Title: Glitterattii & My Pedal-builder Helper
Post by: joshua_eiler on March 13, 2013, 04:31:53 PM
We finished this pedal and we love how it turned out!

I know this isn't a complete build yet but I had the greatest time with my 9 year old building this.  It was a spur-of-the-moment build of the Glitterattii.  He helped do some soldering and other things, and you should have seen how excited he was when we rocked it!  :)

Way to take time to hang out with your son! It restores me faith in humanity to see such stuff go on. :)

I love playing music with my little girls (I've got 4 of them)!

Great looking build too! How does it sound? I've been debating between this and the Quasar.

Man, that's fabulous. My little girl painted my bear hug compressor. Now I have to keep it forever.

Yeah, that's great.  I agree with Josh; doesn't get any better.

That's rad! I hope at least one of my children will be into music let alone pedal building!

Good luck with that. I have 4 children and have been actively playing music for almost my 41 years. My brother and uncle are musicians as well. 1 of my 4 children is a musician till he got a girlfriend and then...nothing. He was going to sell his drums(full set of saban cymbals and pearl export series) so I put them in storage and won't give him a key. Now he is 22 and I think ultimately he thanks me for it. My youngest is 5 and loves to sing and dance,so we'll see how that goes.

sorry for the derail

The picture is my youngest of 5 and I'm grateful that they each play  an instrument!  My oldest is becoming quite a guitar player and is in the middle of building his first pedal (Ego Driver).  As far as the Glitterattii, it is a pretty over the top overdrive with nice treble and bass controls!  When we finish it I'll post some pics and clips!
