Dub-T-123 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 buildyourownclone.com they're about twice as expensive as just getting the parts the normal way but they come with everything you need and they make it easier for you. They have instructions as well as a good forum for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Considering your taste in music and the gear that you already have, I recommend you build a Big Muff or Rat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 A chorus seems like a pretty complicated pedal for a first build but if you think you're up to it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Well I haven't built any pedals so it's not like I REALLY know but just from opening up a bunch of pedals and looking inside, dirt pedals are definately the most simple. So like I said above I'd recommend a Muff or Rat for you because you would definately dig them. But don't take what I say as the definitive answer or anything. Do what you want :) by the way tube screamers are super complicated for dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon S. Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 A chorus seems like a pretty complicated pedal for a first build but if you think you're up to it.. +1. Delays and Chorus pedals usually have a higher part count(and internal tweaking that can be a pain) than dirt/fuzz pedals. The good ol' Fuzz Face or SHO are probably the easiest to build. I've built a few Big Muffs, and they're not too hard. BYOC is definately the way to go for the first build since it comes with everything you need. Plus they sound killer!! Be warned though-once you build the first pedal...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Yeah Big Muffs are pretty complicated for a fuzz but nothing compared to a chorus. They don't seem too bad. A Big Muff will totally rock your world though dem00n. The BYOC muffage is way better than current EHX too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Alright, i think ill go for the muff then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 http://buildyourownclone.com/beaver.html check it out if you haven't already. What do you think? I don't want to just say you should do something. Do what you want! The Muff just has that thick, heavy stoner metal sound that's totally awesome (whether the demo shows it or not). That's why I thought you'd like it. The mids switch is nice. My Supa Tone has a similar switch and it's the best thing to ever happen to the muff.

dem00n Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Nah, i wanted a big muff for a while now. I wanted to get a Russian version but building one will be alot more fun and worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FarnsBarns Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Alright, i think ill go for the muff then. Does muff not mean the same in the US as it does over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 It means the same thing. Most of us have just gotten over it by now. Dem00n I had an EQD Hoof which is a green muff clone. It was pretty sweet. It seemed darker an more overdrive-ish than your average muff. I like my Supa Tone way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIANTRobOT42O Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 You can get a Devi kit for 25 bones. Each kits has a choice of four different pedals you can make. Its a good starting point fo sho and you get sinister sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIANTRobOT42O Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I was looking at that, but dont you need to buy your own box and pots and etc? This is true my friend. You can get most that stuff at Radio Shack to eliminate getting stuff shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ne14t? Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 All the links you need are in my signature... Tonepad has all the schematics and diagrams, you can even purchase pre-etched PCBs Triode Store has all the case needs you could possible require Smallbear is a good online source for electronic components, but if you have a electronics shop near your house its probably cheaper.
