Title: Just introducing myself
Post by: drolo on September 02, 2014, 08:46:36 AM
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, feel free to move it if needed

I just wanted to introduce myself to the people here :-)

My name is David. I am a portuguese expat living in Belgium. I have been doing DIY pedals since the late nineties after seeing a schematic for a BluesBreaker in a German guitar magazine. Having done some electronics during my studies, I realized that building that pedal would probably not be that hard, and it wasnt. And I have never stopped since :-)

I have been previously hanging out on other forums but lately took a liking to this one that I find very active and motivating. Lots of great projects from Brian and other members. Great community initiatives as far as I have seen. I recently finished a Current Lover that I loved (no pun intended, I guess ...). I keep opening it up once in a while just to stare with amazemenet at all the stuff that they were able to cram into this little PCB ....

So after having been a lurker for a while I will hang out around here more often and hope I can also contribute a little :-)

Hi, Dave!

We have a members' projects section, hopefully you'll post a couple things in there ... especially your harmonic tremolo ...

Since you ask so kindly I might as well do :-)

Welcome David. I'm also excited to learn building tips from you. You've found the greatest community on the internet. I've never experienced the sheer willingness to help like I've seen in this community. I'm proud to be a part of this great place. Again, welcome. Steve.

Welcome David!! I have follow your projects at diysb and they are quite cool (I think I mentioned your tap-tempo phaser here once or twice...).

Happy to see you here, I'm sure your knowledge and experience is something we are all going to learn from.

Welcome to the board. Thanks for sharing your trem project as I can't wait to tackle that one at some point. I have been reading your blog for the past hour and you have some great stuff on there. I also really enjoyed the tracks you did for your wifes birthday. Great stuff.
