AceRimmer Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Does anyone know any good links to plans/sites that deal with making built in effects? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Don't know of any. But you can make your own effects from sites like tonepad and general guitar gadgets and fit them in. Most of the boards (particulaaly distortion effects) aren't too big. The only real problem comes with powering multiple effects you put in. Although i've never really understood this putting effects in guitars! put em on the floor and you can use em with multiple guitars, makes the axe lighter and less trouble!!

I gotta agree - some days I think that even active EQ is more trouble than it's worth! Look for simple, low parts-count circuits with as few controls as possible to conserve space, try to avoid anything with high current draw, like chorus/delays, unless you're willing to resort to heroic measures to power them, and don't forget to completely insulate the back of the board to avoid disastrous shorts when you button it all up. And don't expect it to turn you into Matt Bellamy overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
