If it makes you feel any better or gets a laugh I used to always call Matt Schumann or whatever his name was “Schumann” but like Newman from Seinfeld. It always pissed him off and I don’t think he understood why..... Frickin Schumann 😂

But fair warning, you literally have to pull near perfect test while in that course with that level of sass Hahahaha 😂

Fuzzlord Effects I always try to avoid Schuman’s classes when possible. He is by far my least favorite instructor I’ve had since high school. I dropped a digital logic class he was teaching because he’s just such a hard guy to like lol

Hello! I'm a highschooler in Virginia and I really appreciate this video. I usually have to find information like this through multiple videos and/or websites so thank you so much. I've always been really into electronics but I've gotten really into guitars this year. I think I'm going to order a diy boost pedal for my first project. Thank you!

I seen 6 moogerfooger pedals going for $25,000, and with a background in electronics, decided enough is enough. You were the first video I seen, and I'm ready to build for my own needs... Because the day I spend that much for a pedal is the day I really am a moogerfooger! Thanks for the start... I'll keep you updated with my path.

@@us3r11 I have built 3 since then... 2 eh, and another that I like. Thank goodness for the internet or I wouldn't have been able to do it. With the time I have put into it, I could have bought a pedal for cheaper, but the experience was worth it.

Really appreciated this, especially the respect paid to those who beat a path before us. I've been hungry to start building pedals... been 20ish years since I used a soldering iron, never did much more than rewiring speaker cabs or swapping out guitar pickups, but always wanted to do more. Found this very inspiring--checking out the LPB 1 next!

Greetings from Austin TX ! I think it’s really cool that you talk about this for ppl like myself that are starting to tinker with pedals. The tools and advice was cool too. Advice about respecting those who came before you is great in any part of life. I enjoy your videos and only found your channel last week. I like what you do sir, and your products. I just ordered a bazz fuss kit and a few others. Plus some tone stacks and a couple electric engineering books. Jumping in head first haha. I’ve been teaching myself guitar repair and wiring them for yrs. might as well learn to make the pedals that make my guitars scream. I just want to make cool pedals with my daughter and be able to fix the box of old pedals I already have. Keep doing what you do sir.

@generalleigh7387 Рік тому

I’m compelled to build. I can’t help it. My first baz I built from salvaged parts. I had just got into it and I was so hungry and I couldn’t really work a job at the time so I was broke. It was a good long while before I was able to find a good transistor type that I didn’t half roast in the removal process from the iron. There is something magical about making them come to life. I just recently discovered biasing and it’s mind blowing awesome to have access to that control parameter- it’s like secrets hidden in limitations by the manufacturers. Because playing with biasing is straight up bad ass and I love access to that control 🤗
