I've had the strangest phenomenon lately...

Builds pedal for self: works great
Builds pedal as gift for friend: works great
Builds pedal for someone paying money for it: something breaks/malfunctions within a month

SERIOUSLY. And I put considerably more care into ones that I know are being sold instead of kept or given away.

Got me all like  :o :o :o

Yep. Took a page right out of midwayfair's playbook. This is freaking fantastic. Holy cow. I can't stop looking at it.

Ya'll seen these yet?

Can't exactly ascertain the size of the thing, but the bit about power consumption suggests that these could be pretty pedal-friendly.

Just checked the poll results. 40 votes, and we apparently haven't helped you one bit.  ;D

BAHAHAHA

Took me a minute to realize what just happened, as I had seen the image pre-coyote.

Well played, Bean  8)

Some of you may remember from my PIF a couple years ago...

I once worked on the same nonfunctioning PCB on and off for about 9 months before I realized that the polarity protection diode was in backwards.

SO good. So so good. Geez. Why didn't I think of this.

What this picture doesn't show is how epicly rockstar Dane looked. Black boots, leather jacket, the works.

Well....

...as rockstar as one can be when playing an event called "Girls with Guitars"

;D

Something epic happened yesterday.



Had the pleasure of meeting this fine fellow, our beloved midwayfair, and enjoying some tasty libations with him prior to a show in Baltimore last night. I am pleased to report that he is as kind and endearingly snarky in person as he is on the forum and was a very gracious host while I was in town. We discussed life, music, pedals, beer, badly behaving band members, and all sorts of other nonsense.

It was a lovely reminder of how much I appreciate this fine forum and the people in it.

This is great! There is a lot to be said for making that leap. It takes a lot of courage to make that change and I salute you. I also salute your wife, who made the leap with you, for being so supportive. That speaks volumes about the type of people you both are and the relationship you have together. I wish you the best!

Yes. She was a HUGE factor in me coming out here and trying all of this. She was convinced (and was probably right) that I'd never be happy if I didn't at least give it a shot.

Congratulations! It's so cool that the pedals you built from the amazing circuits offered on this forum are being used so well. Good for you!!

Yes. I'm certainly not the first person to be using them on such stages, but it's yet more affirmation that the things offered here are at or beyond pro level. Hats off to all of our amazing designers who make our musical adventures that much more fun.

It's also super fun to see the gear nerds approach the stage before/after a show to see what we're using and have no idea what those pedals are  ;D

Yes! Phenomenal work. This is so elegant. This is one of my favorite OD circuits... stacks well, great gain range and EQ options... it's one of the few that has survived several house cleanings.
