image of buildyourownclone kit
I have been recently researching some “do it yourself” guitar effects kits and during my research forum user mcconnachiea posted this great list of links in the forum. Such a good list has to be saved and shared. Please drop a comment on this post if you have some other favorite fx builder sites or if you want to share your diy effect pedal building experiences.
This huge list of links should be plenty to get your started researching the diy side of guitar effects.
