so, a while back, I quit my job and went back to school for electrical engineering. I was motivated by how much fun I'd been having building pedals and other gear for myself. Learned a bunch of stuff, then started getting poor. took a job doing engineering work for a company producing AC drives and motion controls (robot stuff). It wasn't that fun. ::)
anyway, I got the axe last week. and while my wife is a little stressed, I'm seeing it as a great opportunity! after a year of working mandatory overtime and not being able to get any of the work I REALLY want to do done, I'm finally back in the saddle and building custom pedals and such again.
So here's the official offer: anybody need anything built? I'd rather build for Phans than anybody else :)
Here's something I put out a couple weeks back for a guy in NYC. 4-in-1 pedal, Ross Comp > Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret > 3-way Univibe emulator > my own 20dB clean boost. Order switcher for the comp and drive, germanium dirt switch for the boost. Customer named it an supplied the artwork, I had it powdercoated and screened, then added an etched and tinned name plate (same as all the circuit boards!) for teh mojoz. ;D sorry about the pics, I'm no photographer. This does everything from tasteful, subdued tones, to Hendrix at woodstock purple haze tone, nailed. And dead quiet, too, thanks to shielded teflon/silver wiring. Not my best work, it's sloppier than I'd like, but I had to tear it apart and bust out the scope to find a bad FET. It didn't go back together as neatly as it did the first time :-[

so, anybody need anything? ;D *spam*
Dude thats dope.. Would love to hear it in action
Very cool!
yeah, would have loved to record a demo, but unfortunately, I had to get it shipped to the custy. Maybe next time.
