How to Design a Guitar Pedal - Part 3: Breadboarding, Tweaking, and Tuning

In this video, we put together our circuit on the breadboard according to our schematic. We go through the steps of successful breadboarding and get the circuit working to our satisfaction in preparation for PCB layout and sending to fab. 00:00 - Intro 00:28 - Designing Pedals = Scientific Method 01:02 - The 5 Phases of Breadboarding 05:21 - Breadboarded According to Schematic 07:06 - Testing Functional Blocks 09:56 - Testing End to End 10:30 - Brief Test Box Demo 11:00 - Testing Controls 12:10 - Tuning: Feedback 14:37 - Tweaking: Modulation 18:28 - Testing Changes 20:20 - Other Possible Changes 22:22 - Final Schematic Changes 23:14 - Circuit Playthrough 24:51 - Stereo Demo 25:35 - Wrap up
