> I originally was considering something like Lava Cables or maybe even the Evidence SIS kit, but those seem to be unreliable enough to give me pause. So, now I’m thinking that I’ll buy some plugs and cable and solder them myself (important note: at present I don’t know how to solder, but it doesn’t seem complicated, especially since it’s only cables).

Seriously, its way easier than you think. you can honestly learn how to solder going from absolutely zero experience to being able to solder cables in under a half hour. Id actually bet it takes less time then having to learn how to use the solderless solutions, which are a massive hassle.

Just last month I taught my friend how to solder and he went from knowing nothing to putting together a sweet diy keyboard in a single night.

Its also dead cheap to solder your own cables. Even the more "premium" cables come in under $1/ft and you can get pancake plugs off tayda.com for $0.50 each. Compare that to evidence charging 8$ per plug

so some quick math to maybe convince you some more

Evidence audio SIS plugs = $8 each.

pancake plugs = $0.50 each.

you need 48 plugs

848= $384 for the SIS plugs.

$0.50
24= $24 for pancake plugs.

And then to add to that, the soldered plugs are going to be objectively more durable.

Also heres a little copy paste I made to help you know how little you'd actually need to spend to get started soldering. But if you have any other questions id be happy to help

if you don't plan on doing much soldering in the future and it's more of a one time thing, there's really no reason to get anything bore expensive than this. I spend easily 60 hours of solid soldering on the earlier version of this (same thing just without the leds) and I only ever replaced it because the tips were getting worn out (although you can replace the tips for cheap) and because I thought I deserved a more solid iron considering how much soldering I do.


if you do plan on doing lots of soldering in the future then I would recommend getting something other than a weller, they're honestly just one of those things that for years have been the industry standard but honestly have gone down hill. I've used a dozen different wellers, some old some new, some cheap some costing 300$ but none of them are really good. I, along with almost everyone in electronic repair industry like Luis Rossmann recommend a brang called hakko. I use atd absolutely love the hakko fx888d. It's really honestly just magic. It heats up to 700+ in under 30 seconds, with a live temperature readout (my old weller would take close to 15 minutes), atd the tips are really just magic, they just don't get corroded at all like every other brand I've used.



It's also worth mentioning for anyone new to soldering that the type of solder used makes a world of difference. What your going to want in rosin core, leaded solder (preferably 63/37 but 60/40 will work too). You want rosin core because it makes it a ton easier to not have to worry about flux, atd unless your doing really tiny electronic you won't need flux beyond the rosin core. You want leaded solder for a few reasons. First off, it melts at a way lower temperature (leaded solder melts at about 360f ish where lead free is closer to 460-480f, but saying that that's not at all the temps you wound use to actually solder at, it ranges from 400 - 700f depending on the application ). Leaded also has a way better surface tension, and melts more evenly, all this really just adds up to making it 100 times easier to work with, ESPECIALLY if you need to desolder anything.

u/quietphil · 4 pointsr/guitarpedals

if you're not interested in aesthetics and you want something fairly cheap, you can do what i did:

1.) arrange your pedals how you'd want them on the board and make sure to account for any other things you'd want to attach to it and measure the perimeter.

2.) drive on down to your local home depot or lowe's or what have you, and look for some boards that suit you. i don't know much about wood so this is where i can't really offer a suggestion, but you should be able to eyeball what would work and what wouldn't. ask someone to cut the wood for you in the dimensions you need. (they do this for free at home depot, but not sure about lowe's.) i got 1/2" thick because the 1/4" looked a little flimsy for the weight of the pedals.

3.) i recommend doing this step first, unless you can find it in a store near you, but i bought it on amazon. This velcro-ish tape is super heavy duty and actually sometimes hard to pull off once attached, but it did the job for me. I had about 8 or 9 pedals attached to the board and used two rolls with a little left over i think. for less of a death grip, try pairing it with regular velcro.

4.) with your freshly cut board and your super hardcore velcro, cut the velcro and attach it to the bottom of your pedals. i always try to put two small strips on each side of the bottom of the pedal because otherwise it'll lean one way or the other when you put your foot on it. It's more of just a feel thing. then, cut off some more velcro tape to hook onto the pedal velcro but don't take off the sticky stuff until you're ready to place it on the board.

5.) lay out the pedals how you'd like them on the board and maybe even draw the outlines around them so you know what goes where if necessary. When I was setting mine up, i was hooking the pedals up as i was placing them because i was really excited to try it out. But otherwise, peel off the sticky stuff and place them. Be sure to let them sit for about 24 hours before doing much else with it because the velcro tape needs some time to form a bond with what it's stuck to. (it's not permanent, but it sure tries to be.)

Once you're all plugged in and hooked up, you should be all ready to go. I recommend attaching a power strip with a fairly long cable to the board so you're able to have the power supply plugged into the board and use an extension cord without much mess. it seemed easier that way to me. if you want it raised, you can use the spare wood from when they cut it and nail it on the side farthest from where you'd be standing.

It won't be pretty, but at the end of the day, i didn't really care what it looked like so long as it allowed me to not have to spend half an hour setting up and tearing down any time i wanted to play somewhere with them.

u/buefordwilson · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

Like several others have mentioned, /r/diypedals is a good place to go. As long as we've got you here, though... I had already practiced soldering before and wanted to start with a kit. That way you have everything you need and just have to assemble. A very easy and inexpensive first build was [this] (http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/effects-projects/boosters/stratoblaster-booster/) boost pedal. Don't let the simplicity fool you. I still have this boost pedal on my board to this day and love it. Also, I picked up [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Weller-WLC100-40-Watt-Soldering-Station/dp/B000AS28UC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483458417&sr=8-2&keywords=weller+soldering+station) Weller soldering station. Crazy cheap, but I've been using it for over 6 years with no issues. Finally, just read, read, read and read some more! There's tons of great info in various forums, books and youtube videos to get you on your way. Best of luck and have fun with it!

u/solaris79 · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

Yeah. I got mine off of smile.amazon, and I'll say I was pleasantly surprised by it when I added it to the signal chain. I had watched a few reviews on YouTube, and it was getting a really positive vibe about it, so I just pulled the trigger. Same thing with the Mini-Spark. Didn't go for the bigger Spark because I didn't really need much tweaking for a clean boost, and that saved me about $30 in going that route. Sometimes simpler is better.

u/beachbuminthesun · 4 pointsr/guitarpedals

Essentially, yes - they're probably too cheap.

If you want good cables, you've got to pay up.

> look at getting something like a Radial ABY switcher

This is probably the issue but he might need more than an ABY because they typically only have a single input. It can help if you put it between your mono and stereo pedals, though. I have this one and it is a premium pedal made in Canada. It can also help if you have phasing issues between the two amps, which is why I bought it.

I would suspect that the ground loop might be eliminated by trying a power receptacle on another wall or from another room. If that doesn't fix it, you may want to buy a more high end power supply with reliable, transformer isolated power jacks and try not to daisy-chain any pedals if you can help it.

The bad news is, the best power supplies are kind of expensive. The good news is, the best ones last forever and you'll never have to worry if it's the problem, or source of noise again.

u/guybrush_threepwould · 3 pointsr/guitarpedals

Kokko Comp $26 all the way. If you're just getting into compressors it is (imo) the absolute best option. Sounds just as good as comps $80 more than it. If you decide you hate it, amazon's return policy is great. Oh and you can run it at 18v for more headroom and volume.



The Mooer Yellow Comp $52 would be my second suggestion but it also costs twice as much. Id choose this one if you are more interested in an optical comp.

Here's a video by Just Nick Music that explains comps really well. Comps can be a tremendous help with getting your sound just how you like it. Also experiment where you put it in your chain, there are no "right" answers and different placement will change the sound a lot.

u/squiresuzuki · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

Cool! Rehousing is fairly easy as well. You can even make it true bypass (behringers aren't) to avoid that ol' shitty-buffered-pedal-tone-suck.

Really all you need is a new enclosure. Like this: http://www.taydaelectronics.com/1590b-style-aluminum-diecast-enclosure.html

First take the guts out of the pedal. Then just drill the holes in the new enclosure and stick the pots/switch/jacks/power jacks right in along with the circuit board. Unless it's such a cheap pedal that somehow these components are built into the plastic housing, in which case you might have to get new pots/switch/jacks.

Not totally sure about this Behringer through now that I look at it. Might be more difficult considering it also has 3 way switches and a rotary switch. It's probably still very doable though.

If you're looking for a cheap delay you should check out the Joyo line...they are usually metal, have high quality true bypass switches, and are typically even cheaper than Behringer. Like this: http://www.amazon.com/Joyo-JF-08-Digital-stompbox-features/dp/B004FRHKA2/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1373925709&sr=1-1&keywords=joyo+delay. I'd imagine this would be very easy to perform that original mod I wrote out on. The Joyo doesn't have as many parameters to fiddle with, but from my experience with a fairly tricked-out TC Nova Delay you probably won't use all the stuff the Echo Machine has to offer (like reverse, stereo ping pong, etc).

Good luck.

u/eridal · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

Thanks for your response.


I have some of these and they work just fine but now I'm not sure if I should just get rid on them

Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000068O43

Do you think these type is also affected?

I could try with a couple of cables in between the pedals as a way to relief the whole system.

Thanks for letting me know. TIL :)

u/EHX_Engineering · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

BYOC and General Guitar Gadgets kits are a great start to learn how to solder and assemble. Electronic Projects for Musicians is a good book and Jack Orman's website, muzique is an incredible resource. Electrosmash is also awesome in their analysis of various famous circuits. I still reference that site every once in a while.

u/sixtwomidget · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

I’d recommend getting a pedal kit from BYOC . The other thing you can do is just just buy a bunch of hook up wire and some jacks and just practice. Another good soldering iron to start with in addition to the one above is the Weller WLC100. Good luck!

u/defimeshun · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

Pretty sure Santana uses a Tubescreamer.

You can pick up a Joyo Vintage Overdrive - a pretty faithful clone of the Tubescreamer - for around $30 dollars here on Amazon.

Turn down the tone knob on your guitar a little bit. Try different pickup combinations - not sure if your guitar is a strat style or les paul style, but switch between them.

I think you'll get pretty close by turning up the mids a bit, keeping the bass low but not too low, and the treble medium with your tone knob down. Experiment! Use your ears, and trust them.

Santana is also going to get a lot of his "sound" from the way he plays the guitar - phrasing, pick attack, blah blah blah, so don't expect to be right on immediately. Keep practicing and you'll get there!

u/mushy-potch · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

I got one of these Innogear PSU's a while ago and it's working out great for me so far. It's the only PSU I've had though, so I can't compare it to anything else. But for ~$40 it's great, and I haven't noticed any glaring issues.

u/Blackfire2x · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

I just bought the Walrus Audio Deep Six Compressor I have heard a lot of good things. I will let you know how it is when I get it in the mail. As for delays the king of all delays in my opinion is the Strymon Timeline however my first delay and a great starter is the MXR Carbon Copy which is an awesome analog delay

u/burkholderia · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

If you put in the time and effort you can pick it up fairly well. If you really want to get into design and modding and stuff I'd say find a few fairly simple circuits and socket a bunch of the components so you can see how changing various parts impacts the sound. This is supposed to be an interesting book from Brian Wampler. Most of the negative reviews basically bash it for basically taking informations and schematics you can find online and putting them into a book, but the analysis and organization helps you work through some of this stuff. This is another good one too from Craig Anderton. The Anderton tube sound fuzz is the basis for one of my got to distortions.

u/diegopx · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

I replaced the little rubber feet on each pedal with some small square cut outs of this stuff:


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004ZKIHVU


Word of caution: it’s extremely strong, so use sparingly. I like it better than regular velcro as the pedals sit flat and don’t rock around as much.

u/DetailsDetails · 4 pointsr/guitarpedals

I did and thank you! These Zip tie clips make all the difference in keeping organized. My string winder/cutter is also perfect for clipping zip ties short and quickly.

multi color gaff is also a great way to keep organized on power especially if you have varying voltages. Lost an older nobel odr1 that way :/

u/Dawboo · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

I just purchased a Joyo JF-01 for $16 dollars used off of amazon. The reviews looked pretty decent so I decided to give it a shot. Thanks for the input.

u/Splitsurround · 5 pointsr/guitarpedals

I think I'm about to make your day.


The El Cap CAN be "converted" to a stereo input: I use mine that way on my board. All you have to do is buy this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000068O54/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And then, before you connect it, open the pedal and change one jumper like it shows here:

http://www.strymon.net/faq/enable-trs-stereo-input-deco/

Done. Now you can just take the stereo outs of your 720 to your two amps.

One thing to note though: I have 3 Strymon pedals run this way (deco, flint and el cap) and for 2 out of the 3, the Hosa cable I got was fine on one input, but the other would NOT let me plug in my lava cable tightrope cable. Probably won't be an issue for you, but it was a giant issue for me.

Anyhow, I hope this helps you.

u/jlh52288 · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

Something like this? You can get straight ones too but I'm not actually sure what they're called. I use ones that are just slightly offset (not as much as the ones in the link) which is nice for linking pedals with their jacks at different heights.

u/dismitz · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

Cool! I’m gonna look into all of those! I also really like this reverb.

u/ansible47 · 4 pointsr/guitarpedals

If you're just a bedroom player who rarely goes above ~10-20w of volume and don't intend to get more than ~5-8 bread-and-butter pedals, a $30 Caline will treat you very well. Under good power conditions, without a lot of volume you'll probably will never notice the difference between this and a good power supply. They're solidly built boxes for the money, I was pretty impressed when mine arrived in the mail.

Otherwise grab an MXR M238 ISO Brick and be set for life regardless of where your habit will go. I can power 10 pedals of vastly different power requirements (Pigtronix is 18v 100ma, Whammy DT is 9v 300ma, etc.) without ever having to worry about noise. Hell, I can even use the MXR to power the Caline 5 directly, and at that point I've got a ridiculous number of outputs.

u/GeckoDeLimon · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

This unit is currently doing the Amazon Prime hustle to my door. Are they untruthful about the isolation?

I saw the lackluster reviews for people with big Strymon gear, but that's most definitely not me. The hungriest thing I've got is a Polytune.

u/2k4s · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

deoxit is even better for dirty scratchy pots. Also works on battery connectors and anything metal. It's not something you use every day. Depends on the humidity and salt where you live (ocean), how much you gig, if outdoors or not. Lots of fog/snow/bubble machines Etc. Also it depends on the type of metal in your connectors and jacks. If they are dissimilar it increases corrosion (science man!). In the studio it's a once every six months chore if the head tech is cool. Once a month if he's an asshole.

Surprised this doesn't get talked about more on here. Someone who has some oxidization on their pedal/guitar/amp jacks and a decent pair of ears can hear the difference after using a burnishing tool and some Deoxit. if you have oxidized jacks this will improve your tone whereas buying a $50 cable will do absolutely nothing.

u/NotSteveBuschemi · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

Actually it's a production model. If you didn't know that, you're welcome! Check it out http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Dunlop-MC403-Power-System/dp/B003KIL2L0. I would shop around for a price, I was able to get it for around $220.

u/rynlxndr · 3 pointsr/guitarpedals

I hope this stays on the front page.

I have the same question about the Caline CP-05! This one has a USA connector though. http://www.amazon.com/Cp-05-Guitar-Supply-Output-us-Digitech/dp/B00FS6SP5S

u/preciselydivided · 3 pointsr/guitarpedals

Thanks for all of your suggestions. My first step is going to be to determine whether the sound i'm looking for is analog, tape, or digital (thanks to /u/duffmcshark's comment).

The list so far of pedals to try:

u/minty901 · 3 pointsr/guitarpedals

Carbon Copy! He obviously has an affinity for MXR and the Carbon Copy is an amazing delay and something anybody could find a use for. http://www.amazon.com/M169-Carbon-Copy-Analog-Delay/dp/B0016ZZKJO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422297108&sr=8-1&keywords=mxr+carbon+copy

Most power adapters marketed for guitar pedals are regulated. I haven't seen a pedal that requires an unregulated adapter in years. the last unregulated pedal I bought was a big box EHX holy grail 14 years ago. Any power supply that says it is compatible with a boss PSA adapter will be regulated. also be careful. some of the PSU boxes have unregulated outputs to accommodate those older boss and EHX pedals. But here are some options that I know for certain are regulated and will work. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00191WVF6/ , http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002GZLZQ/ , http://www.amazon.com/BOSS-Audio-PSA-120S-Power-Adapter/dp/B0012BPMHW

I have never tried to maintain that many 9v batteries but it sounds like you won’t go wrong with the cheap power supply options. Splurge on the $40’dollar range 9v are what like 4$ a pop?

The Donner pedals, and most mini Chinese pedals, are powered by PSU only as they have no space for a battery. If you are gigging, you may be better with one of these:

On amazon it's selling for $118 which is still $20 cheaper for a pedal that will take up less board space.

Just a 2.1mm DC jack cable I suppose. I'd guess it'd be kinda hard to find those separately as they tend to just come with power supplies.

Cheapest I could find the real deal online was $4 each, so eight of those would come to $32, a little cheaper. If you want to do off-brand, these look cheap ($13 for eight) but I've never tried them:

I've not used than, but I would suggest looking at one of these. I've seen them in the $23-30 range shipped.

u/MateriaMedica · 4 pointsr/guitarpedals

It can be powered with a 9v battery which, if you're buying it new, there will probably be an EHX-branded 9v inside it already. That said, replacing 9v batteries adds up quickly (as long as you have a cable plugged into the pedal's input it is draining power from the battery, even if it isn't on), so you should invest in a power adapter anyway. Something like a 1-Spot would work with any pedal requiring 9v DC center negative power (look for this symbol near the pedal's power input). You can also plug in a daisy chain to power multiple pedals off of the same adapter.

u/Stanleeallen · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

Basically you want to split your effect at the delay, add tremolo to the wet signal. After that you want to add the wet signal back to the dry and run them into your amp, right?
 
That is essentially running a parallel fx loop. You will need something like this to plug the wet and dry signals back into before continuing the chain into your amp.
 
This is assuming that you don't want your dry signal to also be effected by the tremolo, otherwise just put the tremolo after the delay to effect both the dry and wet signals.
