I feel like I've built dozens of overdrive pedals but they keep disappearing... I think I have one finished one around right now. Does anyone else have this problem? For some reason OD just seems to be the pedal I sell to fund the next parts purchase or the pedal that a friend really has to have. Then the thought process is... Meh, I'll just build another one, it's just an OD... But I never seem to have more than one to choose from myself. Life is hard sometimes. 8)

OK, this "transparent" OD thing is officially out of hand.

My observation:
when selling DIY pedals in the classifieds, people never ask for anything other than Tubescreamer, OCD, Tone Bender, Big Muff. Nothing else.

So true. Fortunately (or unfortunately, I'm not sure) I have some friends that are after certain tone and don't really care what pedal gets them there.

I can't keep them either, I seem to have lost a klon, sold 2 more and a couple of tubescreamers. Every time I build one, somebody else just has to have it. I've managed to hold on to a tubescreamer but still have no klon.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

I have the opposite problem - my collection of overdrive/distortion/amp-sim circuits keeps growing!  I need to figure out how to get rid of my excess... :P

(Of course most of my builds are just tested boards and not boxed.  There must be a market for populated boards... :D)

Hmm I wonder where you could find people that wanted populated boards... I can't think of anywhere myself ;)

Are you using disappearing ink on your decals?
