack components,you know? Hope you can answer this
If you're talking about designing your own circuit from scratch it is quite difficult to as a beginner. I would recommend starting of by building clones of existing pedals, after that you could start with modding them and then eventually start with some of your own designs. I now that Brian Wampler of Wampler pedals have some good info on this on his youtube channel so I would recommend to check that one out!
Awesome video and sounds good but just out of curiosity why do they sound so different when the knobs are at the same positions? Is something on the schematic used for the build incorrect?
Do you have an updated version of this video? There are no close up shots of the stuff you are describing.
If shooting in 4k you can zoom in during post.
If not, you can use a 2nd camera, or even a smart phone that is on a small tripod, or even a gimbal nearby.
Bought the kit, thinking i could follow along. WRONG-O!!! LOL
@@kojam1 Someday I might do a video of a custom pedal build.
The problem is editing & making the video have enough info but not too long that nobody will watch it.
But in this video he could have had close-ups for a few seconds
@@RobertJene If you mean a vid of this build but slower and with close-ups, then I can't wait! Don't want to muck it up. Things cost cost so much here in Canada by the time we get it.
@@kojam1
I have a fuzz kit... I don't know how soon in the schedule the build is though.
I'm building a customer telecaster right now.
I have various OP amps and transistors that I am going to try when I do it, though.
Get subscribed if you're interested.
@@RobertJene Done! Thanks man..
Schematic plz😊😊😊
One question, i finished connecting everything to a veroboard, i mean all the componets, but i don't know how to connect it to the foot switch, jacks, dc etc. Is there a schematic for that too?
Ya but how you know what capacitors go where on the board is one hole pos and other neg?
i love when they demo stevie but no his just blues playin
Please can you send schematic ts9
How much did everything cost? Excluding the enclosure
Hi, I'm a newbie... I would to ask which size of solder is recommended for these jobs, 1mm, 0.8mm, 0.6mm or others? 60/40 or 63/37 ?
We normally use 1mm, but haven't really tried that many others. Try and see what fits you!
i just use a roll of 0.5mm lead free solder. it kinda depends on the soldering iron tip you are using.
thats interesting. Maybe that way, you can change the distortion of the Casio-EG 5 to a beautiful sound 🤔
im able to recreate this on tinkercad?
Very fun project. I am curious how much it can cost
Thanks! The components and the enclosure costs around 30 euros
it's silicon dude. Silicone is something entirely different
That's a hard one for a non native speaker to get right. Got me confused as hell before someone explained it to me
I bought all the circuit materials, I will make the circuit and i need the electronic diagram of the circuit, not the 3d front view, I need the wiring diagram of the circuit, the paths of the part legs, etc. do you have that, can you help me please? Thank you.
Hello, the schematic is linked in the description :)
Nice project. Is there a schematic available?
Thanks Chuck! Yes, we linked the schematic in the description :)
Hey man, really like your video. I started looking for the components but it seems there is a problem with capacitors - I cant find the specific values in my country. Is it ok to switch for example 50pF for 47pF?
Resistors are typically only reliable between 10% and 5% so as long as its as close as possible you should be good. May sound ever so slightly different though
Exactly, every component have som tolerance variance, so I wouldn't worry all that much about such small differences.
hey man! really good videos. would apreciate if you make one for people with no knowledge on the matter. Here i guess that people whatching
know the basics.
Thanks! Yeah, in these videos we assume you know the basics. It's a great suggestion doing a video on the basics of pedal building, maybe we'll get one out!
is it 15 x 20 rows or 50 x 20 rows?
Awesome video! Was this a pre-made kit or did you just gather all the components yourself? I'm interested in making my own pedal but not sure if its best to get a pre made kit or to buy all the components seperately.
Thanks Fredy! What we usually do is looking at the circuit and what components are needed, and order them ourselves. We also order some extra components that has a big impact on the sound, like diodes for example. Then we try them out and try to get the sound we think is the best! But if it's your first build, the best way to get started would probably be ordering a simple pre-made build (a fuzz for example).
How did you mount the circuit?
How much volts for Capacitor polybox.?
Tendras el diagrama de ese hermoso pedal

Hola Persy! Lo tienes en el bio, tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2012/02/ibanez-ts9_17.html :)
Мужик, а принципиальная схема то где?
Hi, i am currently working on this project, and i don't have the 1n4148 diode but instead i have the 1n914, aparently it is equivalent to the 1n4148, so, should i try it?
yes! theyre the same basically
Yes go for it!
diodes are much the same.
hi there with your leads I was wandering do they just connect the copper strips from one point to another? or do they connect every copper stip the wire spans?
Sure you figured this out by now, but it just connects one track to the other.
Where do people buy all the supplies?
Hi! Depends on where you're based. We're in Europe and mainly use musikding.de which is great. If you're in the uk bitsbox works and in the US (I think) tayda is a good source. But generally speaking, any web based electronics shop should do the trick!
Any good sites you can recommend to buy these components?
We usually order from musikding.de, a great site if you're based in Europe.
or try newtone in Holland if you're Europe Based
Where can I buy poly box capacitors? They seem to be rare. Is it possible to substitute poly box caps with another type of cap?
Tayda Electronics.They ship everywhere. And yes, you can use multilayer ceramic caps, per example or just regular poly caps (the non-box variety).
@@iagobroxado thanks
What source do you guys use for components? I've used mouser in the past but they just have so much stuff that it can be disorienting

@@lohisounds4064 I'm in the US so I'll try Tayda. Thanks!
Any tips on how to wire 3PDT switch?
I could use this info as well
Google 'off board wiring' for info on how to wire the switch as well as led, dc-power etc. On the tagboard effects website linked in the description they have shared some good info on this.
1x Red LED
Would u sell it to me?
Sorry, unfortunately we are unable to sell this pedal.
Nice video but I can't see shit
Really cool, but that video have nothing to do with tutorial
Its not SOULder... its SOder🤣
Hello, thak you for the video, I'm a newbie here and it’s very helpful. However, I still don't know what kind of wires should be used for the pedal? Which wires are better? Twisted or single core and 0,25mm* or 0,5 mm*? 🤔
