You know when you Spotify suggest new music to you and the bio says "our main inspiration is Bikini Kill" so you turn off the new band because you haven't listened to Bikini Kill in awhile then you decide you're just going to listen riot grrrl music all day.
I'm going to do a small batch of silicon Harmonic Percolator clones based on the Harmonic Jercolator. I'm calling it the Jerk Chicken. Thanks the Wife Lady for the awesome artwork which I turned into water slide decals.

Nice haul. Looking forward to see what you build.
Looks like s haul from Tayda... i love Tayda day...
Just finished an Ovtavia/Octavio - if my voice sounds like I've been sitting in the garage for the last 4 hours building guitar pedals and drinking beer, that's because I have... #diyguitarpedals
Finished boxing up my Big Muff #diypedal last night. Had a go at decals for the first time with some artwork my wife made. It sounds great but I finished it too late to really play it. Can't wait!
I'd read it...
Just finished this (not so) little circuit for an original Big Muff Pi. I seriously can't wait to box this thing up. I tracked down the parts for an MK1 Tone Bender awhile ago. I may as well throw that thing in the garbage now cuz I have a new favourite... LET THEM EAT PI! #diyguitarpedals
It's just generic stripboard. Nothin' special!
Still waiting for the parts to finish off my RAT build, so I guess I'm prepping something else in the mean time. This is gonna be a Big Muff - again, waiting on transistors, but I can do everything else while I wait. 20 x 17 - that's a big board... #guitarpedals #diyguitarpedals
Interesting choice on the Prince. One that needs more than 300 characters to talk about. There should be some sort of annual camping trip where we get to drink beer and talk hard topics. We could call it something simple like "camp" and it could be an extension of an already established book club.
I finished the album this morning. Quite liked it! The first half was a bit more to my taste, but that's mostly because it felt more familiar to what I already listen to. I like branching out and will need to give it a few more spins.
I'll finish it off tomorrow. It's getting late where I am.
Edit - 14 for the year. I may have a problem...
Wait, now it's all Joy Division... instrumentals are all Joy Division and Floyd (so far), vocal style more Goth- Bauhaus, Damned. Very much digging it. The inspiration is clear, but the music original .
Nice. About to box up number 13 for the year. Watch out, it becomes a bit of an addiction. Welcome to the club. You can't go wrong with fuzz when you're just starting out, they're easy and sound so different. Find a 70s or 80s fuzz sound for something different.
I've only put in a few minutes so far. Trying to find out about shoegaze... my novice ear is hearing a lot of Pink Floyd. Am I off on that, or correct? #learning
Getting started on a Proco Rat cuz I can't be bothered doing the enclosure for the last one (simple EQD speaker cranker)... waiting on a couple parts so I'll have to leave it here. Start prepping the next one or do enclosures... hard to decide.

Sounds like quite a few things I'm already into! Looks like I'm about to do a deep dive. Looking forward to it!
Love the socks. For those of us thinking about getting into shoegazer, where do we start? I've listened to a little and liked it, just don't know an entry point. Punk, blues, and country is usually my thing, but there's so much in between there...
Lucky number 13 for the year. Naga Viper by Catilanbread. Like most loud boxes, it makes loud, but this one makes loud while boosting treble as well.

There's so much out there for DIY pedals. You can start with PCB kits that are basically just lego with soldering. Then do stripboard (lots of layouts online), then modify existing circuits of your favourites. It's great fun.
I've been sitting by the pool drinking a Negroni, and now I'm out of Negroni and don't what to do... if you're reading this, I'm out the back near the pool, bring Negronis.
Two cats sitting on a computer printer.
The cats are back from the cattery! For the rest of the day they shall walk around the house screaming just so everyone knows they're here. As is tradition...
Travel hack: if your cab is taking you to the airport at 10:30. Pack the night before then wake up at 5AM anyway then sit around nervously waiting thinking said cab will be late.
Last day of the holiday today. Heading home soon to see these two fur balls.
Buy a bigger house? You'll have more space for guitars too! Hahaahah
Nice. I'm going to steal this storage option for excessive DIY pedals that don't live on my board. I've also started a new feed for DIY pedals if you want to follow. Pretty empty at the moment, but it will grow bsky.app/profile/did:...
Inside wiring of a home made Vox Tone Bender guitar pedal.
This is a DIY guitar pedal that I made awhile ago and probably my favourite build so far - a Vox Tone Bender built to original 60's specs. Also my most expensive build cuz I had to track down new old transistors from Eastern Europe. Worth it and it sounds rad.

Box it! Then you can make loud with it.
