Hi everybody,
I'm Adán from Spain and this is my first topic in the forum! (I've been living in the shadows for a while....   :))

I started building pedals last summer with the projects Mr. Madbean released (my first build was a Serendipity and it remains in my pedalboard) and I have to say that this forum rules!!

I've learned a lot from you guys in the past six months (much more than in 4 years of electronic engineering studies)

This pedal is a Big Muff Pi (green russian specs) that I've built for a friend.



Gutshots:



and then, with a little help....

Great build and nice etching! You´r right, I´ve learned from 0 and this forum probably gave me 80% of my knowledge

edit: no había leído lo primero, aquí tienes un paisano para lo que necesites :)

Awesome build,so clean,and love the gratuitous shot with the Radiophonic album! :P
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

This.  It's obvious a lot of thought and careful planning went into building this.

Thanks to everybody.

@jimilee: I got the Radiophonic album in one of those Christmas PIFs, so I thought it would be nice to put a picture of it on my first topic.

Coming from a pedal-master like you this is so comforting :)

as an EE grad myself, i can't help but agree!

very precise etch, what method did you use?

I used Ferric Chloride.

If you have enough time check out Ruz's etchings, they're outstanding!

By the way, I tried to use press'n peel instead, but it went all wrong.. so I returned to trusty (and cheaper) glossy photo paper
