of your tone
Building one’s own effects is one of the
best ways to really begin to understand
a guitar tone at a molecular level.
Rather than just knowing that a certain
pedal or fuzz circuit sounds good, one
begins to understand why it sounds
so good, and conversely, why some
other similar effect might not.
With experience, the DIY builder
develops an understanding of how
various components—and the way
in which they are connected—can yield
noticeable differences in sonic quality,
feel, reliability, and other important
aspects of a stompbox’s personality.
This knowledge will improve one’s tone,
allow one to build better effects of your
own in the future, and provide one with
the ability to discern the relative build
quality of other pedals that players come
across in their musical adventures.
