You'll get all of the necessary materials and detailed instructions. We'll have all the equipment: soldering iron, hand tools, and more. Most participants have a blast.

You can read about the Altoids projects here.

You can read about the PG-13 Passive Gates project here.

The Altoids-based projects run on a 9V battery and are designed to plug in to a guitar amplifier via a quarter inch jack. These all work well with other effect pedals allowing you to make funky and celestial sounds. You are only limited by your creativity.

The PG-13 Passive Gates project is EuroRack compliant module. Youโ€™ll build a endlessly useful, passive dual gate with a tone control. Feed it a signal and use CV to control its amplitude!

These are low part count project - easy build for beginners! But if you need help with your circuit, your instructors have 20+ yearsโ€™ experience building, designing, and troubleshooting electronic circuitry. So rest assured that we will get your effect working and get you ready to explore the worlds of sound synthesis and electronics. Expect this workshop to last 2 โ€“ 3 hours.


This is brought to you in conjunction with our sponsors: @synthcube @smallbear @pcbway
