I think the links in the thread currently would give you enough projects to keep you busy for a lifetime. Enjoy!

My personal faves: Tube Reamer, Bazz Fuss, and Sparkle Drive.

^ Built a Bazz Fuss, gotta admit: it kicks major arse! I found I liked a 4.7uf in // with a 2.2uf for the input cap. man, talk about freakin THICK!

Check out Craig Anderton's website (www.craiganderton.com). He designed a lot of DIY projects for the amateur effects hound.

I thought "there's no way some little DIY thing with a few radio shack parts could sound like a wall of distorted bass." I was blown away with heaviness.

Re: DIY pedals

I used to have dozens of links for various DIY sites with schematics but that was a couple of computers ago. I liked the idea of building them I just didn't like the cost involved.
