Russian Big Muff from a friend

[blackhatboojum]

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!

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.
