Your Own
How do you design your own guitar effects pedals?
I have built a few BYOC kits, and know how solder and understand the different components. But I was wondering, what if you want to come up with your own, completely original design. Where would you go to learn the theory behind using certain combinations of parts to make certain sounds? Is it all experimentation? Or is there some logic to it?
There is a logic to it, but it is built more on understanding the sound formation of the effect rather than the electronics. If a particular effect involves duplicating part of signal and delaying it – like the guy I heard singing in church where he suddenly sounded like several people singing is slight chorus, then you have to realize it is duplicates of his voice slightly delayed and mixed back in – so you have to make a delay circuit or circuits and control the delay with the foot pedal resister and then mix the output of the circuits – it may also involve adjusting the volume so the loudest is in the middle of two or more lower volume ones – i.e. the ‘real’ voice we identify as leading is actually the highest volume delay, the first voice is cut back.
The foot pedal may be changing the cut off point(s) of a filter, changing the mix, etc., but the sound change is identified first.
