It was cool to see your space and some of the cool stuff you’re working on! Tubes are above my ability right now but will be doing some of your projects soon!
I knew it! I could feel that you guys were waiting for me to leave so you all could dose.

It was absolutely wonderful to put IRL people to forum posts. You solder sniffers are my kinda nerds!

I mean... this possibility was certainly on the table, considering the festive garb.
Next time we'll have to lean heavy into the Chicago thing and sloppily eat Portillo's beef the entire meeting... I'll print bibs!
Thanks @bean for hosting, I really enjoyed that. And thanks for lettin' me into the club this last year, everyone. It's been a major education!

Well you guys talked me into it, I just ordered a couple cheap guitar body blanks. I'm going to try my hand at building a damn guitar.

There's a guy in town selling mahogany blanks that were meant for Gibson. I'm tempted to buy some.

I enjoyed hearing the thoughts about five dollar diodes and possibilities of contemporary germanium devices. I even read a bit about them here - though that article is 8 years old. No mention of fuzz pedals though! https://spectrum.ieee.org/germanium-can-take-transistors-where-silicon-cant
I brought up my nascent interest in the Empress Zoia - a kitchen sink modular patch kind of pedal - then watched a few more YT videos. By and large people find it impossible to use and that's usually a bad sign. Not sure what my next step will be. I showed you guys a large SHARC development board but that is not exactly pedalboard ready. Be nice if someone made such a thing like whatever that Line6 DIY DSP pedal was years ago. Obviously I can and do come up with weird stuff on the FV-1 (my latest is an attempt to capture Mary Halvorson's "fractured reality" that she gets on a Line6 DL4 with two foot pedals). But it's also a bit limiting.

I know a lot of people in the synth world like the Zoia it seems, I ***think*** Bo Beats did a tutorial on it but not 100% sure.

What it can do is pretty cool, although the looper is limited to 16 seconds and doesn't have a decay setting currently. For me it's the typical problem of a somewhat impenetrable UI - you can't just look at it and tell what it's doing, never mind that it supports 64 "pages". I'm glad some people have figured it out but pretty sure it'd wind up either doing very trivial things or collecting dust on the shelf. In that regard the Mod Dwarf with a tablet connected via wifi would be better, but that is another dead end. Also thinking about PiSound with MODEP (more or less the same as a Dwarf) but not sure how much energy I can devote to hacking things together that might not work. That's the sort of thing I get paid to do and am pretty selective about doing it for "fun".
