Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you are most likely either new here or completely retarded, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

NOTE: Next weekend is going to be the Halloween version of the FNGT, so come up with something scary for all the kids.

Wow man! That's awesome, I really like it.

Did you work from a kit set or is it your own design?

There are several kits out there. I think this is the one I built.

I enjoy putting pedals together, I've done 12 or so. When I start soldering I fall into a zen state...until I get it all put together and the damn thing doesn't work on the first try. Then I get pissed and set it aside for a couple weeks, and eventually troubleshoot it out of frustration and vengeance till it works.

Sounds like an interesting way to spend some time and it's really useful. Does it work out much cheaper?

Yeah, especially on the hard-to-find pedals.

The cool thing is that you can use the schematic to build it on a breadboard first, and at that point you can swap components to see how it affects the sound. Different transistors have different gain, and different resistor/capacitor networks can drastically change the tone.
