Am I Slacking Off or Are You Guys Getting Better?

I am in recent awe of all the projects you guys have dished out recently. Build reports with multiple pedals, super slick artwork, and LEDs that use LEDs to light the LEDs. This got me thinking...I haven't really built anything in months!! Sure, I've breadboarded a ton of crap but not much soldering. I posted a muffin fuzz breadboard build last week that took me about a week to finish it and not due to difficulty. I simply haven't had the time to get around to it. Weekend projects, holidays, and spending time with my family have gotten in the way from building. Don't get me wrong I love doing those other things (except with in-laws of course), but when the wife wants some alone time I tend to go play rather than build. I definitely need to squeeze more build time into my day and actually box something up rather than just populate a board.

Rant aside, you guys are definitely getting better at your builds and making me look like a chump. Keep it up!!!

Don't worry, I am just waiting for my new soldering iron to come in the mail. The bar shall be lowered when it arrives

Nah, you’re doing it right. My rig is basically just a test setup right now to make sure my builds work. These pedals are supposed to be played through. After this next batch, I need to back off of building for awhile and actually play. The whole reason to use pedals is to inspire playing right? I have so many new pedals that I have yet to fully explore them all. One of my sons asked me to get out my Mother 32 synth the other day and after plugging into a few of the new pedals I was like DAMN! So much sonic exploring to be done!
