It Only Took 25 Years To Get Here

I have been dreaming of building pedals for more than two decades and I finally, FINALLY, got around to doing it. I'm starting this blog to document and share my experience with others. I hope it will be fun for everyone. I'm already amazed at the online resources and pedal building community that I have found and I want to contribute. I think my story is a common one, when I was a kid I would take my toys apart and marvel at the electronic components and wonder what was going on inside that circuit. I'm surprised I never burned the house down when I found a Heathkit in the basement that belonged to my Dad and just randomly connected components before plugging the AC power supply into the wall. No smoke came out. My guardian angels were watching over me once again. Later I went to West Virginia University and received a degree in Computer Engineering, a hybrid of Electrical and Software Engineering. I've been an on-and-off guitar player (and more recently a bass player) for 28 years. I've been steady at it for the past eight years and continue to try to improve my musicianship. Every few weekends I play in the contemporary worship band at Community United Methodist Church, where I and my family are members. So, if you're reading this post, thanks for coming. Now let's have some fun building guitar pedals...
