I've been in the mode of building strange things lately (i'm in the process of building a drumset composed of various sized bass drums and a marching snare right now). So i got another idea. I want to build a multi effects pedal. This sounds a bit more complex than building a drumkit... but I'm going to go for it and hopefully keep it simple. Basically my plan is to put everything i already have in my chain into a single box. I know nothing of building these things but my chain is as follows: tube preamp - reverb - tape deck - volume pedal - reverb.
yea, a tape deck and two reverbs (and sometimes a second tape deck). I'm guessing the preamp part is going to be the simplest. Can anyone tell me where to start with this?
also, with the tape deck portion of it (in case you didnt realize i use it as my distortion basically, and adore it) In my current set up i have to have the volume pedal after the tape deck because if i'm not playing a bunch of white noise comes in (which i take advantage of, but i dont always want it obviously) because of the natural compression i suppose. When I'm playing the noise isnt there, when i stop it fades in. Is there any way to get around this besides to be always playing or have a volume pedal afterwards? I dont think a noise gate would do it, because the noise comes in just as loud as my playing. Actually i know it wouldnt work, i've tried it.
i have no idea where to start with this one - please help!
