Welcome! It's good to have an EE on board.   

The "pros" that sell a lot of the boutique pedals often have a rather negative view of EEs in general. And it's mostly because EEs *know* that many of the claims made in the marketing are total horseshit. 

I'm sure many of us will be interested to pick your brain on why certain things work they way they do.

Thanks! I will try my best to keep up!

Thank you for the kind words and advice.

The work that I am putting in to these projects is pretty much for myself. Not trying to make a gig out of this. Purely curiosity and an inner passion to create something using the bits of knowledge that I have gained here and there, both technical and non-technical.

I feel like it will be a battle between what sounds right and the math checking out for me, but I will fight it to the bitter end! It all comes down to a healthy balance.

Hi all, new here.

I have an electrical engineering background (currently finishing up school) and I guess that sort of mentality has stayed with me for designing projects. I am really interested in guitar effects and I am starting to dive a bit deeper into design.

When it comes to audio, what is heard definitely attributes to effects are designed and I am slowly getting a better ear for this stuff, but it is a steep curve considering my background.

I am wondering if anyone is either in the same boat as myself, have been, or is on the other side of the spectrum and has less of a technical background but a good ear for designing.

How do you approach a new design?

Cheers,
JP
