- Today,, we start our series on understanding and using a breadboard to build and design guitar pedals. Our subject is the Electro Harmonix LPB-1.

Three days ago I sent an email requesting this. I am going to pretend I am responsible for the awesomeness of this episode
Electrical Engineer here that has been working in software for the last 15 years. Pretty sure I chose the wrong career path 😅.
The transistor base is not biased to 4.5V. It should be 0.7V above emitter voltage and the collector is traditionally biased to 4.5V. Then again I could be wrong...
Thanks for not having background music
Next time you should do a Bazz fuss and just swap out transistors, caps, diodes, and resistors to show how vastly different each part can change!
What would be exceptional, and modern is to mod CV inputs to control for example capacitance nodes in the circuit using some sort of variable capacitor and modulate timbral characteristics with an LFO. ... I don't know if that is even possible, so forgive me if my specific example is stupid .... but I DO know that it in general principal its the future.
This type of content is GOLD. Thank you and more please. Fuzz pedal sounds like a great next lesson.
Please do a Rat circuit. Delay (the one in the spring tank) and compressors would be really cool to see. Also a simple tube preamp, please!
I'd love to hear you go over blend knobs. The Lumberjack by Electro-Harmonix sounds wild to me. My favorite pedal is the 4 knob Keeley Compressor with the blend. Blend knobs automatically make a pedal seem more bougie to me. Makes me feel like a hi-fi sophisticate instead of the descendent of alcoholic, hillbilly coal miners. Which is ironic because my second favorite pedal is the V2 Moonshine.
It would be cool to see future circuits in the order they were designed, seeing how new ideas were built upon existing ones. Glad you're doing more of these Short Circuit episodes!
Thank you, Josh! You and Brian Wampler are shining a light on such needy goodness, guitar pedal breadboarding/design/building! Very well done, indeed.
MORE MORE MORE! Fuzz and overdrive examples please! And also a video explaining how you go from a finished bread board design to building it into a pedal please!
“Sorry, I can’t come over tonight babe, Josh just made another Short Circuit video”
josh, I’m so happy you exist. you’re just the best
YESS THANK YOU JHS IVE WANTED THIS EVER SINCE I WAS BORN, PLEASE DONT STOP THIS SERIES!!!
I can't imagine another part of the guitar world where giants like Brian Wampler and Josh Scott would take their time to show you how they work and share their passion. Pedal builders are a different kind of of people. THANK YOU!!!
THIS is my favorite kind of content. The LPB-1 was the first pedal circuit that got me into pedal building, and I've built different versions, variations, and mods of this and have settled on a souped out design with switchable caps, switchable clipping, and emitter gain onto a potentiometer. Just that one pedal into an amp gives me almost every sound I could ever need (minus modulation/delay/reverb). The LPB-1 is such a simple yet fantastic circuit, and like you said doesn't get the attention or recognition it deserves anymore.
Breadboarding a reverb circuit would be sick. Awesome content as always
Here because I was thinking about getting Brian's course about building pedals. The comment about him being the OG helped make my decision.
I'm going to make a Canadian pedal company. This was my beginning, thank you.
