Complete Beginner's Guide: How To Design Your Own Guitar Pedal Circuits
NEW DIY COURSE!
Discover the art of guitar pedal audio electronics with our new online course on designing overdrive, distortion, and fuzz guitar pedal circuits!
Whether you have absolutely zero experience or have built some guitar pedal kits, we'll teach you all about guitar audio electronics without the jargon in an easy to understand way.
We've simplified complexities in a way that you won't find anywhere else.
Guided by the renowned expertise of Brian Wampler, founder of Wampler Pedals, this course is now your available gateway to the exciting and enjoyable world of guitar pedal design, building, and modifications.
