Build Log

Not a build, but I was wondering if anyone kept any sort of build log of all of the pedals they have built? I think I probably take a picture of each one, but I have no idea how many I have built at this point. Each time I think I have a close number, I remember another one that I haven't counted. Do I have a problem? I think so.

I have counted over 200 at this point, I just wish that I had kept a log. I have never been that much of a neat freak but it would have been cool to have something like that looking back.

Not sure this is the right place to post, but I have been thinking about it lately.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing the other day...
I don’t exactly how many it’s between 300 and 400 since I first started...
I wish I had kept some kind of log...
 
I keep a detailed log of everything since 2017-2018ish. Helps me keep track of what I have ordered and built and painted and posted. IT is just a simple excel spreadsheet, I can share if anyone is interested
 
I have a simple PowerPoint doc, 5 pedals per page with a pic, date, description, and any mods. Last I looked I’m somewhere in the 50s, most are on vero. I have a lot of gut shot pics on my iPhone (organized in the Files app rather than the regular Photos app). I wish I had more gut shots because I like to reference them for scheming out what can fit in the internal layout for vero builds.

I about peed my pants. I need to keep a log just so I don't start building duplicates :cool:

Tell me about it, I got so many duplicate guitarpcb boards from all those package deals he runs I'll never build them all, especially now that I've started with these

There are Muffs and then there are Muffs. So many different voicings. You gotta like heavy compression to appreciate a BMP. I have a Hoof, my 1st PedalPCB build. I also have a Swollen Pickle (snicker), which I don't like much, too muddy. I prefer the ones that don't let too much bass thru, helps control the mud. I have a Pryocumulus in the queue, I'm going to add a variable bass cut to that one, something along the lines of the Musket.

For some reason I've never warmed up to Rats or Muffs and I have bunch of them. I keep hoping I'll like THIS one

This is the whole reason I build pedals. Certain thing have never clicked with me but then there are days I go “oh now i get it”. I never cared much for rats, built the mbp slow loris and love it. Couldn’t find a muff that sat in a mix well for me, built the pyrocumulous and bingo. Always thought I was a fuzz face guy then built a bunch of tone benders and went “yep”.

This complete rabbit hole hobby of ours, never ending fun.

Still love fuzz faces, never going to have less than 20 in the house.

Have you tried the Elk Sustainar variant?
 
Looks like a pretty standard BMP clone, except for one of the tone caps. I've played thru a similar Muff. Anything particular you like about that one?
