Making the most of your Proto Pedal

Build an effects pedal or analog equalizer using the SparkFun Proto Pedal!

We released the SparkFun Proto Pedal - an easy-to-assemble kit that makes building guitar effect pedals easier - in September, and have been making all manner of sounds with it since (check it out our video of it in action here). The Proto Pedal kit and chassis have both hookup and theory guides, but once you've got it all assembled and looking polished, what do you do with it?

Naturally, we have some ideas. Why not use the following tutorials to build a programmable digital guitar pedal or a gyrator-based analog equalizer?
