Doing the stuff and the things

admin
Pretty excited about my first manufactured PCB. It's going in a pedal called the Plucky Sidekick. I hope to make a Super Hero Series and this ended up being the first of that line. It's extremely compact to fit in the tiny enclosure. I wanted to give the option of…

Odds and ends

I've been keeping myself busy with various projects. I built my own tube amplifier at about 2 watts. I ended up building a kind of Leslie baffle to go with it and that was interesting. Most recently I've been playing around with Arduino and learning c++. Who knows? Maybe I'll…
