Proving Ground

Build it. Hear it. Change it.

Proving Ground is a solderless workbench for guitar pedal circuits. Build a prototype, plug in your guitar and amp, and use the footswitch to compare your circuit with your bypassed sound. When you want to hear what a different component does, swap it on the breadboard and play the same riff again.

Available in Small, Medium, and Large.

See below for buying options.

Built for the bench

  • Audition your circuit. The true-bypass footswitch lets you switch between your prototype and your bypassed signal. The LED lights when the send and return loop is active.

  • Check your work. Dedicated test points give you access to raw 9V, filtered 9V, ground, send, and return.

  • Get wired up. Connect your guitar and amp to the built-in ¼-inch jacks. Use the included jumper wires to connect your prototype to power, ground, send, and return.

Includes 20 jumper wires. Requires a 9V DC center-negative power supply, sold separately.
