i use a breadboard just simply to see if it's something i am going to use and if it is a pedal worth of committing to a box, it's easier to tune a pedal on a breadboard than it is to tweek once it's soldered and in a box, and so far i have yet to find a pedal design that sounded good as is they all need to be tuned and tweeked to some degree, specifically fuzzes, fuzz pedals are very funky devices, they are the most variable devices you can make, take very few parts yes, easy to put together yes, easy to get a good sound NO lol, seems everything effects a fuzz pedal, the ambient temperature, one cap sounds great the next one makes it sound like crap, even when both are theoretically identical, my recommended first build would always be a opamp clipper, MXR distortion +, or a DOD OD250 etc, any LM741 based pedal.
