Dude-thanks for teaching people how to catch their own fish.
Any time!
I'm only a few months into pedal building and I've never heard a more reassuring phrase than "This is the part of the build where things start disappearing." It feels like at some point your parts and tools just sprout legs and toddle off and it's nice to know it's not just me.
Love the last name, I'm Brian Heaney
Worry not. Happens to all of us. LOL.
Sometimes mine just falls into oblivion.
Haven't gotten into pedal building, but I have assembled things before with small parts and one tip is to use small containers to categorise and keep things in. That way, when those small containers sprout lets and go walk-abouts, at least you'll have the peace of mind that the little pieces aren't alone.
@@C33Fernandez Smart. The buddy system is a classic for a reason.
You’re the Bob Ross of pedal builders. "Change the transistors, it's your world"
😄👍
Look at all the happy little components!
Bob Ross of fuzz... who made a video about the Ross Fuzz... which made my head bob along to that song he played... coincidence?
As someone who's just started building kits I love this
Yeah, I hate it too
As someone who has built kits I love this
Thank you Josh for the free pedal! Chose the 3-Series Fuzz, of course. Watching you solder was really helpful...I see what I've been doing wrong. Thanks!!!! Great content... more please!
I think when that tool is in use, it should be called Carol Cam.
The Carol Clamp!@@davidpekarsky2977
we actually learned in electronic school you shouldnt bend the legs underneath on the solder side because if you need to chage something its pain in the ass and the solder doesnt flow as parallel
You are the Bob Ross of pedal building. Today we're gonna build a happy little fuzz...
The theme song and logo is outstanding!
Equipment suggestion: You could use an Ipad (or non apple equivalent) to take a photo of the small component in front of you so you would instanly have a 10" picture of it you could point at various parts with human sized fingers. You could then just put the ipad out of shot and come back to it later if you think of another point or have another tiny component.
Or a dedicated Tiny Objects camera with a Tiny Table and Wee Pointy Stick
I had to walk away from the live stream for a few minutes so it didn't let me vote on the poll.
My answer is YES. Please keep doing this series.
Love the 80's opening, solid!
Just in time, I'm meeting a builder tomorrow to do my first build , a fuzz face circuit from scratch. This video is the perfect prep!
Josh is truly a gift to humanity! His desire to share his passions and his humble nature make it easy and enjoyable to watch. Guess that makes me a nerd! 🤓
I build electronics professionally, but I've only made one pedal from a kit. This is super cool!
I've built 3 Stew Mac kits and have 3 more to build. Absolutely a blast to build. Thank you for this video.
Using a multimeter to test the resistors is essential for those of us with red/green colorblindness. It can be really difficult to discern the different colors of the bands.
I have a little fixture made for this exact purpose. It's basically a bit of PCB with 2 copper lands with banana plug leads soldered to them so as I go I can just touch a resistor off the pads, get a reading and carry on. Much handier than dealing with probes.
Good Lord this! They print tiny little numbers on other components, why can't they just put numbers on resistors?
This is the best reality show that I've ever watched.
Organic & Natural.
That is a good band name too.
Your wife and Belle play a huge role in this episode. At last, we believe that you're a human.
Loved everything about this right down to the name of the series! Please do more!
Very cool! Thanks so much for having us along!
I've been breadboarding fuzzes all week so this is just lovely! I'd love to know more about substituting components, and identifying the different stages of a schematic! Thanks for the tone wisdom
I absolutely loved this episode!! Not only was it great to watch you build a pedal but it was really great to see you work through any of the minor hiccups you ran into and watch you troubleshoot them. Thank you soooo much!! Can't wait to see the next episode!!!
Wow! This is SO helpful! Even after having built around 25 pedals, I still learned things watching Josh!
More, please!
Definitely keep this series going!! Really looking forward to the breadboarding video of this circuit!!
This is great. I don't usually watch videos this long and it took a couple of sessions, but this is great. I hope you keep doing this Josh!
Could be my favourite video thus far - I've been watching a couple of years now, it's definitely a favourite anyway. More please Josh, this was fascinating and really encouraging.
Please keep this series going! I learned so much!!! Thank you Josh you are the GOAT!
Thank you for doing this video! I hope this series continues.
Spectacular episode Josh!! I really enjoy this NERD-RAMA format of your shows. Looking forward to many more to come. Thanks!!!
Firstly, I love this content so I'm glad you're doing this.
Secondly those instructions from Stu Mac are so visually easy to read, use and are super informative. Congratulations to their team for that.
Please make a thousand of these ones!!! I loved it and learned so much!!!
Thank you for providing this demo video, Josh. I appreciate you taking the time to explain and show how different transistors effect the sound. Very interesting and informative.
This was awesome. Thank You. For such a long time I have been going back and forth (contemplating) on trying my hand at kit pedals or kit amps. I really hope this becomes a series and goes into deep dives on component selection, easy modifications for swapping components, etc. Thank you for the content!
I just got to tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time (as busy as you must be running your company) to educate the masses about this interesting and very rewarding hobby. You my friend are a true believer and King of pedal lore!
Josh, i LOVE this concept!
Real content warts and all, honesty & sincerity are wonderful traits 🙏
Nothing you've ever done has got me more excited than when you announced doing this. I absolutely love this kind of content and I can't wait to see more. I'm a beginner guitar pedal builder with a few pedals built so far and many more in the works.
Cannot wait for the breadboard episode! Thats where I'm stuck, somewhere between schematic and breadboarding.
Also, talking to one self while creating is essential! Thanks, Josh! 👾
Hi Julian! You aren´t from Sweden huh? The surname Holm is very common here in Sweden anyway...
Would you like to tell more precise where you are stuck, with what? Is the breadboarding where it takes stop for you? When you are trying to take a schematic and put a circuit on the breadboard? Is it something specific that you have been trying to do but haven´t been able to overcome? Some circuit you cant get working?
I wouldn´t mind to try to help you overcome the obstacles so you can keep on advancing to your next level with electronics. Getting stuck is so un-fun and bad for creativity so i would be glad to help you with your journey. I´m no electrical engineer but i have made the journey myself with building kits - building from stripboard/vero layouts - building from schematics - making my own schematics and circuits - designing and making my own PCB´s for pedals/synthesizer circuits. I feel like this hobby is the best thing thats ever happen to me, it has been so extremely fun. Everything about it. To learn, create, advance, trying, failing, troubleshooting, getting ideas on the bus i have to draw a sketch of immidiately and try as soon as i come home. It is so rewarding and healthy for the mind and soul. Challenging and interesting.
Electronics is not easy. You WILL get stuck. What i like about it though is that you physically can track down and find the faults. It doesn´t give you a error-code like a computer "FaultErrorUpdate404.exe is computing process corruption, bios delete C:. Erase the Cat. Press Try Again!.
If you get how i mean. If you have a short circuit for example, there will be a physical short somewhere on the 10x10cm board that you will be able to find, sooner or later. In the beginning there is a lot of headscratching when troubleshooting but the more you do it the better will you be at troubleshooting. You will be a lot faster and it will be a lot easier when you have methodical ways and a better overall understanding of circuits so you know where to look when a certain fault is showing its ugly face. As a beginner you have to just be persistent sometimes, find A way. Maybe not the best or fastest way but atleast you now have a way that you know will work for sure, get you to your goal.
It´s a lot easier if you have someone to bounce your ideas off of and talk to when getting stuck, we learn a lot by putting word to our thoughts.
So if you want someone to talk electronics with back and forth and maybe share our current projects and learn from each other you´re more than welcome to send me a e-mail or text me att fb or something. You can find my mailaddress and my name here on my youtube page. I´m curious where you are stuck :-).
If anyone else reads this and wants to talk electronics, feel free to reach out!
This is wonderful! I've been thinking about building/modding some pedals, and this has pushed me to do so. Thank you!
This is amazing!! Great idea!! Looking forward to seeing more, unfortunately I couldn’t watch it live, but really enjoying it!!
Thanks for your humility! It's honestly great seeing you do this in real time and make a mistake. Very relatable and validating for me as I create plenty of mistakes too
Loving this new show. Nerding out like crazy. Looking forward to more videos like this 😍😍🤩🤩
Great timing for me on this video. I hope you do more of these and often. I'd love to continue learning about components.
I’m only a couple kit builds into the craft and I’ve been sitting on fuzz face components. I really want this project to turn out well and this video helped me feel ready to tackle this one. Thanks guys
Came for the Barney songs, stayed for the pedal build. This was beautiful therapy I didn't know I needed. Thank You Josh. 🥰🥰
Ive been building for years and already see 5 things Im going to change in my process. Im gonna love this series.
this was awesome to watch - thanks so much Josh!
Thank you so much for this series! Exactly what I need.
So much appreciate this series. This is something I've been wanting to do and not really sure where to start, so im really looking forward to the breadboard episode. I totally get your personality, I'm very much the same. I am so glad i watched this! 😃👍
This is great dude. Thank you so much for sharing this. I cannot believe the amount of information there is for people that are really into gear. This is fantastic.
Josh, thank you for doing this. For some reason I haven't been motivated to play. This video has given me some ideas and that gives me motivation. So thank you for reigniting my motivation!
I say, keep this format going!!
Love this new series, please keep doing them!!!!!
That was fun! Please continue the series.
I really appreciate you making this video, Josh. As someone interested in learning how to create my own DIY pedals this has been a great resource. It helps a lot to see how different people approach their workflow and this makes the idea of creating my own pedals much less intimidating. I hope you will consider making more of these kinds of videos, I really learned a lot and enjoyed it. It's incredibly helpful to see a tutorial from an industry professional such as yourself.
Josh thanks for doing this. It is important to show both being careful to follow directions but you also had the chance to demo troubleshooting.
Josh, thanks for doing this. I am excited to start building pedals and you are an inspiration. I love the content you put up. Your whole team is great.
OUTSTANDING!! This gives me confidence in building my own pedals, thanks!
I absolutely loved this! Thank you Josh! I'm ordering a kit today.
Thanks. I had a good time geeking out with you. Please keep doing these vids.
I bought this kit a couple of months ago and it's been sitting on my dresser because I've been a little intimidated to jump into it. So excited to build this along with you
THIS IS SO AWESOME i can't wait to learn more. How the different transistors made such a huge difference was so cool, I am impressed. I was looking for this kind of introduction to building pedals, so neat
This is amazing! I’ve been hoping this would happen for a while and it was super educational ✌️
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've wanted to get into pedal building and watching your channel has inspired me to do it. I want to learn everything possible.
That was very cool to watch, love that kind of electronics! Can't wait to see the breadboard episode.
Please continue this series! Looking forward to the breadboard show
Kudos to you and Brian, Josh! Knowledge dissemination is what it's all about. 👊
One of the coolest videos you've ever put out, no joke. I've never built a pedal (just a collector), but I think I just might try it now!
definitely love this series! keep them coming!
Possibly my favourite episode so far and I've been watching for almost five years! 😃
Thanks, Josh!!! I had already built the same pedal. Wish I'd put in the transistor adaptors as you did to play around. Loved it!
Absolute love this and very stoked for this series!
Very educational Josh, keep on doing these types of videos please. Loved it.
Josh you have literally impacted my life today, I watched from beginning to end. Yes, I took a 3 hour nap with my wife halfway through because it really is ASMR. But I finished it and I was SO EXCITED to hear how quickly you could change the sound of the fuzz, and once I saw you go through the bin of capacitors and continium transfunctioners I lost my marbles. I knew I was going down a beautiful, colorful, spiky, rabbit hole filled with unsoldered resistors and transistors and insistors and desistors and prosisters covered in germanium gelatin. I have a small shopping cart on amazon with a work mat, a soldering iron (a decent one) and some solder and remover wick. I just wanna find a cool pedal and build my first one. It also got me curious about modifying my pickups, and then I saw a video of another guy making a pedal with 12 oscillating capacitors on it to help change the tone of the guitar pickups. Alice, I will find you in Pedal Wonderland!!!!
Wow! Josh, This is a really cool thing you've done here. Thank you.
Great video Josh. It's great to see a well explained and outlined instructional video. Old school electronics engineering - keeping it alive!
I hope more content like this keeps coming JHS awesome job
Blown away. Love it, mistakes and all. Best way to learn. Totally going to do this.
It took me three sittings to complete watching this video, but well worth it. Excellent job!
YES!!! This is what ive been waiting for! I need that schematic, to breadboard, to build, all back to back so it all makes perfect sense. Unfortunately college isn't showing it like that currently, and it's all a mess when starting out. So many holes in the knowledge. Thank you Josh! Please continue.
Just stumbled into this video; not sure how I missed it when it was first posted, but IT’S FASCINATING! I’m a civil engineer, so I’d say I’m fairly intuitive and mechanical, but electronics have always intimidated me. When I initially saw the parts for this build, I thought, yep, no way I could do that. But Josh has such an awesome way of explaining everything, and then to be able to actually watch him doing it, is just so cool! Now I want to build a pedal! Seriously.
On a related note, I have the Notaklon solderless pedal on pre-order and was a bit concerned about whether I could put it together. Not anymore. Thanks Josh, you are an awesome teacher!
Thanks Josh, this was awesome and I can't wait for the next
Oh yes! Thanks man, I bought a fuzz face clone kit for Christmas and not even taken it out of the bag yet due to time constraints. Now I'm inspired again
I just mean, Ohhhh Wow!!! The stuff you could do with a simple humble well produced video like this little gem of content I just watched!
This is great! Pretty stoked to ride along and learn!
Looking forward to the the next in this series! I got warm fuzzies from this and wasn't even watching live. Thanks for sharing!
learning so much from this video. i dont have any electrical engineering background our anything but i was glued to my screen. that socket thing with the transistors blew my mind.
Brilliant idea for a series! Love it.
Dude I love this! Thank you! I was just on stew mac’s site yesterday looking at these kits, I’ve always wanted to build pedals and amps
Just recently finished building you-Tuber tonegeek ts10 pedal build… and I am hooked. Josh great information, please continue this series!!
Love the new show, I hope there’s more. Very interesting
I am so freaking into this! I'm a flight simulator technician, I've worked on several military platforms and worked at the FAA's flight standards research and development platform where I was the lead tech. I've wanted to learn to build pedals forever. Thank you so very much for doing this. I hope you'll get way deep in the weeds on how to build great pedals.
Edit: spelling
This is go great, thanks for making this kind of content. I would love to watch more of this!
Love this type of stuff. Please keep it going! Thanks!
Thanks Josh this is super helpful and I hope you do more. Pedal ASMR!
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you and your 3 series fuzz IS my FAVORITE fuzz for soooo many reasons!
Keep modifying the fuzz, really learned a lot. Best video yet
That was awesome, really excited for part 2
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR DOING THIS JOSH! I HAVE, DREAMED, FOR A LONG TIME, ABOUT TRYING THIS BUT NEVER HAD THE GUTS TO TRY THIS.... BUT MAN, Your video goes me so much HOPE! When I finally get money again, I may go at this and get the same small Kit and wire it along with your video!! I really want to see the breadboard on the kit!!!!!!!!!!
Watching Josh nerd out building a pedal - that's entertainment!! Thanks!
Josh I definitely loved this episode. Definitely keep on with this.
thank you Josh! picked up many tips i hadn't learned yet as a builder
What a coincidence, I just recently bought a fuzz face clone kit off Etsy. Its gonna be my first build! It's nice to hear an industry professional talk more candidly about pedals/circuits/electronics. This can be a very overwhelming and daunting hobby to begin learning about but thanks for helping to clear up some of my stress and confusion! Excited to see more from this series.
Top job Josh. That's real life right there, own your mistakes and see it through to the end. Looking forward to the breadboard as I inherited a bag of fuzz face components in a box of bits that came with a fender body that I used to build a strat. There was also a 80's OD1 in bits that I managed to put together. Keep up the great work! Happily own an Angry-Driver pedal 👌 Cheers Adam
