Completion of an earlier post. My 9 year old son and I finished this build last week. We built it from scratch, from blank copper to a rocking pedal. We did the enclosure design in Photoshop and etched it together. He put all the hardware on and helped me solder the switch. Great fun!
Man, that's great!
Very cool - What did you use to do the etching? The same solution to etch copper boards?
Man, that's a great looking etch! 8)
Very cool! Nice team effort!
Beautiful etch and its definitely something you can look back and remember the time your son and you built it. I have a pedal my wife painted and I love the memories it brings back.

Yup. Muratic acid and hydrogen peroxide! Amazing what you can do with that stuff!
I see what you did there with the Name. Awesome sharing a hobby with your kids and teaching 'em right at an early age. I should do the same with my Hooligans, one of which is a Caleb (C.J.) too

Awesome! 3 cheers for kids named Caleb!
Looks great.
My youngest boy (5) always wants to clip off the resistor wires after soldering. And he does a good job with it :-)
Awesome. I have visions of my son and I building a pedal together. He's 5 and helps out by cleaning the iron on the brass wire sponge. I did let him hold the iron while we tinned some wire yesterday though. Baby steps.
