It’s fair to say that most guitarists are stuck in the past. We love vintage style guitars and retro effects pedals, and luckily the latter aren’t all that complicated. If you’ve ever seen inside an original Fuzz Face, you’ll be aware of just how little there is in that circular enclosure.
So, for that reason, we suggest starting with a basic fuzz or even a rudimentary boost pedal. These pedals usually have very little in the way of components and can typically be built very quickly.
Once you've mastered these circuits, you can move on to the more complicated delay and modulation style effects.
