I can't imagine another part of the guitar world where giants like Brian Wampler and Josh Scott would take their time to show you how they work and share their passion. Pedal builders are a different kind of of people. THANK YOU!!!

[@PretentiousAlias]

It would be cool to see future circuits in the order they were designed, seeing how new ideas were built upon existing ones. Glad you're doing more of these Short Circuit episodes!

[@michaelgriffin5304]

Here because I was thinking about getting Brian's course about building pedals. The comment about him being the OG helped make my decision.

[@wookbucket]

MORE MORE MORE! Fuzz and overdrive examples please! And also a video explaining how you go from a finished bread board design to building it into a pedal please!

[@languid100]

The transistor base is not biased to 4.5V. It should be 0.7V above emitter voltage and the collector is traditionally biased to 4.5V. Then again I could be wrong...

[@jhspedals]

Nope. You are correct! I explained the divider wrong 👀

[@m.a.6478]

@@jhspedals A copy from my other comment (for the nerds stumbling over this one): The goal is to get 4.5V accross the collector resistor when you have no AC input. This gives you +/- 4.5V swing at the output (in an ideal world). Then you calculate your collector current. 10k would give you I_C = 4.5V/10kOhm = 450uA. The voltage accross the emitter resistor is 450uA*360 Ohm= 0.16V. The base to emitter diode gives you 0.7V. The base voltage divider needs thus to be at 0.16V+0.7V = 0.86V. This gives you the values in the voltage divider ratio: 0.86V/9V = 0.096, let's round that to 0.1. If you compare that to the actual voltage divider: 100k/(830k+100k) = 0.11, which is close enough to 0.1. To know which resistor values to pick, you need to take into account your base current. The The transistor amplifies with a factor of roughly 300. Your input current at the base is 450/300 = 1.5uA. To get this circuit to operate properly the rule of thumb says you should have more than 5 times (I normally do 10 times) the current through your voltage divider compared to the base current. To check that: 9V/930k = 9.7uA. --> 9.7uA/1.5uA = 6.5.

[@VesselForHonor]

YESS THANK YOU JHS IVE WANTED THIS EVER SINCE I WAS BORN, PLEASE DONT STOP THIS SERIES!!! It’s so awesome you explain what the parts are actually doing to the sound. I’ve been struggling understanding op amps recently, hope yall eventually do something with those

[@AndrewWukusick]

THIS is my favorite kind of content. The LPB-1 was the first pedal circuit that got me into pedal building, and I've built different versions, variations, and mods of this and have settled on a souped out design with switchable caps, switchable clipping, and emitter gain onto a potentiometer. Just that one pedal into an amp gives me almost every sound I could ever need (minus modulation/delay/reverb). The LPB-1 is such a simple yet fantastic circuit, and like you said doesn't get the attention or recognition it deserves anymore.

[@coppersoundpedals]

It's such a legendary circuit.

[@alyssonfacanhamoreira3256]

Breadboarding a reverb circuit would be sick. Awesome content as always

[@geckoram6286]

Finally, coursing an electric technology class was useful for something, I understand what he's saying!

[@mashthebuttonalready]

Josh's teaching is spot on. This is super similar to an electronics tech course i had at community college. Look forward to more.

[@derekfricano4118]

This was awesome... I've been able to assemble BYOC-type kits where the instructions aren't schematics, so this helped me to really start to understand a little of that world. One thing I would LOVE to see is how to use a multimeter in the context of building pedals-like what are the common functions necessary to troubleshoot my build when it inevitably goes a little sideways?

[@KetogenicGuitars]

As a beginner I found it more relaxed to work with 9V battery. Make it rechargable too. I screwed two 9v battery holders to breadboard environment to easy access. From that point on it is the same as here. The thing is that if I had used a powerful wall wart I had burned things on bread board without knowing and then got very fustrated in the beginning of the pedal mogul career. A 9V battery is very forgiving. So the burning happened to me anyway with wall warts and I learned to use battery. The second time around I got much further. Now it is third time and I seem to know quite alot of this stuff already. One thing to do to ease the hard work is to use LTSpice simulator where ever you can to get some sensible idea of the circuit and biasing and frequency response and then go on with building and listening the real thing. It is an iterative process and you learn what can and what cannot be simulated. The clean signal paths of circuit can be simulated but when there is complex distortion interaction it is harder but still helpful to know the biasing voltages and expected current magnitudes and so on. I wonder why Josh did not break the rules and put the straight line sound out for all the folks. No camera or amp or mic of any kind - just direct sound of that circuit on the line as a big mess but crystal clear to observe. That would bring the differencies of components loud and clear to be sensed. It would not be how the circuit would be used but it is up to the user to learn to match the gear. The user must do it anyway in some stage. Now the through the amp and speaker situation which all the other channels use too always hides the actual meaningful differencies in the circuit under the observation. It would be really nice to hear that direct guitar to circuit with all the glory of its badness listened on hifi system just the way the signal lives on the wire at the point before it hits the amp and then speaker. It is the speaker that tames the harsh sounds of any amp or pedal so it can be counted out by not applying it and listening at much lower volume so that it can be tolerated. But there is an alternative if speaker must be considered or used for taming the harshness. The active audience should have the same experience. People have so many different kind of guitar speakers which all sound different that actually demoing circuits if a speaker is used should be done using digital version of speaker i.e impulse response which anyone can download from internet. It could be JHS product or acessory. It is very easy to program. And if the audience use a good pair of headphones the experience is closer to similar. There is already one such free IR product but I leave to Josh to point it out if he is truely serious about it. All that said this is absolutely one of the greatest videos about how the breadboarding should look like.

[@CarolMatzPiano]

OMG! Josh is a fantastic teacher...I had so many "lightbulb over my head" moments -- it all made sense, it all came together, and I finally understand a breadboarded circuit for the first time. I now understand how you actually do what you do...I'm inspired. MORE PLEASE!

[@Casey-hz1sn]

My thoughts exactly, it’s been neat seeing other people chime in with similar aha moments.

[@coppersoundpedals]

Couldn't agree more and love to hear this! :)

[@Mr.Owl9]

Thank you so much Josh, I have been waiting for this video since you mentioned you would do this in your first breadboard video, I really hope you continue with this and teach us more. I would be very interested in a video on how to build and modify the Distortion plus because it seems to be the design where every distortion started !!!

[@PedalChainsAddiction]

I’d love to see a phaser or a chorus breadboard. This is a dream-come-true series. Thank you!

[@Hempman2000x]

I gotta say, you've really opened my eyes and mind into how the breadboard actually works. It's significantly less daunting and I'll likely have one within a couple week.s

[@gerongrahamgg]

Was really excited for tutorials when he made the OG video a while back. Im glad he's doing this! Josh is a huge inspiration to me. Keep it up guys! Love from Dallas

[@MYGAS21]

I loved this! Didn't know about the substitution boxes. One way of choosing a project would be that the circuit belongs to a vintage something not available any more OR something available but quit expensive. I for example would be motivated to make a BUMBLEBUZZ even though if I remember correctly it has quit a few components, exactly for that reason.

[@jbrrrrrrrrr]

Please make so many more of these. And also to anyone that's involved in the nitty-gritty of designing the super specific and niche circuitry that we all geek out over - the inside look into the thought process is really cool and will help inspire new generations of builders to keep all this moving along when AI is playing guitar for us in twenty years

[@gabriel77196]

Sometime ago i did my first adventure in electronics and breadboarded a Harmonic Percolator with my dad. It worked! (For 5 minutes) I really would love to see a JHS video on the Harmonic Percolator one day, don't recall Josh mentioning it.

[@morsleyg]

I literally just bought a similar breadboard for prototyping Eurorack modules, and now you show us one for pedals. I hope Coppersound send you a nice gift basket.

[@buckstarchaser2376]

This must have been live while I was watching reruns of the JHS show and building my first kit. I now have a Klon Klone, and the buffer is really lowering the interference that was keeping me from using all the amp and guitar knobs. I'm glad to watch those specialized breadboards in use, as I ordered a couple but they got misdirected in shipping, and seeing one in use raises my spirits.

[@chasegassaway]

After all the years of wonderful JHS shenanigans and their sharing of knowledge…this might be my absolute favorite video because of the comprehension gap I have lacked for so long. It’s so simple. Thank you, Josh!

[@Casey-hz1sn]

Yeah was a really good breakdown of things. I think it’s easily to conceptualize some aspects of electrical engineering as it relates to music gear. However, it’s when you can see how the electrons flow through the circuit at each stage and have it broken down like that, it makes it actually much less abstract and inaccessible.

Thank you. I love this. My son is playing guitar and I want to support him find the sound he likes without going bankrupt. This is very helpful!

[@MYGAS21]

What would be exceptional, and modern is to mod CV inputs to control for example capacitance nodes in the circuit using some sort of variable capacitor and modulate timbral characteristics with an LFO. ... I don't know if that is even possible, so forgive me if my specific example is stupid .... but I DO know that it in general principal its the future.

This was so awesome! I don't regret making my own DIY breadboard, but I super would not have done that if these would have been around. And, they're pretty affordable. I want to buy all of those substitution boxes... Future idea for you, Josh, would be a video on taking something from a breadboard to a pedal/guitar. Stereo jacks, stomp switches, LEDs, etc. are all things that are slightly tricky and I know you would explain it in such a great way. Also, there are other folks that do this, but I think you would be so good at explaining in down-to-earth terms- some of the "here is how this effects the circuit" concepts. The way you referenced the voltage divider, it would be great to hear you describe different types of tone circuits, a bias control, things like that. Keep doing these please!!! But, I'll watch whatever you guys put out. Thanks!

When I saw the circuit I said to myself: That's the circuit from my second year of apprenticeship as an electronics technician. That's the one you got to know by heart and dimension it out of your head just by looking at it. One thing the teacher insisted on was to put a cap accross the emitter resistor to kill some RF.

[@nopenheimer]

please give us details.

[@m.a.6478]

@@nopenheimer When I went to Wikipedia I found out, that the German speaking world has a different, in my opinion more systematic, way to describe transistor circuits. We speak of three basic circuits and this one is called "Emitterschaltung" if you search for this term in the German Wikipedia, you find exactly the circuit Josh explains in the Video. You can switch the language to read in English. You find another comment of me where I explain the biasing circuit.

This thing has been made for over 55 years. The first version plugged into your amp and you plugged your guitar into it. I bought one in either 1969 or 1970.

Well I’m hooked. This is rad. Thanks Josh.

[@Casey-hz1sn]

Watched this last night and I definitely would love to see more of these. It was an interactive way to put together the concepts and see an application. I’ve wanted to learn more about reading schematics and making my own effects but this format seems easier to absorb everything. I’d love to learn more about an EQ pedal, graphic or parametric. I’m interested in layering a lot of sounds so maybe want to grasp eq so maybe I can build something related to it in helping carve out frequencies as I layer sounds. I’m bummed that I think I inadvertently put my Panther Cub v2 into the wrong slot on my Cioks (which I think is maybe what happened since it stopped working a while back) it was a big part of my sound so maybe even an idea of how to recreate something similar for myself.

Funny, I was just rewatching You Can Build A Fuzz Face, the pilot episode of Short Circuit, and was thinking to myself "I wonder if Josh is ever going to get around to doing more of these Short Circuit videos?" Even though I had seen this Episode 1 video in my KZbin feed, I kept glossing over it thinking it was an older video for some reason. Glad to see Josh has gotten back around to doing these! And fortuitous timing as I finally bit the bullet and decided to start building my own pedals. All of my pedal building tools are on the way! Josh started the Short Circuit series with a StewMac Fuzz Face Kit before moving to breadboarding with this episode. I'm planning to do something similar and ended up ordering a pedal clone kit from Aion FX. I also bought a couple of cheap little soldering practice kits from Amazon so I could practice soldering on something less intimidating. When I was ordering my tools from various sites, I saw the CopperSound DIY Breadboards and almost ordered one. I ended up ordering the PedalPCB ProtoBoard instead which provides only the prototyping PCB and requires you to add your own breadboards, components, and hardware. I ordered everything before seeing this episode. The CopperSound DIY Breadboards do look really nice and convenient. Hopefully it won't be too difficult building the PedalPCB ProtoBoard. Looking forward to diving into this new hobby! Does anyone know of a place that sells a good grab bag of assorted common guitar effect pedal components? It might be handy to have something like that for experimenting on a breadboard.

[@hisproperty1438]

G'day Josh, Thanks for a great video. I enjoyed your fuzz build video as well, & look forward to more build videos. I just have to make a few more comments. 1- Did you connect the earth of the guitar input jack to the earth of the battery? It's shown in the circuit diagram, but I didn't see you make that connection on the breadboard. Unless that connection is already made on the DIY board.... 2- Thanks for explaining what the first coupling capacitor does, & how it separates the guitar pickup from the transistor. I've tried making a small amp with a breadboard, which didn't have the coupling capacitor. I have to go back & put one in now. 3- I've seen all of Brian Wampler's circuit & breadboard videos too, & always enjoy them. 4- Waylon McPherson has a YT channel where he described his capacitor substitution box in one of his videos. He uses it to change the resonate peak on guitar pickups. Once he finds a good capacitor/sound combination, he adds the cap into the guitar's wiring circuit. Since he's a guitar tech from New Zealand, he does a lot of DIY videos - those NZ guys can fix or build anything with some fencing wire and a screwdriver! Finally, 5- I don't care what you make - just make more! Thanks once again for a great video. Keep up the good work. Andrew

[@danielbarbieri8199]

Great stuff ❤ I was on the way to make a 2 cascaded LPB1s circuit, as I told John. Breadboard and substitution boxes will certainly help a lot to tailor the sound before finalizing the pedal. Basing yourself on a diagram, and realizing at the end that it's not really what you were hoping for, I've experienced it many times with diy pedals kits...

[@gibgezr]

[@JohnWakley]

I bought the CopperSound Fuzz kit about a week ago and will agree that their kits are really awesome, and their pedal prototyping breadboard is amazing - highly recommended, especially for beginners who just want to get into the circuits. Word of advice to those looking into buying more than one. Just buy one prototyping kit, then buy the component kits for other circuits, it'll save some money as you don't need a new breadboard for each kit (unless you want to). Anyway, thanks for the video, I learned more watching this than I have most other similar videos. One caveat, and this goes for most videos I've seen, and I realize that most won't understand the theory behind everything, like me, but in the next video, can you go over the "why" certain components do certain things when positioned the way they are? For instance, why does the 1M resistor connected between input+ and GND help in reducing that loud click? Why 1M instead of 1K? Thanks again, love the channel, everyone on it, and everything you're all doing for the community... And for anyone curious about the prototyping board before they buy - feel free to ask

The voltage divider here takes the base voltage to 1.5V, which is double the power needed to turn on a Silicon transistor. Bsse voltage has to be lower than collector voltage to have amplification.
