Alright, so I've been cooking up ideas for electronic guitar effects recently and have been mustering up enough courage to start building my own pedals under the name "BlackSkyCraft". First and foremost, I'd like to thank BeavisAudioResearch, while the site hasn't been updated in a long time, it has been a huge resource for me. In addition to his website, I'd like to thank Glass Hero Amplification for his help in understanding just how pedal's work.
With that having been said, I'd like to create an outline of what this endeavor entails. My hopes are that anyone who is interested in the process of building guitar effects will gain something from this. So just like I did with papercraft projects, I'm planning on posting:
(1) Projects that I'm interested in attempting
(2) How I plan on tackling them
(3) Things I've learned along the way
This is a pretty big undertaking and I hope you all enjoy what you read herein. In other news, I have not totally abandoned my papercraft projects. For those of you who have been paying attention you'll notice that I have some loose ends that I need to tie up. Over the past 2 years I've been rather busy with my work, but have also been slowly learning more and more about 3D modeling. At some point I'd like to try and make my own models to papercraft, but we'll have to see. As far as I can recall, here are the papercraft projects that I have started and would like to finish up:
(A) Gabranth from Dissidia (Progress is coming along slow, I need to figure out where all my files are...)
and
(B) Bat from FFIII (I started this one in October for Halloween...more than half a year later and I'm still not finished. its a pretty low poly model, but I've been taking it slow. I purchased a bottle of glue tonight though, so hopefully I can make some progress this weekend)
Well that's all for now, I'll try and put together more information about the pedals I'm working on later. I've already started one, but I think I was a bit too ambitious and need to go back to something a bit simpler to begin with...
