How It Began
For my capstone I want to make a guitar pedal. I’m planning on first making a pedal from a kit to gain an understanding of the basic electronics related to it, and by the end of the school year I’m hoping to create a full pedal from scratch.
How It Changed
The scope of my proposal shrunk a lot as I realized how much work it was compared to how much work I was willing to do.
Reflection
I've learned a lot about basic electronics and how distortion pedals work.
