This is great for audio projects because you get real results that you can actually hear right away.īreadboarding, however, it has it’s challenges:Ģ – Anything complicated quickly turns into a rats nest.ģ – Routing sensitive signal lines is a nightmare.Ĥ – It’s hard to get high pin density SMD micro controllers onto a breadboard. It’s perfect for simple effects pedal designs.Ī common way to prototype simple electronic circuits such as used in guitar effects pedals is to use a breadboard and real components. I recently discovered iCircuit, a neat little circuit simulator app that works on Mac as well as mobile devices.
