SOOOOO GOOOD DAAAAAN

Here's my latest in my series of Mascis color themed pedals so I can get my groove on purple style:
MusicPCB Tap Tempo Trem. Fucking killer trem. I don't usually care for tremolo, but this thing can literally do anything you want.
I learned that I will NEVER AGAIN solder at 3 in the morning while zoning out. Nor will I EVER use 18 guage wire for a build ever again.
Hmph. Such a good pedal.

DIY amp I made as my highschool senior project.

It's a High Octane from ax84.com. Didn't purchase any kit or parts from that website, just downloaded the schematic. Bought everything from other vendors.
Didn't turn out too bad for my first guitar amp build.

Lemme know what you think!

No no no, 18 was like trying to stick a bendy straw into each through hole on the PCB. It was SO thick. I usually use 22 which is thin

hahahaha sorry I didn't catch it :( Morning grogginess!

And I used to use 20 gauge which I found to be too thick after I was introduced to 22. I always feel like when I use 24 and 26 I'm going to tear the wires apart :( haha
