the overdriver

a custom-built overdrive guitar pedal with 50+ soldered components and a hand-painted enclosure.

• Needing an affordable overdrive effects pedal for my guitar, I decided to make one myself.
• I sourced, populated, and soldered more than 50 components, learning precise soldering techniques, thermal control, and component and PCB identification.

• After many hours of troubleshooting with multimeters, rewiring connections, and refining solder joints, I identified and fixed a faulty component, sharpening my ability to diagnose hardware issues.
