i want o build a boost pedal. nothing fancy. no tubes or anything. something like an mxr micro amp. i just need something to do over the summer. to build a pedal do you have to do all that etching stuff on the copper board. cant you just use wires or will that not work. im good with electronics but the thought of having extremely corrosive liquid in front of it scares the crap out of me.
no you don't have to etch the board yourself. There are plenty of D.I.Y. pedals and the boost pedal is a great one to start with. There are quite a few websites that have D.I.Y. kits available. Check with the guitar player magazine site for related links. I have seen some boost pedal kits advertised in GP. good luck!
