If all else fails Matt, you could always use a Birmingham screwdriver. 😉 @boo I assume that means a hammer? 😂

Is this the other book in question That's the chap! Hello, fellow Dummy @Deej I found that quite a straightforward book to follow - and helped my fill in a few gaps in my knowledge. TBH, it wa...

Spot the book That's spooky @deej - not only did you find a photo of the book, you found a photo of some bald bloke with a load of guitars, WITH the book!!

At least I've now got as far as unpacking it. @tv101 I wonder what that casing would look like painted in metal flake and candy paint? 😉

@mattbeels I actually started these kits just last year. I know nothing about electrickery and electrickeryonics, other than it's all trickery magic. Resistors and diodes and capacitors and chips a...

I wonder what that casing would look like painted in metal flake and candy paint? Indeed. I wonder!! If only there were a way to find out ......

But it will never happen with The Doors. Heathen @MattBeels. Ahhhhh - the Doors and the Velvets were definitely two of my "influences" back in the day. Actually, probably more so than Deep Purple or...

You know, sometimes I just can’t get into a band. I’ll appreciate them as musicians and like the bands that they’ve influenced but I just can’t like them. Deep Purple is one of those bands for me. The...

It does sound fun somehow but I think for me soldering onto the circuit board is what would drive me up the wall. I get too impatient with the really small and fiddly bits. @mattbeels If all else fai...

Although I love pedals I’ve never been all that keen on wiring and electrical work. Even though I love electric guitars and work as a tech, wiring just ain’t my thing. Over the years as I’ve learned h...

This is the kit - "Eagle Claw Overdrive" @tv101 Oberdrive eh? Looks great. What a cool website.

We don't actually have a toaster!! @tv101 No? That’s why you are making one. 😜

This is the kit - "Eagle Claw Overdrive". If anyone's thinking about building pedals, FuzzDog are *great*.

Oh, I know, it’s a new toaster We don't actually have a toaster!!
