Electronics for beginners is a topic I love! With these steps, you'll be well on your way to building whatever gadget you're dreaming about.

Build a Simple Circuit From a Pizza Box (No Soldering): I learn best through tactile teaching methods.

Here's a dump of layouts, pics and info about my EPFM modular build. I didn't include any of the schematics in this post. They are easy to find if you google them. PDF versions of the EPFM book is easy to find too. If you want to build these effect you'll need those resources. The book has circuit descriptions and will make pot wiring easier. RING MODULATOR gutz Craig Anderton's Ring mod. This ring mod sounds good. It has a little bit of carrier wave bleed thru like most ring mods do. Nothing too distracting thou. I added a tone switch and a pitch switch to this circuit. I think they were both suggested mods in the EPFM book. SUPER TONE CONTROL guts Envelope switch connections The super tone control is awesome! A really useful and versatile tone circuit. Three band control with frequency and resonance! Very synth-like. I goes from super low, boomy bass tones to whisper twinkly high tones, and everything in-between. Prolly the best circuit of the lot. I didn't have to make a layout for this one because tagboardeffects already has one made up. I did remove the charge pump because I have a +/-9v supply running into it. PHASE SHIFTER gutzy This phaser sounds pretty cool but I wouldn't call it lush or anything. Compared to my Ross 8 stage phaser, well, it doesn't compare. It is capable of other interesting high resonant modulation type sounds though. This is one of the more complex circuits to build. It has the most parts and uses four vactrols or opto couplers. It calls for CLM6000's in the book. These are non existent these days. Some people have luck building there own vactrols with LED's & Photocell's. I bought some opto couplers from electronics goldmine. You can buy them individually or get a lot of untested ones. I went for the lot and hand picked ones with similar resistance values. ENVELOPE FOLLOWER Guts This is the envelope follower circuit found near the back of the book. This is like an add on that works in conjunction with the other effects. This circuit also uses the opto couplers mentioned in the Phase shifter text. If you go back and look at the pictures of the Tone control front panel , and the front panel of the Phase shifter, you'll see the envelope switches. These switches activate the envelope for these effects. When activated on the tone control it acts like an auto filter type effect. On the Phaser it's suppose to add a swell type effect. The envelope works great on the tone control and not so well with the Phaser. SPRING REVERB yup This is the one effect that didn't come from the EPFM book but it is a Craig Anderton design. I actually stripped down this circuit. The tank I used has a long decay and a dark tone for a spring reverb. The parts I removed seem to muffle the sound further. The reverb still sounds kinda dark but in a neat way, I think. POWER SUPPLY Some extra pics of the enclosure, reverb tank, and PSU. The PSU is pretty much the MFOS wall wort PSU with 9v regulators. Hope you enjoyed the pics and info.

Lightning is a large-scale natural spark discharge that occurs within the atmosphere or between the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface. On discharge, a highly electrically conductive plasma channel is created within the air, and when current flows within this channel, it rapidly heats the air up to about 25,000°C. The lightning channel is an example of terrestrial plasma in action.
