WELCOME
You have reached the home of SOLDERSOUND
This site will be dedicated to DIY electronics. To be more precise it all about guitar effects, stomp boxes, and all kind of guitar oriented gadgets and subjects about guitars and guitar playing. My purpose with this site is to contribute to the spreading of knowledge of how to build your own guitar effects and to help boost the interest in crafting your own sound. I will try to do this in a way that I hope will be useful, both if you are a total beginner or a veteran design and soldering genie. Because of the huge numbers of splendid sites that is out there already, this site will primarily focus on my own work and what I have learned.
My
ambition with this site is
to share my own
experience
of
building
stomp
boxes
and
other
guitar
related stuff. I
hope
you
will
find
something
useful here on
this
site.
(when I have
found
time to finish this
site) Here
is
some
examples
of what I
plan
to put on
this
site.
- My own home made and completed projects with sound samples, schematics, mods, graphics, Etc.
- Links to where to find sites with good information and "ready to use" projects, reliable components dealers with good and cheap stuff Etc.
- About...things I have found useful, My mistakes (so you don´t have to repet them) tools to use, boxing the stuff, my own upinion about wha t I regard as myths and B*S out there, tutorials, for example how to transfer and etch your own PCB:s etc.
- Links to other good DIY recourses on the net that has been useful to me.
No, I do not sell effects or custom make effects or do any business about my hobby at all. I have enough problems to find time for my own projects :-)

| 2008-10-15 | Soldersound proudly presents my first (nearly) own design. The Mini Man. Meet him and read all about him on the project page. | ||
| 2008-10-13 | OK, finally got time for some recording. Not much, 1 ½ Effect (DCO and Captain America) and the clean setup but it’s a start. Mind you that I am a lousy gutar player. Focus on the sound of the effect not the noise pollution I produce. | ||
| 2008-10-11 | Three new pedals has seen the light of the day. The Dragon Cave Overdrive (OCD clone) and the Bounce (Rebot Delay) and Captain America(MXR Phase 90 clone). waiting to be boxed is the BOSS SG-1 clone and my super tweaked Shaka Braddha III. | ||

A small step for the internet, a gigantic leap for me. My Projects page completed with pictures and most of the text. Lots of new misspelled words all over the site and yet no sound samples. Be patient, they will come. | ||
| 2008-09-16 |
Jippie, the new site is released and with som content too. I will try to fill it with more soon. | ||

The
only bad sounding stomp box is an unbuilt stomp
box. ;-)
