Create your own DIY stompbox circuits
If you´ve ever wanted to learn about building your own effects pedals but don´t have a clue where to start, the Beavis Board kit could give you a leg-up into the world of circuit diagrams, esoteric-sounding components and spending hours in your workshop cultivating mad-scientist hair and a big frizzy beard - with no solder required.
Consisting of a true bypass i/o breakbox, a bread board to build your circuit on, loads of components, a digital multimeter and a project-based guide to creating audio circuits, following the kit´s schematics and instructions will show you how to make sense of the inner workings of classic stompboxes - from tremolo effects to compressors to boutique tube screamers. There are also suggested mods so you can tailor circuits to your own unique sonic requirements.
