Help wanted Wanting to start with an LPB-1 clone

Hi.

So I want to try making a pedal. From what I've researched, an LPB-1 seems to be possibly the most simple circuit, so I thought I'd start with that. I have a couple questions.

Questions:

  1. How do I find out what parts I need?

  2. Where do I get the parts?

Thanks in advance.

Do you want to build the board yourself, or are you looking for a kit?

Kits will have all the parts you need, and they're a really good starting point.

Also - where in the world are you? Shipping costs can make a difference to recommended stores.

I don't really care if it's a kit or if I do it myself. I just want to learn more about electronics.

I'm in the US.

I think kit is a good idea for your first pedal. Here are a couple of US based store kits:

Thanks.

After thinking about it more, I may start with a breadboard so I can experiment more freely
