Learn how to build a delay 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 delay pedal, including machining and designing the enclosure, working from the schematics, as well as assembling and soldering components onto a printed circuit board, and fastening everything to the case. We will also teach you the basic principles behind the design of the pedal, and what exactly it is doing to the instrument's tone.
