Hello from the Metro East of St Louis

    Hi everyone. My name is Bobby.  I've been lurking here since 2013 and over time I've just sort of gravitated to this forum above the others.  I really dig the atmosphere and the members' contributions and regard for each other.
   I am a newb when it comes to guitar related stuff. I just decided to learn to play two years ago and I'm turning 40 soon, so maybe I'm one of those midlife crisis guys.
No matter, because I am pretty pleased with my choice. 
    I bought a schecter custom tempest and a fender vibro champ xd ad got started.

A few months later I bought a new reissue tubescreamer and a standard crybaby.

I noticed some tone suckage , googled that, then started reading about center negative tip power supplies, and somehow decided to build a rat circuit.

I started with a synthrotek board, a mouser order and didn't sleep for days.  I totally jacked up that board, but I was hooked.

I like to etch and I'm just starting to play with eagle.
I've built about 20 pedals and have countless projects started.  My thing is that once I finish a build I want to start over and do it again, but better.
I just started powdercoating in my garage , so I'm really excited to share a bunch of build reports.
