What You'll Build and Learn & Resources Used

Lesson Overview: What You’ll Build, Learn & Tools You’ll Use

In this quick orientation lesson, we map out exactly what you’ll get from this course—both in skills and final results.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

• A fully custom-built Big Muff Pi—from breadboard to final soldered version.
• A deep understanding of how the circuit works and how to mod it to fit your sound.
• Practical skills in circuit analysis, soldering, layout planning, and audio testing.

We also introduce the main tools and resources we’ll be using:

• Free software like LTSpice for simulating circuits
• DIYLC for layout planning
• KiCad for Schematics
• And the legendary Kit Rae Big Muff Page as a historical reference

Whether you’re here to build your first pedal or to push your DIY skills further, this lesson makes it clear what to expect—and what you’ll have created by the end.
