My components came today!

Yup! 3/4 of my stuff has arrived in the mail and i've just spent and hour and a half sorting them all out into different containers for the 2 effects. Now I'm gonna spend another half an hour double and triple checking!

I got my components from www.futurlec.com.au, my 3PDT from ebay and other stuff from jaycar

My first project/s

Hello there. My name is Timothy Bulaon aKa sasuke_kun12 and I am very glad that you are joining me on this fine hobby of mine. I only started getting into building effect pedals like 2 months ago. Here in this blog, I will be documenting every little detail and every little method on my builds. And as always I will be providing heaps of pics. Now that the introductions over let me tell you my first project

Rebote Delay 2.5 from www.tonepad.com

Yesh, my first project is the Rebote Delay from TonePad. Hopefully, I'm gonna mod it so that I can have 600ms of repeats and I can adjust the oscillation. I wanted to build this pedal because

a) I don't have enough cash to buy a boss DD-3
b) I want a decent analog delay to go with my multi-effects

My second project is the DS-1 clone from www.tonepad.com. If you don't know what the DS-1 is, use google. Its your best friend. The DS-1 is ultimately, the best distortion pedal you can get at a decent price. And why am I building it? Because I can. Yeah ya!

If you need to know:
I play G-tar and Bass with the latter being my preferred instrument, although I'm slowly making guitar my first.
I've beeen playing for 3 years
I half own a black yamaha bass and a blue sunburst Casino Stratocaster with Kent Armstrong pickups. The pick ups are installed into original fender scratch plate, knobs and switches
My effects are Zoom 3000 guitar player multi-effects, Boss Compressor/Sustainer and VOX v847 Wah
All my stuff (besides guitars and wah) I've gotten off ebay

Cya in the next post!
