Members Snakebite4767 Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 WOW... that' a really tough question. I think that the first thing would be to learn what the basic componets are, and what they do. Things like resistors, capacitors, inductors (coils) etc. You need to get a basic understanding of current flow in a circuit... its kinda like a water system in a house.. you know, if you open a facet, you have water flowing in the circuit.. in an electric circuit that equates to closing a switch. Understand the basic things.. eg, Voltage is equal to water pressure... it doesn't meant that any water is flowing, it just equate to the pressure. Current is equal to the actual flow of water. Necking a 1" pipe down to a 1/2" pipe restricts the amount of water flowing.... just like a resistor does. Learn ohm's law, E=IR.. E= the voltage, I=the current (amps), R=the resistance (ohms). Boy... go take a basic electronics class at one of the local schools.. you'll get the hang of it right away. Snakebite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members syscrusher Posted January 4, 2009 Members Share Posted January 4, 2009 http://www.educypedia.be/electronics/dataschematic.htm That's a good start. A nice long read for sure. You just got to jump in and experiment with something small. When electronic parts come in, it can get confusing for me still only because it's something I don't use everyday. Most of the parts are named for the what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoldierStape01 Posted January 4, 2009 Members Share Posted January 4, 2009 The Art of Electronics is a good place to start. Slightly wordy but great reading.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pissdrunx Posted January 4, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2009 I`ve done some pedal modding before, but now I wanna learn how to build basic guitar pedals. I don`t intent to build complicated stuff. I probably won`t be doing my own designs, I just wanna be able to find a schem and the be able to build a pedal on a perfboard. Thank you for the replys so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
