This is all I ever wanted. I wanted to see somebody take a schematic and build it with real parts-- constantly referring back to the schematic. This was a huge help! Now I know the basics of how to read one!
Hey, I'm a guitar player and I've been trying to learn about pedals and circuits. This video puts a lot of light and bridges the gap between theory diagram charts with the real board, so thanks! 😬🤟
currently a junior in college studying electrical engineering. i wanted to make my own pedals after we learned transistor circuit designs and this a great stepping stone thank you
Zero-experience electrical engineer here looking to get into this kind of thing and am amazed at the quality of this lesson!! Learnt so much about breadboards and reading schematics, thank you so much!
Hey Paul, thanks for making such an easy to understand tutorial on breadboarding and basic circuitry. This is the video I've been looking for for about a year, I haven't found anything else that breaks down the way the blasted things are wired up internally in such an easy-to-understand manner. I'm going to have a play with the components I have for now but I've bookmarked your site for when I get to the point of wanting specialised components for projects I'm working on. Great to find a small-scale Australian supplier for all of those more arcane transistors etc. used in audio circuitry as well. Take care!
Thanks so much! I remember watching some of your vids a few years ago. As a musician I was fascinated, but didn't understand any of the electronics. I finally chose the path beyond ignorance and went back to school to study EE. This video helped me understand the relationship between power and signal in a schematic. Now I can finish my semester final! Yaayyy!
Awesome video! I'm considering trying to mess around with pedal circuits mostly as a curiosity at this point. This gave me a basic understanding of how to get things hooked up.
Thank you for this video, just really getting into breadboarding. Now I know I understand it. I appreciate your attention to detail. Thanks again, Steve
I was always looking for somewhere I could redirect beginners when I am writing instructables, so they have immediate help when struggling with the basics. And I have to say: you did a marvellous job guiding people through the process and showing how to approach things and what to look for! Thank you a lot!
This was really great! As someone who's always had trouble with electronics, this was nice and easy to follow. Definitely learned something here. Thanks a lot, mate!
I've just found your video on how to build fx pedals brilliant I love the way you take the time to show exactly what goes where really looking forward to having a go .
Best tutorial I have seen detailing how a schematic is wired up on a breadboard. I was having trouble visualizing it and this clarified the whole process. Thank you!!
I have a nephew who wants to start building pedals. Because of the physical distance between our respective cities, it’s difficult to try to get him started with the ins and outs of breadboarding. You did a swimmingly splendid job here sir. I’ve watched maybe a dozen videos, curating as I go and yours is the best. I’ll send him the link and answer any questions he might still have. I’ve been building my own circuits since the 90’s and designing my own circuits for the last five years. I was about ready to do my own video for my nephew to explain all this. Now I just have to send him a link. Again, much thanks to you for this superb tutorial.
You my friend deserve much more credit. You explained the circuit board perfectly. Even better than my teacher. Thanks a lot. Now you have earned yourself 1 more Subscriber.
Great and very instructive intro to bread boarding, answered a lot of questions I'd got. Have been thinking of reusing a large metal biscuit tin as an enclosure, with the common parts i.e power input / output jacks and maybe a few switches installed in the sides of the tin. I think Brian Wampler used an amp chasis for the same kind of thing. After watching your video feel a bit more like trying to make it work. I'm fairly new to this stuff, having modded a few pedals from kits and getting bitten by the bug! Thanks once again - great video.
First, I must say that the best dad hands down that you have on the wall is the cutest thing 😍 Second, is that I really enjoyed the video and I look forward to giving one of the kits a go at some point as this video was really easy to understand. Thank you very much :-)
Fantastically helpful vid as a newbie to pedal building myself, I have this circuit 90% complete on a small breadboard just waiting on parts from Amazon and Ebay. I have ordered big stocks so loads of prototypes. Next is a Dallas treble booster again waiting for my geranium transistors to arrive.
I built this along with you last night and I can't say thank you enough! I'll be ordering a PCB kit soon just as a way of thanking you. This is just what I needed to better understand guitar circuits and I plan to swap out components of different values to see what they do!
This was the best video i came across youtube...very informative etc i am completely new to this and starting to build my first pedal. Really learned a lot from this. Thank you!
Hi ! Thanks for all that helpful tips ! I made it this week-end with components that i found in electronics garbages in the street. They have not really same values than the ones you use, but the pedal works pretty well for now, and it sound more like a fuzz :P
I don't know how any assholes can give you a thumbs down on anything. You're providing such an amazing, informative service that is clear and friendly and you give this away for free. I'm so thankful for your videos, I'd have no leg into this world without your videos dumbing things down for dumbies like me.
Thank you sir! Thumbs down mean nothing when you receive emails from fans telling you how they started learning from your videos and have moved onto their dream jobs in the pedal and electronic engineering fields. Stay focused on the goal and the purpose my friend. PS, your not dumb, your a beginner. Stick with it and you will learn alot.
It worked! It worked! After several failures and wanting to give up on this passion of mine this video lifted me up! But you were wrong it's been 4 hours and I still can't wipe the grin off my face 😀
watched about six other videos on this subject, none of them nearly as helpful! just built your bazz fuss successfully, now I'm working on a simple tremolo from a schematic I found. Cheers
Cool video...as a complete noob, I'm gonna look foreward to watching several times to wrap my mind around it, and try it myself along with the video. Thanks!

This was really a nice beginner video. You really did a nice job explaining how the breadboard contacts work. Lots of great beginner info here.
Build this today as my first tryout pedal circuit. Works like a charm. Could indeed not take the smile of my face for half an hour. Thanks!
I think this was the most helpful tutorial for these guitar pedals that I've seen so far! Awesome!
