Thanks all, This is all a great help.
Just ordered my first batch of parts for my first project. i'll let ya know how it goes, maybe a video of me being either noisy with my new toy or of me hitting it with a big hammer because it doesn't work!

Hello all,

            I'm new to this Great site here, some excellent advice found already but i have one question of my own!
I work in a guitar shop and have done a small amount of basic soldering and am not completely alien to the world of musical equipment in all its wonderful and baffling varieties.
I am however totally green with electronics and reading schematics.
Can anyone recommend a good starting point, reference book or tutorial?
I've searched online and the amount of different types of 'electronics' guides from wiring aircraft to building computers that come up is amazing.
Is there something along the lines of or considered as a pedal building bible?!
I'm confident of sticking a simple project together but would love to actually know what each components job is and how swapping out different diodes will change the resulting sound etc...
I found one by a Brian something who makes and sells some nice looking stuff but its been discontinued!
Thanks in advance

Oceansize are utterly amazing, real shame they split this year.
Mike the singer now plays second guitar with Biffy Clyro, while the rest of them all have there own side projects including the rancid yet excellent 'Kong' including Mark and Steve H, drummer and bassist respectivley.

I've seen them about 15 times!

Not a huge geek as such i had the privilage of playing with them.......
Though i am a bit of a Sizegeek!

Anyway, im new on here and intend to delve into the world of pedal making.
nice to meet you all!
