You've already seen the build report so, this is more of a build appreciation / ass kissing thread lol. My man Chris, aka @thewintersoldier, sent me this badass Russian Big Muff! When I first started building effects pedals, I kept seeing these build reports by this person "thewintersoldier". I had no idea who this person was but, I instantly became a fan. The circuits were things I wanted to own and build. The quality and attention to detail were top notch. The aesthetics and themes of these builds were awesome. I thought to myself, "Someday I want to build some shit like that!". Fast forward many, many months later and I build a Man O' War. Next thing I know, I'm getting complimented about my build from this guy. "Holy crap! This is friggin awesome!" I think to myself. From there, things just began to snowball. We start chatting through pm's. We start trading parts. etc... etc... until the point we're at now, where I consider Chris a friend. The guy has helped me so much, that I have pedal board of effects that he built for me or, supplied the major parts for. I can't thank him enough for his generosity, taking me under his wing, and showing me ways to be a better effects builder. On top of that, he builds and sends me my favorite fuzz pedal of all time. Thank you so much Chris!

Awesomesauce! 8)
Thanks Clinton, I had fun doing this and I'm glad it will get lots of use. I had a lot of people around here help me out and show me the ropes while pushing me to be a better builder through generosity of both time and parts. The list of people is so long that it feels like the whole forum. I'm glad I'm finally in a position to do the same and see that soon enough you will too. That's what I love about this little corner of the internet and I hope it always stays that way for the new batch of builders.
Very cool!
