As part of my Capstone project for school, I’m going to be building an guitar effect pedal. I got a kit from the Build Your Own Clone web site. I wanted to start with the tremolo because it seems to be less complicated than the others and I haven’t done a lot of electronics building before. Well, not that requires soldering, anyway. I’ll try to put up pictures as I go and audio samples when I’m done. I’ll probably get started on it next week.

Unfortunately, I don’t get to keep the pedal… it was purchased using my lab fee, so the school gets to hang onto it when I’m done. Oh well.

I’ve been thinking about putting together one of these:

I got the idea from an article over at Gizmodo (where I got the picture from). I’ve got an old laptop lying around and a CRT monitor I haven’t been able to sell, so I think I might try it, but a little differently.  I might even go for a full-fledged arcade machine, but that might limit the usefulness of the thing.
