Guitar Pedal Workshop - San Diego City College

Build a Custom Overdrive Pedal, and make it sound like you want!

Description

Build a Custom Overdrive Pedal, and make it sound like you want!

During this workshop, you will build your own AUSTINDRIVE guitar pedal using hand tools, soldering irons, and electrical tools. Following the AUSTINDRIVE Tutorial and videos (below), YOU will solder components to a printed circuit board, then audition and install the components that will define your own overdrive sound. If you don’t like it… change it! You are in charge of the sound. Drive and tone can range from smooth blues, to 60’s Fuzz, to metal. It truly is “building” and “designing” a custom guitar pedal that you will be proud to use for years.

Notes: There is limited time at the workshop, so it is required that you download and view the plans and videos beforehand, so you know what to expect and your build goes as smoothly as possible. A liability waiver signed by a parent/guardian is required for minors.
