I’ve had guitars around for 30 years, but mostly acoustic, and I had never owned a pedal until this year.

Things have escalated quickly, and this is the 16th one I’ve built.

The first playable thing I built was a silicon fuzz face circuit on a bread board out of scrap parts from non-guitar electronics projects, and that sound got me totally hooked. I did another one on perfboard too, but haven’t boxed it so this is my first proper finished FF pedal. It does not disappoint. I didn’t bias it for voltage, just fiddled with it until I was happy with the sound and closed it up.

What a great hobby.

This is a second one wired without a 3pdt-board and I’m pretty happy with how it came out.

I hear you on the escalation......I finally cleaned up my office and did some re-org. This is the output of just one year.......and it's only the 125b pedals.....hahahah
