Matt Resovich: Still other circuit designers simply publish their designs online. These are an incredibly valuable resource for builders new and old. They allow you to audition and scratch build circuits from schematics. It’s like a road map to the circuit you can use as a guide to have fun exploring all the possibilities. Stomp boxes are typically simple-low voltage designs that make a great starting point in electronics. I’ve built several of the circuits at runoffgroove.com and home-wrecker.com such as the BazzFuss, TubeReamer and Tonemender, some of which I actually put in my stage rig.
