silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I'm currently planning to build a distortion unit for my first stompbox. I was wondering which distortion units you guys liked most. But, don't JUST vote, if you have the time, tell us what qualities you guys like?

LukeR Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 hi man, as you have said its your first project, I would suggest making a pedal using one of the schematics at www.runoffgroove.com They have schematics, sound samples AND photos/or drawings of what your circiut board should end up looking like. It will make trouble shooting your pedal (you will have to debug your 1st pedal- EVERYONE makes a mistake ot two on thier fisrt pedal) MUCH easier to do. I wish that site was like that when I first attempted making my one pedals. I BEG you- make one of the pedals from that site- you wont regret it.

silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I'm actually using the schemos and stuff from www.generalguitargadgets.com its just like what you just described. Its got schematics, sound samples (although I think the tubescreamer link to the sample is broken), diagrams, PCB layouts, and pictures, and on some pedals, instructions even.
