Electronics can count as a craft can't it?
carrotosaurus:
They're all built from kits. I'm thinking about designing my own/pulling some schematics off the web and soldering a blank board, but I'm in the process of moving and need to setup a desk for such projects. My friend and I are thinking about designing some of our own pedals and going into the boutique guitar FX pedal business. It's very lucrative, from what I hear...
I grabbed a couple different kits off http://www.buildyourownclone.com/ and built them. Very good sounding boxes. What I have currently is:
Compressor
Digital Delay
Tremelo
MK II Tonebender
And I'm working on a Lazy Sprocket right now. All of the pedals sound FANTASTIC. I highly recommend them, especially because you'll be able to get some pretty amazing tones on the cheap.
roulettescars:
Damn, I'm deffinatly going to check into some of those pedals. Are they very difficult for a first time electronics constructor? Or can you recomend anything to practice with that i could probably find lying around the house gathering dust?

Holy crap man I want to build a fuzz pedal.

I've known about that site for a while and they have some cool shit but I haven't really had access to a soldering iron.
There's one at the guitar shop I recently started working at. It might be a cool project.
So far I've just been learning to wire guitars though. Amps and pedals are much more difficult.

I built a compressor, it is really fun making thinks. Also having a soldering iron is so handy if you are prone to breaking leads, i havn't had to buy a lead in ages, you can just buy the lead wire and get some of the jacks and then make up your own leads any length you want.
