Jumping into the now-insane world of pedal creation is a daunting task: where to begin, how to solder, what makes a pedal function, etc… Luckily, for anyone who wants to take the plunge, there are companies like MOD Kits DIY, who offer pedal-building kits with different difficulty levels that come with easy to use instructions and use point to point wiring. We’re going to take a look at one of their kits today – The Suspended Chime Chorus Delay.
This light blue gem features two different modes, Chorus and Chorus/Delay. The former is a straight-ahead chorus pedal, while the latter adds onto that by giving you access to 190 milliseconds of delay as well. The lone knob for both modes is a simple Blend control, adding in more and more of the effect as you slowly increase the presence. To hear the nuances and differing options this pedal has to offer, please consult the demo below. This kit comes equipped with an LED indicator and industry standard 9 volt center negative power jack as well.
We’d love to tell you that this pedal was built by us through a lot of blood and sweat, over the course of many long and late nights as we struggled to figure out how to use a soldering iron. Fortunately, we’re not all that mechanically savvy, so the nice folks at MOD Kits DIY put it together for us….whew! However, for those of you who have the time and desire to get into the pedal building world, these guys offer a bunch of great kits for you to practice on, that sound great and will fit any budget. The Suspended Chime is a great way to add some sparkle and shine to your tone, and can be used excellently as a subtle effect to really beef up your sound.
