Learn how to build a distortion pedal! No previous music or electronics experience necessary, but some soldering experience would definitely come in handy. We will be teaching you how to build a clone of the Proco-Rat distortion pedal, including machining and designing the enclosure, working from the schematic and using a breadboard to test the design, soldering components onto a printed circuit board, and fastening everything to the case. We will also teach you the basic physics behind the design of the pedal, and why it distorts the instrument's tone.

There will be a wait-list if more than 10 people sign up.
