It all started when I bumped into a rather unique hobby of building guitar effect pedals. In 2015, I found myself in a 20k+ member community of guitar pedal enthusiasts on Facebook. Being a teenager...
Sometime back, I built a CNC machine based on Nikodem Bartnik’s Dremel CNC. It was an easy build, however, I felt the electronics used in the project, were a bit obsolete. The Arduino UNO and...
During the pandemic, I decided to build myself a 3D printer to add another dimension to DIY projects. As for this post, here are some pictures I clicked along the way. I built this printer...
The pandemic has given me plenty of time to work on projects I’ve been procrastinating for ages. Sometime back, I happened to bump into the idea of making a 3D printer after a late-night marathon...
Introduction A conventional guitar pedal is a device that tweaks/modifies the sound from an electric guitar by adding effects such as echo, delay, distortion, etc to the original signal. There are several ways...
As of now here’s a quick schematic for the video shared on Reddit (post embedded below!). I will re-wrote this post in detail when I have time. Reduce the value of C1 for faster...
Recently, my Roland-cube amplifier decided to stop working amidst the pandemic. So I put together a simple amplifier to continue playing guitar during the lockdown. Loosely speaking, every guitar amplifier has three stages- A preamplifier...
Lately, I’ve been working on a programmable guitar pedal, which involves electronic-tweaking of sound signals produced by a guitar. This time, I chose a rather more engineering-oriented approach involving a bit of research and data collection...
If you have worked with guitar pedals and audio circuits in general, you may already know how capacitors are used as low/high pass filters. While designing non-distortion guitar pedals (tremolo, reverb, delay, etc.), a designer...
If you are into DIY guitar pedals and want to start designing your own effects, this article might help you open a few doors. I write this article as an EE student who earlier struggled...
