Ever built a pedal and couldn't remember if you still had it?

[jimilee]

So I want to build a delay, so I start looking for one to build. Keeley magnetic echo looks good, but I can't remember if still I have it or I gave it away. I just found that, not only did I give it away, but I already built another one.

I find myself doing this way more than I want to admit. I've bought a few PCBs a few times and wonder why it seems so familiar while I'm populating the board....

I just tell myself it makes a great gift for a guitar (or bass) playing friend.

When a friend texts you and says, "hey you want that xxxx pedal back?" "Wait, I made one of those?" has happened to me at least twice this year.

Not only do I completely forget about pedals I have built but I forget about amp mods I have made. A while ago I posted on an amp forum about a possible amp mod to a Marshall style amp and someone answered with a link to a post I had made two years earlier about the very same mod. Apparently I liked it!

I've modded pedals for friends, forget about it and then redesign the same mod with the exact same changes.
So, at least I'm consistent...

At my worst I bought pedals I already had. So I got this shoe rack



That'll be a fun job for someone when I eventually die

I glad it just isn't me that looks like this. I've got something similar in addition to boxes of pedals I've built for fun (and on the rare occasion for profit). I'm sure when I die it'll be sold for pennies on the dollar.

Welcome to planet Gordo my friends.

Wait, you all have friends?

Must be nice…

Well, you did start a HATEful contest... what did you expect, The Buddy-System?

No. I just keep coming across PCBs I've already bought, when I see something I think "Oohhh, I should get that!".

When I die and they lay be to rest,
my stash of PCBs is gonna go, with all my parts I've guessed,
straight to the landfill and that's no lie
So much easier, less costly, to spirit away than all the pedals of that ftumch guy...

He's no longer my buddy, guy.

He's not my guy, pal.

I’m not your pal, friend.

I'm not your friend, amigo.

I've had to remove pedals from my cart because I found the schematic...... here....

What a great idea, I bought a similar rack, but like a dummy I put all my shoes on it.
