Shoot…. Any of his pedals to have would be super cool.. His artwork alone is worth displaying on a pedalboard… even if the pedal just made fart noises 🤣

I'm tallying up all my receipts on a spreadsheet because I'm eventually going to get tax documents for reverb this year for being a seller.... Put all my stuff from pedalpcb, tayda, stompbox parts and love my switches on a sheet to see what I've spent in 2022.... Turns out i'm fairly close to breaking even on this little hobby.... right now I'm $35 in the hole verses what I've sold... Not too shabby.. I've given away a ton of pedals + I still have about a dozen pcb's to populate. I told myself I'f I'm not totally in love with a pedal i'll sell them.... So far the only thing that stays on my board is a kliche'.... Haven't built anything else that i'm head over heela with except the Arachnid I built with all reverbs... I need to build another.. One of my friends literally stole it off my board and sent me $100 on venmo for it..lol.. He wasnt taking no for an answer... but since then pedalpcb has been out of the custom eeprom chips so I cant build one to replace the one on my board.

I don’t spend nearly as much as some on pedal stuff, seemingly. Still, I worry from time to time. Part of the reason I got into building pedals was because I could never justify spending $250 on a pedal, only to have it never leave my house. If I could build that same pedal for $50…that makes way more sense to me. Of course, 50 builds at $50 adds up…

My wife says that it evens out: yea, I may not be saving any money, but if I just buy the pedal, I lose out on the knowledge gained from building it, on tue enjoyment of building the pedal. It’s about the experience, not the final product. Sometimes art can’t be measured in dollars and sense…
