Members meep Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 Of course we are here to talk DIY, but it would be cool to have a list of references to useful information / cool places. Useful:http://www.guitarnuts.com/index.php Lots of useful guitar wiring tips, tips for amp design etc. Cool:http://www.4mspedals.com/ Hand made pedals to completely custom specification and kits for off kilter designs for normal things such as phasers etc. They'll freely distribute schematics also for those who want to go it alone.

Members Sir H C Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 www.alliedelec.com has good parts selection too. E-bay can be a great resource, old transistors, pots, and other cool bits. Sometimes the costs are more than from other suppliers, sometimes not, you have to watch what you are bidding on. And never forget www.arrl.org , check the link for hamfests. These are used electronics fleamarkets. Often you can get the greatest scores at these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember that with the different skill levels, safety should be emphesised and expanded on when appropriate. Let's avoid the need to call 911 for anybody;) Good point. I recommend everyone who is considering a DIY amp project or trying their hand at mods or repairs read the Tube Amp Safety Info at Drifter Amps Also, there is a good article on shock hazards we all face when playing through electrified instruments and why we should NEVER EVER defeat the ground lug on a piece of equipment at Guitar Nuts. One other place worth mentioning to DIYers is Paul Ruby's Amplifier Site which includes, among other things, outstanding step-by-step instructions on how to start a new amp build for the first time and how to trouble-shoot unwanted noise in an amp.
