DIY Guitar Pedal Building - Acapulco Gold Circuit Pedal Build With Gain Mod

Now then, welcome back to the channel. I little later today than normal because I've been frustrating over a guitar that should have only taken me 2 hours, still not done after 5hrs!!

Anyway, today we are building the circuit for the Acapulco Gold from Earthquaker Devices. This one with a gain pot on the input to make the pedal a little more user friendly. Its so loud!!

Thanks for tuning in guys! Hope you enjoy this video. Its a bit long. It was much, much longer but shortened it and sped it up where I could, but I still wanted you to get a full understanding of how much work goes into even a simple circuit.
