diy effects for guitarists

Welcome to Build Your Own Clone. We are the world's premier
manufacturer of professional quality do-it-yourself effects &
electronics kits for guitarists.

B.Y.O.C. offers a full line of DIY guitar effects kits that are based on some of the most famous
circuits ever conceived and use top shelf components to provide you with superb sounding
boutique level effects pedals that are both fun to build and save you money. And you will also
enjoy your pedal so much more because you built it yourself (your friends will be thoroughly
impressed too!).
Our kits come with absolutely EVERYTHING you need to build a complete pedal right down to the
hook up wire. The circuit board is ready-to-solder and the enclosure is pre-drilled. The
only thing you'll need are a few basic tools and a little patience. And they're easy to build too. The
step by step instructions make it as simple as paint by numbers and the layouts are extremely
intuitive.
But the most important thing with any guitar FX stompbox is how the end result sounds and holds
up. A BYOC kit is not just some DIY project that simply "works". A properly built BYOC kit will
rival or surpass even the most coveted and expensive handmade versions of a comparable
circuit in tone, construction, and every other aspect of what makes pedal great.
With so many pedal companies that all seem to offer the same things, why not try something
different? Why not build your own clone and Take Tone Into Your Own Hands?

Starter Packages

This is the best way to go for anyone who wants to start building pedals but has no experience and
none of the tools required. One of our starter packages will save you money and get you building your
own guitar effects pedals as soon as you open the box. It comes with the Beginner's Tool Kit which
consists of a Solder Station; Economy Digital Multimeter; wire cutters; pliers; wire strippers, solder; and
desolder braid. It also includes our Confidence Boost Kit and Signal Tester Kit. The Confidence Boost
Kit is an extremely simple project that allows the builder to become familiar with various components and
get some practice soldering. The signal tester is perhaps the most valuable trouble shooting tool a
pedal builder can have. The starter package also includes either 1 or 2 of our most popular and
easy-to-build kits. Choose from 250+, British Blues Overdrive; Classic Compressor; Classic Overdrive;
Octave Fuzz; Scrambled Octave; or Tremolo kits.
