Since the fall of 2008, I have been engrossed in building my own guitar gear. Initially I was introduced to building tube amplifiers, but decided to start a little smaller (both in size and voltage!) with effect pedals (e.g. distortions, fuzzes, delays, etc.). My list of gear to build is growing by the day the deeper I fall into this addicting hobby. I have a list of pedals I want to build first, and then when the experience, money, and time have increased, then I will build a guitar amp (most likely an AC30 head with a 2×12 cabinet, but we’ll see).
As I build, I am going to update this page with my builds. Also, I will give you a list of what is to come (with subject to change of course!).
To Build:
- Paul C’s Timmy
- Tremulus Lune
- Valvecaster
- Clari(not)
- Ruby Amp (with headphone adapter)
- Fuzz Factory (finished! – pictures coming soon)
- Fulltone OCD
- BYOC Large Beaver
- BYOC Digital Echo/Ping Pong (almost finished!!)
Have Built (in chronological order):
General Guitar Gadgets ITS8 (Similar to the Ibanez Tube Screamer 808 model)
Rockbox (Similiar to a Box of Rock)
Fuzz Face (similiar to the classic Fuzz Face)
BYOC’s 5-Knob Compressor (based off a Ross Compressor and similar to a Keeley 4-Knob Compressor)
BYOC Phaser with added mods (Feedback knob, Blend knob, Phase 90/45 switch, Phase/Vibe switch)
