Building your own pedals
I'm looking to make my own Delay/Sampling/Echo pedals.
Any good reliable schematics out there? My friend had a great site but alas I forgot it, so anything that looks good to you, please recommend, and bonus if you've used it with success before.

Re: Building your own pedals
These are some sites I have in my bookmarks I have never tried them so I don't know how reliable they are.

Re: Building your own pedals
You will go through alot of trial and error for a pedal that just won't sound as well as the store brand ones. Believe me I build my own and I didn't actually use my own pedals until about 2 years after starting. When I look back I should of just sucked it up and bought.

you probably had shitty plans and sucked at soldering. The bottom line is if you have good plans, parts and ability a home made pedal can be better then bought.

Worst case I'm thinking it'll be better because I'll be able to put in only what I want. Maybe I won't need to edit volume, so I'll leave it out and save myself that hassle, etc.
I wanted to make sampling/delay/echoe, but my uncle said it wasn't viable as a recorder (ie, I sample a long ass melody, play it, then play harmony over), so I'll just use a laptop for recording on the go, and for pedals I'll stick to distortion, overdrive, etc.
I've got a pretty sweet amp but it's a bitch to change settings mid-song and the 10 pickup combinations on my Strat don't really have the huge range I need. Maybe I just haven't found it yet, but on the Les Paul it's easy to go straight from a clean sound to nearly fully distortion just by flicking the switch from up to down.
