Re: A/B/Y pedal
Do you think this would be a good starting point for someone to start making pedals? I'm keen to get into it but with little knoledge and experience I'm struggling to figure out where to start! Any suggestions?Zaulkin wrote:I've got a schem for a simple A/B pedal (I wish it had a tuner out though) if it helps I've attached it to this post.
