Hello!!

I've searched for days (really, days) on a guide to build a Wooly Mammoth clone that I want to use for my guitar.

This would be my first project and I have no experience in electronics. How would I build this? How can I add a DPDT switch and a LED? I found some schematics and I know how to read them, would I just take the schematic and lay it out on veroboard?

Thanks..!

Look some more, information is on the web.  You could buy a WM.  The WM has some selection needed for it to work correctly.

Download diy layout creator and design a perf layout from the schematic. The older version is actually better than the current version last time i checked. Go to the beavis audio site and look at the stompswitch wiring. You can just ignore the 3rd pole of the 3pdt that has the led. Everything else is the same. Since the woolly mamoth will always be used with the same guitar, it may be possible to find unity gain on the mamoth and replace it with fixed resistors of the same value as the half %^&*ed pot. Thus eliminating one knob that you dont need. Dont be afraid to flip things upside down/inside out when making the layout. I sometimes put ic sockets or sip sockets in my perf layouts so that i can audition transitors and input caps. This also prevents burning up the transistors with the iron. Common noob mistake is having the transistors backwards. Mind your pinout. Again, socketing helps.

It's WAY too expensive. And I'd like to start learning how to make them now (I'm 16 btw) by starting with a simple one like the WM. I'd love to be able to make my own pedals, that's why I'm starting young :p

I suggest you start with the beginner's project. Think of it as a classroom exercise, saving the good parts and stuff for when you have a little practice under your belt.
