Title: First full build
Post by: Aksledr on September 10, 2013, 04:29:18 AM
Just wanted to say hello. Finished my first full build, a Kingslayer. I don't think i can say enough about how good this pedal sounds. It is not as pretty as the builds you guys do, but hey it's my first one. Also used some parts that i had on hand, so the build is not completely standard. Think it's safe to say that I now have the pedal building bug, big time.

Welcome aboard!

No matter what you think it looks like, I would encourage you to post pictures anyway.  It's a fun part of the community and it will be fun to look back on as you build more and develop your style.

It's a great feeling, isn't it? You can point at the amazing little box and say, "I made that!"

Ok, you shamed me into it. Remember, it is not strict to build sheet. Some of the parts i had on hand and used them up.

Wow good work man.  Not an easy first build.  Really like the gold lettering on black. Nice work!

Great work man.

Nothing to be ashamed of whatsoever. It's a hell of a lot neater than the stuff I'm doing!

As long as it sounds good who cares if it's insides aren't too pretty?

No shame involved.  Be proud of that, it's a very solid build, even if it hadn't been your first.

Everyone else already said it, but I'll say it again. That's a build to be proud of.

Yeah, that's pretty ambitious and it looks fine. 
Good luck finding room for all the other pedals you're going to HAVE TO build now.

Thx for all the good words. Have decided to get really ambitious and the next two will be the tremulous lune and a 5 knob compressor.
