http://www.fillmorepedal.com This video tutorial will tell you how to make your own circuit boards for guitar effects. There are hundreds of great gadgets out there and a lot of the good ones don’t come in a ready-to-build kit So I teach you how to make your own circuit board. This method uses acids that etch copper so follow the safety instructions. In this lesson I etch the circuit board for the Ampeg Scrambler. Then I go on to Part II and actually build the project using this circuit board made here in Part I. Finally, I have 2 audio Demos of playing the Ampeg Scrambler effect a wild, wooly and crazy giutar effects pedal from 1969
The Soundtrack is an original copyrighted work written and performed by me entitled “Holy Grail Blues Image”. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
If you want to continue one to Part II which covers assembling the circuit board it is here

and Part III which is where to buy parts and how to find the plans for building your own effects is here

Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question…
Q: I would like to ask you how to set up amplifiers for different purposes. I use a Fender Stratocaster and an Epiphone hollow body electric guitar I use a Fender Deluxe 50 Watts all tube amp. I also have a Line 6 POD which I use for effects. Can you explain to me how to approach setting my amp bass, treble, middle, presence, master levels.
1). In order to get a clean bright jazzy sound like George
Benson, or Wes Montgomery with my Epiphone?
2). To get a clean country style rhythm sound with my
Stratocaster?
3). To get a distorted or overdrive sound for a guitar solo
similar to; for example Foreigner, or David Gilmore?
4). Also would be interested in other sounds such as metal.
- Thanks,
David, Queens NY.
A: Pursuing sounds between; amps, guitars and effects units can be a long and often frustrating journey. And, just when you think you’ve got that perfect sound at home… You’ll get to the gig and your amp could mysteriously sound terrible. In this video I will discuss various common settings for; Country, Jazz, Rock and Metal.

http://www.elitetone.com the Filmore Thunder Silicon BC108 Fuzz with a Clean Octave combo pedal. Very cool…great for both singing leads, or crunchy tones. I really dig the build on this one….much more useable on the single notes than a typical octafuzz design. The octaves are audible on every string…very cool!
