Over lock down I've got into DIY pedal kits. It's been greta fun, and a lovely way to while away a few hours while working from home. They are not especially cheap, but the sound quality seems amazing (to me at least). For many years now I've been an acoustic picker, but having these has rekindled the joy of playing electric, loud!
From right to left a 60's style pre-amp (based on the Hudson Broadcast) a Blue Breaker (based on the Marshall, a Gilmour Fuzz (based on a Fuzz face) and a delay/reverb. All from Jed's peds.
Basic soldering skills and kit required, but nothing too complicated. Would recommend
I've gone and bought some pedals...
The looper came first in January, and I'd never owned any before. Then I borrowed my brother's multi-FX thing and had to admit that yeah, I had fun, in spite of liking the simplicity of just plugging straight into an amp.
The Caverns is great (I just wanted a basic reverb, but this was cheap second hand and it's fun), the wah is a wah, and I'm still figuring out how to make the Tube Screamer work nicely with my amp.
