First Build Fatpants

[bakelo]

This is my first build. I know it's bit sloppy but it works.

Got the wrong resisters from mammoth when I ordered for R3 so I had to make a quick radio shack run. Also had to rebox and replace the input jack to solve some grounding issues I was having. Let me know what you think.

Special thanks to my friend sprayfe for help and all my the stupid questions

Nice job! What a beautiful feeling when you get your first box working! Did you caught the bug?

[DutchMF]

I agree with night-b, very nice! Nothing beats the feeling of a working first build, congrats! Welcome to the forum, if you're up for more complicated stuff, this the place to get some pedal-geniuses to help you (not counting myself, I only have a couple builds finished as we speak)!

Hopefully the first of many build reports.

Welcome and enjoy the "disease." lol

Woohoo!  Great booster, enjoy!

This is a really excellent first build - and on an etch, not a PCB. Good job!

Nice job, welcome to the club.

I'm pretty sure I see a PCB under there, but its still a nice build, it rocks!!

Good job on your first build!

Welcome to a hobby that will spin completely out of control. This time next year you will have built like 20 pedals

Looks better than my first build! Nice work.

Thanks for all the support. Also I am wondering what would be a great second build to follow up this pedal. I picked up a pcb for a mangler but I don't know if I want to deal with the positive grounding thing yet.

Something else with 2 knobs! 
I'll help you step up to an overdrive and then you can start on mod/delays;)

Lavache!  My all time favourite overdrive, and a pretty easy build

Seconded! Socket the diodes and it'll give you fun for ages. Want a new sound? Open it back up and swap some diodes around. Make one backwards. Experiment with different transistors. The circuit is practically bulletproof and the controls are dead simple.
