Peter's Guitar Effects Projects Page

This page is dedicated to a novice's construction of guitar effect electronics. I started fiddling with this stuff around 1991; now it's 2010, and I'm still a novice at it.

My Projects

• Morley ABY Mod #1 - Active Buffer--a single, small, 9V battery powered version of Anderton's buffer designed to wedge into Morley's $40 ABY splitter box
• Morley ABY Mod #2 - Convert to Stereo Splitter - converts the mono ABY to stereo input and switchable mono outputs, using a minimum of parts.
• Guitar Effects Building Basics--the beginnings of a guide to parts, tools, and construction
