Hallo guys and gals,
I started posting here and just now discovered this section. So I think I have some introduction to do...
I'm from Germany and started building pedals about 12 years ago but stopped the same year. I build a few amps over the years and recently I had to switch to Pedals since Amp building is just to damn expensive (for a Student). I'm studying electrical engeneering but hope to graduate next month.
I'm a lousy guitar player, but apparently I have a thing for diy :D I'm super into Overdrives and Distortion sounds but as I was building pedals in the past my big goal was to build all the Lovetones but back in the day there were no schems and boards available. Apparently that changed over the last years (thanks Alan and LaceSensor, you helped me a lot over the past few weeks and prepare for a few questions when it comes to actuall building those bad boys :D). Also I'm a bit of a uC fan, working on a few Midi projects but proceed reaaaaaly slow there since I have no time for it.
Well that's me. This community is great and I hope one day I'll be able to give something back.
Regards Andreas
Welcome! You'll find plenty of overdrive and distortion circuits around here!
