Ill personally be adding the epoxy before I give it to my friend. This will help prevent shorts, as well as just keep everything neat.
Most people tend to fasten it with an epoxy or super glue. This is where you can do pretty much whatever you want, from multiple coats of airbrush, to some spray paint, it doesn’t really matter.Īfter all this is done, put your components inside. After that simply drill a hole on the top for your switch. Now, you can either find a jack for the 5v power supply, and then drill the hole for it, or you can use a 5v battery, I chose the battery because I have the room for it in the case. This is especially true in the smaller 1590a cases that you might start using soon. Why? because, especially in the smaller cases, the jacks will touch each other. Drill on each side of the case, I like to not make the holes line up. Since we’re using a 1/4” jack use a 1/4” drill bit. I found it easier to use a drill press, but I have no doubt a normal drill can do this. Once I finished the soldering of the board I start on wiring up the body. I personally just followed the PCB schematics for the board because it seemed like good placement, and it made everything a bit easier. You can see my board kind of looks like a Frankenstein of weird parts and oddly put together. Another benefit of a pcb is that it’ll look much prettier. We sell the pcb kit if you would rather etch your pcb. Etching a pcb is actually surprisingly easy, and makes everything much easier when putting it together. In terms of soldering, any of our soldering irons we sell would work well for putting together perfboards, there is also a PCB schematic you can make.

Remember if you upgrade the size then you have to upgrade the size of the pedal housing. I recommend, if you wanna upgrade and add things, to buy a bigger perfboard. With the 20 hole perfboard I was able to fit everything on it perfectly. I’ve uploaded pictures so you could tell where everything is at on my board. I put the ICS smack in the middle because, from the schematics, everything else seems to be equal on each corresponding side of the ics. I started out with a little 20 hole perfboard and started figuring out where to lay everything. Considering retail of a TS808 is $180 I thought this was pretty good deal. All the parts together ended up running me about 30 bucks.
But the parts that I listed is the classic ts808 clone.
#CANVAS 101 GUITAR PEDAL CLONE LIST MOD#
In terms of the parts I personally used I deviated a little bit (because why make my own if I cant mod it?). All the parts were really easy to find/order, and I managed to get everything I needed in about 3 days.

Those two parts were the only ones I could not find at Circuit Specialists and if that changes ill update the blog with the new parts list. I picked them up from my local guitar center. Of course Circuit Specialists had about 99% of the parts, the only parts I had to hunt down was the 1/4” audio jacks (you’ll need two), a two pin foot switch. So if you’re just starting out and don’t want to build the classic rc car or clock that everyone has to make in the engineering 101 college class, then this may just be your project.Īfter getting all the schematics and parts lists together I went on the hunt for my supplies. As it turns out, the DIY guitar pedal community is huge! A lot of people agreed that the TS808 was a great beginners pedal build, and in my opinion guitar pedals are great intro to circuitry. So I did what I always do when I start a project, I looked it up on google. If you do not know what a TS808 is, it is a very popular (and somewhat simple) distortion pedal. For the last month my friend has been begging me to build him a TS808 clone.

Today I’m going to teach you how to build a guitar pedal.
