DIY

By Jared

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:

  1. Paul C’s Timmy
  2. Tremulus Lune
  3. Valvecaster
  4. Clari(not)
  5. Ruby Amp (with headphone adapter)
  6. Fuzz Factory (finished! – pictures coming soon)
  7. Fulltone OCD
  8. BYOC Large Beaver
  9. 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)
