Hi all!

I'm a super 'noob' that has caught the pedal building bug big time!! This is my first post, but I've been reading and trying to absorb as much information from all of the Yoda-like minds on these boards (many thanks and much kudos to all the pedal builders out there

!!)

I ordered my first couple of kits from Mod Kits – "The Pink Floyd – Animals" (Pusuader Tube Drive) and the "Bicycle" (Verb) back in May I think? And actually while I was waiting for the kits to arrive I built my very first pedal based on one of their layouts the "Millie-pede" (Thunderdrive) – in honour of my beautiful baby daughter 'Millie'.

Since then I've been busy drilling, painting, sticker applying, soldering, (along with lots of cheering when all goes well mixed with much swearing when things go awry!) Just wanted to start with reasonably simple tagboard type stuff while I get my confidence and soldering chops up before I moved to the PCBs, so have built the Beavis Trotsky Drive, Bazz Fuzz, Zwiss Army Knife, Lovepedal COT50, LPB-1, Fuzz Factory Turret mainly from layouts on tagboardeffects.

I've just received my first 4 boards from Mad Bean in the post and (with brand new solder tip installed) took the plunge and soldered up the Hipster Fuzz – rocked it and it works! Yay! Will box it up in the coming week and post.

So here goes – here's some pics of some of the outsides/insides (please excuse my spaghetti wiring, still working on improving that
