I just remembered---my DIY journey began 10 years ago +2 days. I registered at DIYSB on Dec.13 2004 before building my first pedal. Man, it has gone quick! Looking back, I do feel some pride in what I have been able to accomplish in that time starting with knowing nothing at all about electronics or pedals. I still have a long way to go as far as learning the electronics, but I think I could design and build just about any analog pedal now. But really, the biggest thanks goes to DIYSB because I do not think I would have gotten started without it. And, the internet haha! So, thanks to Aron. And Tonepad, GGG, ROG, AMZ, FSB, and GEOFEX. Such amazing resources available to everyone for the cost of a internet connection. We are all truly are blessed with limitless knowledge these days.

Congratulations!  I, too, am really grateful for the generous dispensing of knowledge around these parts.  I know I would never have attempted this hobby if I was on my own; you guys make it not only possible, but really fun and inspiring!  Thank you!

+1, it starts with "just a Rangemaster", then it's on to the Dr Boogies, then Lovetone, next thing you know you're building synths...

Congrats Brian!
I know if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't have given pedal building a second look. And I am pretty sure I am not the only one.
You have created such a pleasant community in those 10 years and I am proud to be a member.
Here's to another 10 years!!!
