Part 1. Breadboards are what connect each component of your circuit. They are divided into 4 separate vertical sections, and the middle 2 sections are also divided by rows. The outer 2 sections are divided by negative on the left side and positive on the right side.

Multimeters are devices that can measure a variety of things on a circuit. You can switch it to a setting that measures current, or resistance, or voltage between two points. This is great for trouble shooting because if your circuit isn’t working and you cannot figure out why, you can measure certain areas to figure out if the current is flowing or not.

The first Final Project video that I watched was by Paul Odenwalt. He made a guitar pedal that effects the tremolo of the guitar from clean to distorted. You can change the amount of oscillation and the type of wave (sine or square). It sounded really cool, I really loved the difference between the sine and square sounds. The second video that I watched was by Quin Scacheri. He built a Noise Gate, which removes unwanted noise from a signal chain. It adjusts the threshold of how long or short the cutoff is on the instrument. The third video I watched was by Julian Vanasse. He built what he called a kinetic spring reverb noisemaker. It feeds a signal into the device and using a speaker, a spring and a contact microphone it generates reverb. The reverb sounded really cool and interesting as it changed throughout the video.
