homemade pedals

[purple_fuzz]

i dunno if there is already a thread about this, but recently i have started thinking about making a custom pedal at home and since i wouldnt have a clue where start i thought it would be cool to have a thread that explained how to do so. So any tips or recommendations would be awesome?

I would LOVE to take this up as a hobby, but it seems pretty difficult for me since I can’t even replace the pickups in my guitar.

im a very DIY kinda person especially when it comes to music and art stuff–just read up and try–thats all im doing when it comes to this pedal thing–ill probably run into a lot of trial and error though
