anyone any good links to DIY bass stompboxes? by "good" i mean ones that don't just sell a kit, that advise what components to buy and how to build the pedal. anyone?
Well normally the kits come with the components already that you would end up buying and they also tell you how to put it together. Im not sure what you mean by the question...?
The only other thing I can think is that you want links to schematics and PCB layouts? Then you would have to go and buy the bits and install them as per the layout.
look up bazz fuss. It's a very simple DIY design for bass fuzz.
Not completely my cup of tea but a good starting point.
If you're looking for distortion that is.
