His eyes are amazing!! I'm sure he sounds good with a lot of sustain and feedback! Mine needs a lot of fresh batteries to do the job ( he's gonna get his first birthday party on august).
Congrats  ;)

:) thanks man. Its tough for sure. Like Snz728 said if you still have the motivation to build it will be during the late nights. My building has become goal oriented. Instead of sitting down and trying to bust out the entire project in one sitting, i will try to get all of the resistors done this time, ok this time caps, etc... Congrats again, your life will never be the same  ;D It's a good thing  ;)

I agree with the above post.  I've got two little ones with another due in October.  Pedal building is an hour here, hour there after bed time.  ;D

I have 2 now, a pair of real sweet boys.  The newest one came on Feb 11th and big brother just turned 2 in June.  Pedal and amp building is all done at night after everyone is sleeping, sometimes if both boys nap at the same time there is a good hour of shop time, but lately they have been doing a good job of staggering their naps.  I definitely try to get small blocks of work done as well.  All the IC sockets, then all the resistors, then all the caps etc.  The hardest part is having time to visualize the layout in the enclosure and make sure everything is gonna fit.  My Bad Stone clone ended up not having enough space for the jacks to live happily with everything else because I didn't have enough uninterrupted time to think through it clearly.  So it is harder to get stuff built, but not impossible.  Congrats on the little one!
