DIY Guitar Pedal Building - Acapulco Gold Circuit Pedal Build With Gain Mod

Now then, welcome back to the channel. I little later today than normal because I've been frustrating over a guitar that should have only taken me 2 hours, still not done after 5hrs!! Anyway, today we are building the circuit for the Acapulco Gold from Earthquaker Devices. This one with a gain pot on the input to make the pedal a little more user friendly. Its so loud!! Thanks for tuning in guys! Hope you enjoy this video. Its a bit long. It was much, much longer but shortened it and sped it up where I could, but I still wanted you to get a full understanding of how much work goes into even a simple circuit. 00:00 01:54 How To Make Vero Strip Board Cuts 04:36 Making Links On Vero Strip Board 10:31 Fitting A Double Link On Vero Strip Board 14:16 Adding Components to Vero Strip Board 14:45 Adding Resistors to Vero Strip Board 17:12 Adding IC Sockets To Vero Strip Board 18:37 Adding Capacitors To Vero Strip Board 22:28 Fitting Integrated Circuit Boards IC's To Sockets On Vero Strip Board 25:00 Sound Check My Reverb store for pedals and other cool bits - https://reverb.com/uk/shop/matts-gear...
