Building a pedal or two is something every guitar effects nerd should do at some point in their career. Players who have money coming out of their ears and really hate making things, then I suppose you should avoid it, but for everyone else, the cons are nonexistent. It’s one of those things that the curious can take as far as their skills and interests allow, whether they just want to build a couple of fuzz pedals for themselves, or they end up diving headfirst down the rabbit hole and making a serious hobby or small business out of it. Either way, players are bound to gain valuable knowledge and develop useful skills that they didn’t have before, and when they’re done, they’ll have a few new pedals with which they can whoop up a fierce racket for years to come. Get building, friends. ToneReport.com 17
