9yo boxing a LAUDAH :)

Hi!

At least partly inspired by Willybombs "Kids Pedal Workshop", i spent two evenings letting the youngest guy here building his own stompbox. Great fun. Of course i helped him with instructions all the way, but basically he did all the moments himself, everything from populating the pcb to drilling enclosure and offboard soldering ... . The solders doesnt look that pro, but it powers up nicely:)

The circuit is LAUDAH, my take on the Jack Orman Mosfet boost / mb Thunderpuss.

Cheers

Love that purple vein paint. Looks great.  All he needs to do is cut the extra lead ends on the 3PDT and it will look like hes been doing it for months. He did a great job.

That's awesome! Does your kid play guitar, too?

Nicely done!

How hard was it to sit back and watch and not get your hands in there?

Fantastic! My 6 year old has been chomping at the bit to get on some solder. And yes, does he play also?

Wow!

Now you can start to lean back, dream up pedals and have them built...

Thanx guys:) Ill pass on some comments to him:)

Actually not. He plays some piano. When it comes to this stompbox hobby, he has shown some great interest though. He's like "wow that looks cool" about a blue cap. Or "wow, is that a CHIP?". Also, he has done some paintjob on my boxes. 

Nicely done!

Good question! I think it was a bit of good therapy for me... To NOT doublecheck every solder joint and re-do them for quality reasons etc... Also it was a bit of a challenge to set up the task. To keep it "just enough difficult". To sum it up, it went almost surprisingly smooth.

Cheers!
