floFC Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Has anybody else seen the advert below on Facebook? This company (Anasound) are running a workshop where you build your own pedal, with some theory and people at hand to help and demonstrate how it’s done properly (soldering, testing etc.). I think it is a fantastic idea, but unfortunately in Birmingham. Does anyone know of anything similar in London? Soldering for musical equipment (pedals, but also pickups, pots, harnesses etc)? https://anasounds.com/produit/sliver-tremolo-masterclass-birmingham-02-29-or-03-01/?fbclid=IwAR0_gVwTc0bLxnVhY9Ve1Y3aCTskRg4PhfwXDTuIkRGU2AFYNHi6ZW9O7mE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Youtube is filled with soldering videos. Main points: - take your time - invest a little bit on a reasonable equipment (Weller, Metcal...) - buy some components, like capacitors, pots (for a bigger load), and something that is easy to ruin (i.e. includes melting plastics) - take care of the ventilation (a small blower near an open window) - do some trials and errors to understand the behaviour of your equipment and parts - and again, take your time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit old school when it comes to education and I like the idea of someone being there and explaining/answering questions. But yes, I could buy some parts and experiment as you say. And take my time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
