Build Log

While I like a good Muff as much as the next guy I like Skreddy's takes best. Chuck, if you like them with less bass you might like the Skreddy P19.

I've said it before but I like to add some mids to a Muff and not use the second gain stage diodes. That makes it closer to a Colorsound Supa Tone which is a great pedal. Less compressed as a result more touch responsive. Still plenty compressed if you dime the gain but there are some great sludgey OD tones there as well.
 
I was wondering if anyone kept any sort of build log of all of the pedals they have built?

I have counted over 200 at this point, I just wish that I had kept a log.

I started getting together some sort of build log a few weeks ago, then kinda left it sitting, but just now got it together, more or less.

For me it started at the end of 2017 with a workshop held by the guy behind LAL (check him out as a musician, DEFECTRO, he also builds the coolest instruments and likes to play with fire on stage, here's the peformance I saw, part of it, amazing stuff!).

Anyway, 2020 is my 3rd season so to speak and it seems, I've build 38 pedals so far.

Build log is here, if you'd like to take a look.

Those look great, what do you use for your pedal graphics?

Thanks!

For graphics I used some photo transfer potch stuff in the beginning, but that was a bit of a pain in the neck and sometimes didn't turn out good, so I had to sand it down and try again.
Then I switched to the water decal (or self-adhesive) paper Musikding sells. That works fine.
Clearcoat on top et voilà.
 
A while ago last year I was almost building one a day, mainly vero but some PCBs. I've slowed down a lot now because it feels like I've built my favourites now and I struggle to see the point of just building for buildings sake. There is always the element of "maybe this next pedal will be the one..." but generally I doubt I'll find anything better than what I already have. So now it's more a case of building to try things out, such a building a Rat or Expandora with a bass pot, or a BB with different diodes or something. I do like building Big Muffs for some reason which is a bit weird because I rarely play them! I do like them though.
