Simplifying the Breadboarding Process
The journey towards mastering breadboarding can appear intimidating. For those curious about CopperSound DIY products but unsure about taking the first step, the 'Short Circuit' video series is your guiding light. It provides a crystal-clear understanding of beginning the breadboarding process.
Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or an entrant into the pedal circuit arena (or as Josh lovingly refers to us, 'nerds'), this video is a goldmine.
In this first video Josh constructs a single effect on a CopperSound breadboard from scratch, explaining breadboarding's fundamental aspects in a simplified manner along the way.

From Schematic to Execution - Watch Josh in Action
The first video, located on this page, is an essential primer for all aspiring breadboarding enthusiasts. It provides detailed insights into the components' roles and offers an in-depth view of the breadboarding process.
Follow along as Josh creates an Electro Harmonix LPB-1 Boost (probably the most famous boost ever made in his own words) from a Jack Orman schematic. He also shares valuable tips on how to prepare and setup for breadboarding.

Josh highlights the versatility of the CopperSound breadboards here; as he uses one to create his own effect from scratch, but to make your initial journey even easier, CopperSound have also developed their own Cir-Kit component bundles.
These are kits of various effects to build such as a Mosfet Boost, Silicon Fuzz, and Single Transistor Overdrive, and all come with all the required components and wire needed to finish the build, and a complete build guide for you to follow along with.
Alex and his team at CopperSound have developed many more DIY tools beyond the breadboards and Cir-Kits, including their innovative Substitution Boxes, which Josh also provides a short and valuable introduction to in this video.
So what are you waiting for!?
