About this bundle
You get four complete courses AND three custom AI assistants AND twelve working circuit files AND an exclusive design breakdown. The complete system that takes you from not understanding circuits to designing your own and ordering professional PCBs in one package.
Here's how it works: The first two courses give you the foundation - how to read schematics, understand circuit blocks, and identify what each component does and why. This is where most people get stuck because YouTube videos and forums skip this part. The advanced courses are where it gets serious. Professional EQ design. Multi-stage circuits. PCB layout and manufacturing. The techniques used designing production pedals that sell for $200-300+.
Most people buy courses separately and waste months trying to figure out how the pieces connect. This bundle eliminates that. You get the logical progression from foundation to mastery, structured so each course builds on the last.
The three AI assistants trained on Brian's methodology answer your questions instantly instead of you hunting through forums. Twelve working LTSpice files let you test circuit modifications in minutes instead of breadboarding for hours. An exclusive Wampler design breakdown shows you a never-released circuit and explains every decision. Complete schematics. Modification guides. Lifetime access to everything. Plus direct support when you hit a wall.
30-day guarantee on the entire bundle. If you don't love it, get every penny back.
What You Will Learn
This is the complete system.
You start with how pedals actually work - not engineering textbooks, but how they work as a musician understands them. Building blocks. Signal flow. Why designers make the choices they make. Then you move into design thinking, where you stop copying schematics and start understanding them - why this topology instead of that one, why this capacitor value creates the sound the designer wanted, and how to see circuits the way a designer sees them.
Then you get LTSpice, not as theory but as a real tool you actually use. You can test any modification in seconds without wasting components or spending all weekend breadboarding, and you can try ten different ideas in twenty minutes while actually hearing what each one does before you touch a soldering iron. The friction disappears and the creativity flows. Then you design and you order - you take everything you've learned and you create something, ordering a professional PCB of your own design that arrives and works because you built it.
But the courses alone aren't why this bundle exists. You also get three custom AI assistants I personally trained on exactly how and what I teach and exactly how I think about circuit design. When you're stuck at midnight on a problem, you don't get generic ChatGPT responses - you get answers trained on my methodology, details with links about where to find any part you need for the courses, and my way of explaining things. Ask about part selection and get answers telling you where to find all the components. Ask about circuit modification and get trained reasoning that matches what I've been teaching for years. These assistants have access to everything about how I design and source and think, and this knowledge doesn't exist anywhere else.
You get twelve LTSpice files of actual circuits you care about building - not theoretical examples, but real pedal designs you can open and modify immediately. Change a component value and see the frequency response shift in real time, testing ideas that would take hours to breadboard in just minutes. You're learning with professional examples instead of starting from zero every time.
You get a never-released Wampler design breakdown - a circuit I designed but never released to the public, complete with the full schematic and LTSpice files, but more importantly, me walking through design decisions. Why I chose this topology over that one. Why this capacitor value instead of another. The thinking behind each choice. That's what separates someone who builds from someone who designs, and that's the education that actually changes how you approach circuits. This breakdown isn't taught anywhere, it's not available anywhere else, and it only exists in this bundle.
You get four courses that take you from complete beginner to designing PCBs and ordering them manufactured - these would be $586 if you buy them separately.
You also get three custom AI assistants I personally built and trained on my methodology, my circuit knowledge, and my way of teaching - when you need answers at midnight, you get responses based on exactly how I think about design and sourcing - and these assistants are worth $99 each for $297 total.
You also get access to a private community where you can ask questions and get answers from my team and the instructors - no outside noise, just people who've taken the course working through the same journey you are.
You get twelve LTSpice circuit files of actual pedals you want to build - working simulations you can modify and test immediately instead of just schematics on paper - files you can actually use and learn from - valued at $99.
You get a never-released Wampler Pedal design breakdown - a circuit I designed but never released publicly, complete with the full schematic and LTSpice files, plus me walking through every decision I made - why this topology, why this capacitor value, why these clipping diodes - the actual thinking that separates designers from people who copy schematics - and this breakdown isn't taught anywhere and it's not available anywhere else - $149 value.
That's $1,131 in total value.
Black Friday price: $369.
Regular bundle price: $549.
After this sale, the bundle goes away and the bonuses stay exclusive to the bundle, so this price never comes back.

Jake Steffes
Owner and President of Steffes Engineering
Meet Jake Steffes – The Engineer Behind the Scenes of Your Favorite Guitar Tones
For over a decade, Jake Steffes has been the quiet force behind some of the most beloved guitar tones in the world. With an electrical engineering degree from Purdue and more than 12 years of experience designing high-performance audio circuits and printed circuit boards, Jake brings a rare mix of technical mastery and musical intuition. But what truly sets Jake apart isn’t just his resume - it’s the way he hears things. A lifelong musician himself, Jake doesn’t just design circuits. He designs feel. Every decision he makes, every layout he builds, is filtered through the question: “How will this sound and feel to the player?” That balance - between engineering logic and artistic instinct - is his true superpower. Since 2013, Jake has worked alongside Brian at Wampler Pedals, handling everything from PCB layouts to DSP coding to the deep, often invisible work that makes a pedal go from “good idea” to “finished product.” Beyond Wampler, Jake’s engineering firm is quietly behind-the-scenes on projects for other top-tier companies and well-known artists across the industry. You may not see his name on those pedals - but you’ve definitely heard his work. This course marks the first time Jake’s pulling back the curtain and sharing his process publicly. After years of conversations about course design, student success, and demystifying complex topics, Jake partnered with Brian to teach the side of DIY pedal building that rarely gets talked about: how to take your circuit idea and turn it into a professionally designed PCB. If you’ve ever wondered how the pros do it - without the fluff, without the guesswork - you’re about to find out.
Sascha Suhr
Engineer & Author of books "Build Your Own Guitar Effects Pedals: A Beginner's Guide" Vol 1&2
For more than 40 years, Sascha Suhr has been chasing tone - not by buying pedals off the shelf, but by building them himself. With an electrical engineering degree and a deep obsession with understanding why circuits behave the way they do, Sascha brings a rare combination: the ears of a working musician and the precision of an engineer who refuses to guess.
Sascha's passion has always been in the overlap between music and electronics - teaching guitarists how to stop treating their pedals like black boxes and start understanding the actual physics of tone.
What sets Sascha apart is his refusal to build anything he can't fully explain. Before a single component goes on the breadboard, he's already run the math and simulated the circuit in LTspice. That discipline - calculate, simulate, verify - is what he brings to every student. You don't just learn how to use LTspice. You learn why your circuit does what it does, and how to predict it before you ever pick up a soldering iron.
Sascha is the author of two highly respected books in the DIY pedal community: Tracking Down Your Dream Tone Vol. 1 & 2 - resources that guitarists and builders return to again and again for their clarity and depth. When Brian Wampler was looking for the BEST person to teach LTspice for pedal design, Sascha was the obvious choice. Not because he's flashy, but because he's one of the best Brian's ever seen at using the tool in a real-world design workflow and teaching others how to do the same.
This course is Sascha's first venture into online courses, but teaching itself isn't new to him. He's been doing it since he was a teenager giving guitar lessons, and later through his books. What is new is the format - and the chance to give students something that's been missing from other LTspice resources: a complete, no-gaps approach that covers everything you actually need to know about LTspice, whether you're designing pedals or anything else.
If you've ever felt lost in simulation software, frustrated by tutorials that skip the "why," or unsure how the pros verify their designs before building - this is where that changes.
