What Happens When A Pro Pedal Builder Builds a DIY Pedal Kit?
What Happens When a Pro Pedal Builder Builds a DIY Pedal Kit? If you ever wanted to know what a professional pedal builder would do differently with a DIY pedal kit compared to most others, or if you're into DIY pedal building yourself, you’ll love this. I’ll be using the StewMac Screamer kit and showing you just what I personally do if I buy a DIY “build your own pedal” type kit, how I approach the circuit, and just why I rarely, if ever, follow the exact instructions and instead I completely change it into something personalized, unique, and inspiring to play.
First, I’m going to get the schematic from the kit documents and decide just what I want to do differently. I’ll use a breadboard for circuit experimentation to do this.
_____________________________________________________________________
🔥My newest course, *“Complete Beginners Guide: How to design your own guitar pedal circuits”* will detail exactly how to do this, even if you have *zero experience with electronics* - I’ll teach you everything in easy to understand language, no math involved, and we’ll do it with a guitar in hand.

*Use coupon code ➡️ youtube15 ⬅️ to get an automatic 15% discount!*
_____________________________________________________________________
We’ll discuss how to recognize circuit blocks in order to do these types of changes. We'll look at examples like the Tube Screamer, Boss SD-1, LovePedal Eternity, and Earthquaker Devices Plumes for examples of 4 pedals with similar topologies that all sound completely different. We’ll also compare not only the circuitry of these pedals but also play them side by side for a sound comparison.
Then, it’s time to make the magic happen! I’ll start building the pedal and get to the end, but guess what? IT DOESN’T WORK! 🤦♂️That’s ok though - it’s a great chance to walk through troubleshooting the pedal and get it working.
Lastly, the play test! How does it sound compared to the breadboarded Prototype version?

In today's episode, I'm taking you on a unique journey - a challenge I set for myself to see if I can emulate the warm, rich tones of a tube amp using nothing but solid state circuitry just like we use in analog guitar pedals. We start off with a nostalgic piece - the Crate V50, 5212, a budget tube amp that's been a trusty companion for many guitarists over the years. My mission? To replicate i...
Breathing new life into this old tube amp, the Palomino V16 from Crate

In this video, I'll do a bit of work on my Crate V16 Palomino. Released in the early 2000s, this amp holds a special place in my heart for its unique blend of chiming cleans and gainy response, sort of reminding me of the classic Vox amps, but with a tighter bottom end. But even the best of gear can face the test of time. That's exactly what happened with my V16 - the potentiometers started cra...

Tomemos en cuenta que usa Single Coil. Con HH es distinto
Thank you Brian! I almost gave up on my BJ. Your EQ trick works great! It’s now gig worthy for small gigs. Nice to put my eq pedal on my board too. I never really had a use for it until now. Thank you!
The non-Ge Tumnus was my favorite drive pedal I’ve ever used. This one is even better!! It’s never leaving my board. And an unexpected bonus…the two Tumnuses (Tumni?) pair/stack surprisingly well! 🤘🏻
That JFET drive is pure AC/DC.
WHERES THE OD-2! I crave knowledge for the od2 please supply the knowledge lord wampler
Please keep doing stuff like this. You and Josh are easily my favorite CZcams channels right now. I watch everyday 😁👍thanks Brian!
#2 was my favorite ,then #5 then #4
Problem I have now is solved. Thank you
PedalPCB and the individual/all who run it are exceptional. Their forums are an absolutely priceless resource!
All sound the same,
Just bought one Zero distortion returning
Ive always liked the Tumnus 😊
It'd be really really cool if there was a student discount option for your courses, I would love to learn everything but I can't come near the full price of the course I'm afraid
A lil bit snug, don’t over tighten and warp the basket or surround!
I bought a Boss IR2, does it make sense to add a BD2 into the chain?
I really think that’s an incredibly useful amp, it responds well to both single coils and humbuckers. Of course it should. It’s a Soldano. You’re paying a premium for it.
I'm a freak of nature 🤣
I’ll never be able to afford one of these pedals😂 I adore the interview! I’m 6 months into my guitar journey. Love the wamplers
Thanks so much!! We do have two budget pedals- the phenom and the triumph. Probably well under $100 on the used market, like reverb.com 😊
I have been playing over 30 years, and I learned something new here not even related to the electronics part. I had no idea people dime the gain then bring the volume up. I have always tried to use a combination of level and gain hitting the front end of my amp to achieve the distortion, but I'm wondering if I might rediscover something using this other approach. Maybe it's ridiculous of me, I guess I just get set in my ways?
There’s no “wrong way” to use them, but yes both of those approaches will give two different tones. Definitely worth a try 😊
Not close at all . the only way to replicate tube sound is with tubes . the op amps sounded bad in contrast .
Instead of buying another amp, I buy another OD pedal. 😄😄😄
Long time fan of your work, I think we met in Asheville at some point in time, I was involved with a few different gear designers and manufacturers in that area before I struck out on my own. Love the style and no-nonsense approach to guitar gear and the fact you talk about the lineage of your designs as well as others.
The "Texture" setting would be my always on!
very cool!
That particular type of dc socket is notoriously sketchy. Ive found a high percentage that short out internally.
I'm a retired 67 year old computer programmer who also does some guitar pickin'. Since I now have the time, I decided to start teaching myself some electronics with a focus understanding amplifiers and pedals. You provide a wonderful source of information on this stuff. It is very much appreciated!
Just bought a BD-2 after so many years of playing.. Along with the OD-3 they are excellent boss overdrive pedals. I’m not a huge fan of boss distortion pedals. Too bright. But those two overdrives are excellent. Kind of a good balance to my 808.
Great video. But MAN is that the ugliest looking string tree ever on that guitar!
Im trying to remember, either WAMP,er or another well known pedal builder was selling a breadboard circuit board which handled true bypass, input, output, power, and much other so one could use it and connect to a breadboard and just concentrate on the breadboard signal circuit. Was sort of an ideal upgrade from this. I tried to buy one but they were sold out and the builder replied that they should be making more soon. This was many months ago and now I can’t find it again. Any ideas?
We do but others do as well. Mine is here: wamplerdiy.com/products/breadboard-module-bb-1-for-prototyping-guitar-pedals And I think Coppersound pedals does something similar Arcadia effects has something similar as well. All of them have their own unique uses and features, just depends what one is looking for
@@wampler_pedals thanks, in the meantime I already found yours (it wasn’t easy as far as googling “wampler breadboard rig” or variations, but found the utilities section under your web page with it. I might check out the others but yours seems really well thought out and convenient. Looking forward to getting it.
Can this pedal be used for rhythm? Based on all the demos it seems like it’s for soloing only.
Yes it can, I think most CZcamsrs just focus on lead stuff in general.
Hello i have a tumnus Deluxe but is a overdrive or a distorsion ? If i want more distorsion i must change for eras for example
The Tumnus circuit is more of an overdrive circuit than it is distortion
So when you talk of, "blocks" what exactly is a block or blocks?
A circuit “block”, here is an example: www.electrosmash.com/images/tech/tube-screamer/tube-screamer-block-diagram.png But if you’re watching the video I explain each of the circuit blocks, where they are, and what they do.
@@wampler_pedals Thank you yes I see now I just thought I may have been missing something.
I halfway expected Bubbles from the TPB make a guest appearance at 12:30 or so when Brian was using “Closer to the Heart” as his demo tune.😂
Just got my Mofetta a few days ago and I absolutely love it you did such a great job with this! Im absolutely in love with the way it stacks with my prince of tone it’s much fuller and thicker than a klon of a tube screamer.
But but imagine this exact circuit you just built but with carbon film resisters instead of metal film ones

VOX has that "hi fi" touch due to the class A. Fun to play
One of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve messed with pedal and amp electronics through the years. Wish this was presented a long time ago. Thank you so much.
I have a crazy idea for a pedal, but i don't know if it will work, but i think it should: its like an octave fuzz but instead of an octave up, it makes your guitar sound minor. I'll explain: the pedal would have 2 'octave fuzz' circuits. your signal would be split so some of it would go through the one, and some through the other, then rejoin at the end. However, instead of being an octave up, one would be a minor third (down, 3 half steps), and the other a perfect 5th up. So, whatever you play, this 'minor fuzz' would add minor third and a perfect 5th overtones/harmonics in order to make whatever you play sound minor.
Managed to pick one up today from Andertons. Till today this is one of the best distortion.
This pedal is absolutely the best OD-Dist pedal ever!! It makes everyone of my guitars sound better. It's incredibly versatile, built like a tank and has tons of volume. Highly recommended!!
Some great tips. I have a Klone I’m modding and it only has part values printed on the board.
I am sorry dude. For many of us, a project like this is a wonderful escapist 'off switch'. For you, it bumps the on switch up to a higher wattage. Love your vids, love your pedals. As a high school teacher I feel qualified to say, you're a great teacher.
2024 and there still making valve amp that way a tone whats going on
How can someone have 4 knobs on a pedal and not try to turn one of them if he doesent like the sound. 😅😅😅😂😂😂
Wampler is the best. Love your attitude and videos. I also love your style of delivery. That is why I will continue to buy your products. Peace. (oops! I watched your video twice and commented on it twice without remembering it had already done so). 🙂
I have no idea what's going on here
