hi, i want to build a classic distortion pedal for myself. i have been trying to find some info on making distortion pedals but all i came across was https://www.diystompboxes.com....and simlar sites which talk about only FUZZ n other efeects..that too user made...but no distortion.. is there any book/tutorial available anywhere...or people who have made thier own pedals could guide plz.. regards
Hail Ronnie BABA........hes made tons of pedals and footswitches on his own noone can help ya better then him.
A Fuzz is a very different animal than a distortion pedal. I guess what you are looking for is a pedal that will emulate the distortion of classic tube amps.You could make a Tubescreamer type overdrive, again different from distortion per se. It would be easier if you told what particular sounds you are looking for.
i am looking for a sound like the "keeley modded DS1"..so not an overdrive.. is there no place on the net to get info on making pedals?
You can find a DS1 schematic and mods if you search google or check its wikipedia page.For practical building tips, PM Ronnie.
Search for Insanity Box. That's a high gain distortion.....I dont remember the link.........Google and you can get it........
thanks i found some schematics... any tips to know whether the schematics are correct...or have u worked on a circuit before?
