I do a lot of electronics projects and I find that taking regular breaks is essential, not only for the fumes but just to let your brain rest. Working with very small components that require absolute accuracy is tiring, regular breaks help.

As a previous soldering expert. If you put a fan near your work pointing away from the work it will draw off the fumes. Combine this with taking a breath before soldering and slowly blowing the fumes away as you solder.

That sounded really good. Nice work. I live 20 seconds walk from a river, and own a 12 string guitar with a slotted headstock. The sense of achievement I felt the last time I re-strung it, without giving up and chucking it in the river, was huge. Nice work.

Thank you for the video! I have my kit still in the box and very much appreciate the tip about taping the componets and values to paper. I too am a guitar geek, upgrades and rewires, but i am not a pedal builder. I am looking forward to the time and pride in my build. You have built up my confidence! Thank you again!

Great video Andy. I'm super glad you did this build. I've wondered about this. Thanks who you gonna call !!!! Stewmac

[@garyyarago2096]

Great show, I learned so much about how circuits are constructed just watching it. I always thought building a kit pedal was beyond my skills, but after watching this , believe I'll give it a try.

[@vintagetubeamplifiers]

I plan on getting one and you just made my decision a little easier, thanks for another great video, I enjoy them and appreciate all the hard work you put into making them.

[@elancaster3989]

Clear lacquer over the stickers will keep them permanently affixed. I use some glow in the dark paint to highlight the controls before clear lacquer.

[@wahtoneguitars8793]

Very cool video. I was curious about these pedal kits. Sounds great!

[@Rockriverboarder]

Thanks for the great overview of the project before getting into it myself.

[@fretted]

Got this kit a few weeks ago. Haven’t started on it yet. Thanks for this inspiring video!

[@indianolaguitarman]

Thanks so much for making this video. I've got this kit on order and have watched the StewMac channel show another pedal build and learned a bit. But watching this from a fellow guitar geek/pedal-making novice it helps to not be as intimidated by the process. Glad too that you mentioned the magnifier head thingy helping (was planning on relying on my reading glasses but hmm, might change plans on that.) And good to know the Allen wrenches will be needed for securing the knobs.

[@chrisdigital]

I love the education they provide in the manuals. That is awesome.

[@noi5emaker]

I've built a lot of kits without the PCB holder, but bought one anyway and WOW what a difference it makes. I swear less, drop fewer things and build boards much quicker. I didn't get the StewMac branded holder, but got an identical one from a different supplier. Shop around and save money :)

[@sparksnguitarsmike]

Great video! I've built 3 Stew Mac kits and they are a lot of fun to build and sound great!

[@user-rd8te4ov1q]

I genuinely appreciate your candor Sir. Having just finished a screamer pedal kit from Stewmac I found your assessment to be spot on with my experience. Having gained the skills for this many years ago, I found their instructions to be quite honestly the most thorough I have ever seen. The Ghost Drive is my next project and I share your enthusiasm for the results.

[@kurtsteincamp8085]

I learned to solder PCB boards with this pedal kit. Liked it so much I built another one. Currently have the Two Kings Boost sitting here waiting for me to get started. Great pedals and a great learning experience.

[@kidlargo1]

I just built the same two. How did yours both come out?

[@petemitchum3198]

Excellent instructional video! You caused me to order one and try it myself. Thanks!

[@joetamm]

I got the kit several months ago, very easy to build, instructions were great, it’s one of my favorite OD pedals, I put up a demo also.

[@chrisdiceart]

Well done... I have this kit sitting in a drawer. I knew I needed a few more tools, now I know what I need to start. 😄

[@TimSamoff]

Nice work, Andy! For a full pedal kit, you picked a good one. A lot of people couldn’t do that on their first try. Now that you’ve proven you can do it, it’s time to move on to building some petals without the full kit! ❤

[@dekka8241]

Who you gonna call? Stewmac ! I would like to see more pedal build videos because I honestly can't be bothered to build them myself spending the time and risk of it failing to work. Well done to you Andy on your build and video. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@Buzzel-NL]

Nice video Andy! Pedal building is fun.

[@sterlingyee7153]

Thank you! This is great, I just ordered one!

[@PedalChainsAddiction]

I built this when it first came out. I love mine. Probably because I built it, like you said. I’m working on an entire board of effects that I’ve built myself because it’s so much fun. I have 5 StewMac pedals so far that were so much fun to build. I’ve recently moved to PedalPCB and MadBean Pedals for broader options. Love it as a hobby. Thank you for a thoughtful and insightful video. Glad to be a part of your community. Should you do more build videos, I’ll be there for all of them!

[@danweaver1517]

I did the same thing. I thinkk I have 6 pedals from Stewmac. They are the best kit pedals. I have tried some from Ali Express, and lets just say, the instructions are a picture, and a lot of guessing. Same with the ones on Amazon, a lot of which come from China as well with the same poor instructions. Some pedals I could never even get to work. Amplified parts pedal kits seem to be all analog, no digital. I prefer the digital pedals. Great job on the video! Building the Stewmac Fan Tremolo on my bench now!

[@lsmiii]

After watching this video, I bought my own and finished it today. Stressful build but fun. Thanks for posting the review.

[@mikedwiles]

Great video Andy! Last year, I built StewMac's Swell Drive. My experience was the same as what you experienced. I think you described and explained things perfectly including what you thought and felt about it. I was amazed that I actually built it. I agree with using the PCB holder. I'm glad I got it. Also, you and I both used a good quality, temperature controlled soldering station. Like you, I'm not a professional solderer. It makes all the difference between success and failure. The magnifying lens and multimeter are also important in sorting some of the components. Thanks so much for a through review.

[@mississipiblues]

Hi Andy, i built the same kit about six months ago and your right , great fun and there's something about building your own kit. I've since also built the Stewmac King of Tone kit, a bit trickier but very satisfying . It's much easier with a PCB holder. The only thing i did different was i left the breakout boards attached (much easier to solder the wires). love the channel 🤘🤘

[@DeltaDonnaLynn]

I built the ghost drive as well, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, start to finish. I think I even made the same face when I hit the footswitch the first time. It’s a bonus that the pedal sounds great too!!! I’m definitely ‘going to call’ Stewmac again!

[@titanuranus]

LOL. The should print a disclaimer at the end of the booklet: Guitar Face Not Included.

I built one too. Turned me from a hack to a rock star.

[@buckjofiden4804]

Wow! Great video, as usual. Super interesting, I've seen the odd kit before, but they've always seemed a bit dodgy. But I love Stewmac. Looked like a quality kit!

[@helotaxi]

The build is pretty straightforward and the instructions are truly excellent. Definitely check the resistors since some of the colors aren't super distinct. My only real gripe was the included wire was rubbish. I ordered a spool of quality wire to complete the kit.

[@Mike_Jones68]

exactly what I would do. Ive done this a bunch and getting quality wire is key imo

[@kengouthro]

Pedal sounds great! Nicely done.

[@alwaysrockn2009]

Great video! I always wondered about the quality of these kit projects. Rock on dude!

[@1pcfred]

Well the guy here did have one badly formed and raised resistor. Other than that he did OK though. A real quality build all resistors read top to bottom and left to right too. You don't just put them in the board willy nilly. Orientation matters.

[@oldmanzen6682]

Nice kit. I've been dying to try a pedal kit for a while now. Seems like it'd be a ton of fun, even if challenging.

[@paroblynn]

I’ve been looking at the pedal kits just for something to do and then to do content videos on them. This came up as a suggestion for me after I searched the stewmac site. I’ll have my screamer one done first but I plan on getting this.

[@rw9495]

Seems pretty straightforward, I can dig it! Maybe this is the project I need to take on to finally learn to solder well

[@tahevol]

Great video. I built the pedal several months ago and think it’s a good value. You don’t need to be a tech prodigy to build it. I like the tone. Stew Mac almost never disappoints. Thank you for the nice presentation

[@DavidMorley]

I'd love to see you try a musikding kit. They are in Germany and have loads of pedals and smaller amps. Excellent video. Definitely makes me want to build some pedal so please do more. I think it will make a great series.

[@Mike_S_Swift]

Nice video. I built the Ghost Drive about 6 weeks ago. Pretty much went thru the same process of inventory & logging resistors and caps. Made the installation process a breeze. I only changed out the white LED for a blue one as I saw one comment that it was pretty bright. Happy with the blue and bought my nephew the ghost drive kit for Christmas which he hasn’t unwrapped yet. He has zero experience with electronics and soldering so I’ll be assisting I’m sure but Who you gonna call?

I've dug through so many Dist/OD/Fuzz pedals since 1971, that they all seem to blend. This pedal - both as a kit and a finished project is bloody amazing! Congratulations on a successful build. Who ya gonna call? StewMac! And I call them regularly.

[@1pcfred]

The coolest overdrive pedal is the GM Arts overdrive but sadly that website is no more. I documented it on the instructables website when I built it though. So the schematic is archived there. Get KiCAD and design a board. Though I used Eagle when I did it in 2011. I have a legit vintage JRC4558 in mine. I salvaged it out of an old radio so I know it's the real deal. A $100 chip. Don't let anyone tell you they're all the same.

[@duster722]

I'm fairly handy in most things but I have a huge knowledge black hole in the area of electronics. This looks like a good place to get my feet wet (poor analogy I know), learn some of the basics, and get a pedal out of the exercise as well. Thanks for the very nicely done video that kept my interest throughout. Cheers

I was thinking of getting into building my own pedals- this was very helpful! Oh- who ya gonna call? StewMac!

[@rjake61]

I built one, and there are 2 things I would do against the instructions. 1) Install the ic’s when all of the soldering is done. 2) Keep the footswitch breakout board fastened to mainboard as it comes. The wire jumpers are a lot easier to install. It sounds pretty good.

[@jakeforester2705]

I just finished mine and agree with your comments on the process. The booklet is top notch, one of the best I've seen. I wish I'd have organized the resistors as you did. Though the instructions have them installed in ascending order of resistance, on mine they weren't packed such that the lower values were in one bag, the higher ones in another - there was a bit of mixing. On inexpensive resistors like these the color bands can be hard to distinguish, so I felt an ohmmeter was a requirement to make sure of the values. I had the same confusion about which side of the breakout board was up, and the same issues with soldering it. I just did a couple of the wires at a time. There was no need to do them all at once. Your review was well done. Thanks for sharing that with us!

[@TheFreedomofLiving]

I purchased this kit as well, and look forward to assembling it over the holiday break. Nice work on the video, production quality is great, as is your narration. I enjoyed watching it, maybe I'll make a video of my own assembly of the kit. Also, I'll just say "Ghostbusters" because, why not?

[@christhompson6520]

A great kit and an awesome sounding pedal. I built it twice (once for a friend). The second kit was missing a couple of resisters and a capacitor -- StewMac sent those right away, but glad I wasn't in a hurry. The instructions are very clear, except for the graphic on the power connection, which required a bit of guessing to get the leads right. I can't imagine doing this kit without a PC board holder. And, if you're over 40, you're going to want big magnifying glasses for this kind of work. Use a good temp-controlled iron. And use a ventilator fan. You don't want to be breathing those toxic flux fumes! I'd love to do this kind of kit more often! Great work StewMac. Great video, GG!

[@TraneFrancks]

Who Ya Gonna Call? StewMac! I, for one, am glad that you showed the sticker is a part of the kit. The times I've looked at the StewMac website, the parts shots of the kits haven't included the sticker ... just the finished product shot. That was enough to keep me from pulling the trigger. Looks like a fun build and sounds great. My cheap Klon clone (ish) is currently a Soul Food. Might have to step up my game.
