Hey guys,
I've had an interest in electronics since I first starting modding my Epiphone SG installing a coil tap. Ever since then I've progressively achieved more difficult wiring (push/pull pots/series wiring/killswitches etc) and eventually built my first pedal (A/B/Y box).
Sufficient to say I've been bitten by the bug.
Whilst I'll never be an EE, after some research I've found a really cool project. It's a Beavis Board, which is essentially a break box and breadboard so you can test your prototyping through an amp without taping everything to the workbench :P Even just in researching breadboards and applying schematics to them I've learnt so much. I feel like this will be a good step towards building my own custom circuits.
Here's a pic of the breakbox design:
I've got almost all the parts now. Just going to Jaycar tomorrow to buy an enclosure. My end goal is to be able to prototype and design my own schems.
