Had this huge fear that once I finished the Maestro FSH-1 pedal, it wouldn't work, that I had missed something, misunderstood uf to nf conversion, wrong part used, etc. Couldn't easily test it on a breadboard, so I had to really wire it up in a pedal. To my amazement, the pedal does work. Joy!

Got the 2 enclosures I had ordered in. Designed, drilled, & painted. Nearly done with the board for the clone pedal. At the point where I start wiring a switch, pots, etc. It's too late to keep at it tonight. Realized on my b&w printout, purple, green, & red wires all look gray. Hmm. #guitarpedal

Holyyyyyy....I am a tired exhausted puddle on the floor. What a day for @vrubinobs.bsky.social! This observatory is incredible. Highly, HIGHLY recommend joyscolling around Rubin's Skyviewer. I quite like this galaxy - which is your favorite? 🔭🧪 skyviewer.app

Growing up Baptist in the South, it was always the end times. Given recent events, I think it's a good idea to take a deep breath and an honest look at Bibical End Times in the Bible (or lack thereof). Que Dan McClellan, who does all the homework for us. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjvq2U4m/

Ted Cruise will say anything for a vote, but given recent events, it's important to examine why some Christians will always side with Israel instead of using critical thinking. Thanks to Dan McClellen for explanation and biblical context. Screenshot not my doing. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjvqdmBN/

Big pedal week, I hope. Have 4 finished pedal circuits and 2 painted enclosures. 2 enclosures on order. Currently building a clone of a Maestro FSH-1. Still waiting on a few lighting-related parts, but will begin assembly of at least 1 finished pedal circuit in the morning. #guitarpedal #diypedal

Finally finished an old project. Loretta aka "Hungry" in a Hearse, more drive than fuzz. Sister to the Belle fuzz pedal. Trim pots for transistors & LEDs. Volume, Gain, Tone, & Bias pots. The blue LEDs clip & react to playing. The switch is for two different gains because why make your mind up?

New pedal soon. Did the enclosure design. Drilled one hole 1 mm too deep. That led to the discovery of recessed lights. Hehe. Maybe there's an equation out there that allows for the calculation of how many "Happy Accidents" one can have before catastrophic dumpster fire. The Bob Ross Equation.

We strongly advise the public not to do this, it’s unsafe. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandkids swimming in Rock Creek, a Washington waterway so contaminated with sewage runoff that swimming has been banned citywide for over 50 years.

Finished another pedal today, "Belle," a version of the Fuzz in a Jar but with a Bias & Tone plus a switch for two different voicings. With the Bias control, it cleans up very nicely becoming more of a Drive than a Fuzz. I drill & paint the enclosures. The artwork is from Monters and Martians.

So a while back, I was watching a guitar video about some mountain folk and someone mentioned a jar with a fuzz pedal in it. Whiskey Jar I assume, but I decided to do my own. Did you know that there's a whole industry and market for antique and replica antique jars? #guitarpedal #fuzz #fuzzpedal

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

We’re not sure what separates the Trump admin from the “terrorists” it claims to be fighting. You watch whats happening and can’t even process it—what the hell is going on is all we can think. Our Constitution grants everyone within this country the same legal protections, regardless of citizenship.

Been working on two very different pedal projects. Nearly done with one. I put a fuzz pedal in a [REDACTED]. Kind of a design and dexterity challenge. Turns out the fuzz pedal sounds amazing. Building another for a regular enclosure. Will post the [REDACTED] one a few days. No, it's not a tuna can.

One of the crappy things about being sick is how you lose track of time. The week is nearly half over, and I haven't accomplished anything I had planned for last Thursday. Yes, I know tomorrow is Wednesday, but I was thinking of last Thursday.

Resurrected a previous pedal project fixing a pedal that I had broken. I put it in a larger enclosure & added a UV LED. I'm learning why so many handbuilt pedals are in large enclosures. Monster Girl! Single knob Fuzz with toggle switch for two voicings, one having more lows. #guitarpedal

Tornadoes rolled through today. Not as bad as it could have been, but a town nearby was hit, & I don't know how bad, yet. Also thought I killed the pedal I just built. Put it in the middle of my pedalboard. Sounded great at first but then sounded broken, starved. Some fuzz must be 1st in the chain.

Behold. Finished Single Transistor Fuzz loosely based on a Bazz Fuzz Pedal. Sounds like a dying amp from the 60s, low-end fuzzy, warm, and like the transistor is struggling to hold it together. Think White Stripes. I call it The Spectre.

Finally finished the single transistor fuzz pedal tonight. Below are photos of its design and construction. Unlike last time, I used a q-tip to apply the copper tape to the inside of the enclosure. #guitar #guitarpedal #diypedal.

Today, I did a simple boost pedal. Wouldn't say clean because it's adding a touch of something. Will explore this further. Enclosures are painted. Will finish the pedals later this week. Need a break from breathing solder. #guitar #guitarpedal #diypedal

Well, spent all day and most of the night. Designed, breadboarded, and built a single transistor fuzz pedal with led clipping. May not look like much, but does work, and I really needed a win. Tomorrow, will cut and start painting an enclosure for it. #guitar #guitarpedal #diypedal

On vacation next week. Will be building at least one maybe two fuzz pedals. Trying to get a darlington transistor to work. Maybe a boost pedal with a smidge of clipping. Just need some completed projects on the shelf. #guitar #guitarpedals

When I started tinkering with guitar pedals I knew there would be failures. I just didn't know they would all happen at once. First major pedal project died this week on the circuit board. I think I got two resistors mixed up, poorly understood routing connections, & sucked at repairs. Learning.

Nearly 4 am, and I had to get out of bed to fit a led bulb into a little housing socket and gorilla glue them together. That way, it'll be ready to go tonight if I get that far in finishing both guitar pedals. It's good to look forward to something for a change. #guitar #guitarpedal #pedalbuilding

There's better living in the circuits. Finished this a few days ago. Been waiting for it to be warm enough to finish painting the pedal enclosure. I have this one and another different pedal ready to be completed in the next few days. Wanted more practice before the next one. #guitarpedal #guitar
