Amazing course!
Simply put, this course packed a ton of experience-based knowledge from an expert. Brian Wampler took the time to share his passion and insights from decades of experience to accelerate my understanding. I found it focused and without a lot of confusing, unimportant, information. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in building their own pedals.

Informative and Reputable
Brian does a great job at exposing you to the basics, and then takes you a little bit further down the rabbit hole.

I feel like I just leveled up
I took this course to be able to move forward from paint by numbers type pedal building, That goal has been achieved.

Pure Gold!
This is just great. A must have for DIY guitar pedal enthusiast. I'm looking forward for more courses like this one from Brian.

Awesome course for beginners!
Even though I've had researched all of the circuits and blocks discussed in this course on my own before discovering this course, it still provided lots of useful insight and practical instructions on how to get started with actually building and testing the circuits. For me, there were many "A-Ha!" moments, where a more concise and useful/practical explanations and solutions were offered for the concepts that I knew before, but still was not sure I understood well. A great resource for those who want to start making their own pedals.

Outstanding course
This course is incredibly good for beginners, everything is clear and concise. Brian explains every part and how to put it together perfectly making it easy to learn how to build your own guitar pedals. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn to tinker with guitar pedals.

Great Beginner course
This is a great introduction into pedal building for the complete beginner. No experience necessary.
Aron
Total confidence boost.
Brian hits the nail on the head in as simple of terminology as you could hope for in a course. The video lengths and topics are all laid out and explained exceptionally well making it easy to go back and forth within the course. I have built numerous pedals in the past from kits and while cool I still had no idea what was going on so I took it even further purchasing great PCB’s, sourcing all of my own parts, enclosures etc… and building alongside supplied documentation. Basically painting with numbers. You simply find “R19” on the parts list page and you plug that value into the board and solder it in, learning nothing about why or how the part or value effects anything. Schematics still resembled cave paintings to me and troubleshooting was a nightmare when a build was finished and something was wrong. I might as well have been looking at a completed circuit from another builder as I still had no idea where to begin or anything that I had done aside from soldering parts. Long winded but if you happen to be a Tinkerer and want to know why something ticks I cannot recommend this course enough. Well done Brian W.!

A Must-Take Course for Aspiring Pedal Builders!
Brian Wampler's "Complete Beginner's Guide: How To Design Your Own Guitar Pedal Circuits" is an absolute gem for anyone interested in building guitar pedal effects. As someone who has been dabbling in pedal design, I found the content incredibly accessible and informative. The step-by-step instructions are clear, and Brian does a fantastic job of breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons. The practical examples and hands-on projects make the learning experience both engaging and enjoyable. I highly recommend this course to all aspiring pedal builders!

Truly One Of A Kind Masterclass
This course has everything you need to start building your own guitar effect circuits. Highly enjoyable, incredibly educational, and exceeded my expectations in every way. Cannot recommend this course highly enough.

Beautiful
Simply beautiful, I understood everything and am eager to start prototyping
Teylor
Worth every penny
As an EE student, I had doubts about this course because I figured I could easily find this information online by searching through forums. Little did I know the specific details and knowledge I would gain from Brian through his experience in this field. That's what you're paying for, and it is sooo worth it. Took the information from this course, expanded on it, and I'm working on my own overdrive design. Could not have been done without this course.

Awesome blossom, with extra awesome 👏🏼
This helped me so much with understanding schematics and bread boarding circuits! I hope there is a continuation of this in the future. Thanks Brian 😎

Pedal Building Made Accessible
This course is pure gold. Brian’s causal and conversational style combined with his “Lego block” approach made me feel like I can do this. In the past, I’ve worked through multiple books on the topic, but always hit a brick wall. This course not only breaks down those barriers, but Brian also shares little nuggets of wisdom throughout on how to tinker and experiment with the designs. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to get into pedal building.

Wampler Pedal Course for Beginners
At last something that you can get your teeth into without choking on mathematical formulas, well structured and well thought out, is helping me to find a lot of the answers to the questions that were bogging me down and has helped pointing me in the direction i needed with a better understanding of what i was looking at
Bill
Fantastic Course! I Highly recommend this to anyone curious about getting into pedal design.
This was great! Truth be told I was not a complete beginner, but I'm definitely a beginner. Brian's explanations were very easy to follow and very informative. If you are looking to break into building and designing pedal circuits this is a great way to do it. I will likely reference this material for a long time. Thank you Brian for putting this together!
Nathaniel
A must for those wanting a start into the inside world of guitar pedals
I can't say enough about this course. I learned all the basic building blocks to create may own distortion. Brian covers all the important topics needed to get a grasp on what is inside these little boxes we are addicted to using.
