How I set up my breadboard to design guitar pedals


In this video, I’ll go a bit into how I design effects using a breadboard, I touch on my process and I also explain how you can set up your own breadboard for fun and nerdy circuit pleasure.

If you like videos like this let me know… or if you have topics you’d like me to discuss or demonstrate, post a comment below.

  • I can't say just how inspired I am to see this board setup. You totally got the gears turning for my prototype board setup.????

  • Im trying to remember, either WAMP,er or another well known pedal builder was selling a breadboard circuit board which handled true bypass, input, output, power, and much other so one could use it and connect to a breadboard and just concentrate on the breadboard signal circuit. Was sort of an ideal upgrade from this. I tried to buy one but they were sold out and the builder replied that they should be making more soon. This was many months ago and now I can’t find it again. Any ideas?

  • A paintbrush is a must have for dusting pedals and amps and guitars! No joke!

  • thats an awesome prototyper! this video is EXACTLY what i needed to see, even when we both got distracted by your amps haha

    why cant i find any other videos with other peoples breadboard prototyper setups? eitherway, your video was perfect and i dont really need to see anyone elses. THANKS!

  • Sorry I know this was 5 years ago but I’m just wondering if you have a “Power Supply” circuit powering your breadboards. If so, what does it look like? I know there’s often a resistor first, then diode, then some caps etc. just wondering what your schematic is. Thanks!!!! I love learning from you

  • My favorite breadboarding tip from this video is the part where you get to have 100 amps

  • Love your setup. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to borrow your design to build one of my own. Thanks for the inspiration.

  • Where do you go now that Small Bear is gone? I like Banzai, and a couple others, but haven't yet found a supplier as good as Small Bear. And I love their own enclosure design, I have PCBs made for that enclosure that won't have homes.

  • Excellent tip on looking at the camera! I have learned so much about electronics from your videos, thank you!

  • Brian – Stop making faces in photos fronting your videos. Leave that to others who think it's funny, but don't realize it's not.
