This is a great video from my aunt of her shielding her G&L S-500 usa pickguard. The shielding was bought from Stewart MacDonald and she also used a copper tape assortment of 1/2″ 1″ 2″.

Got a shipment from Tayda that was held up for some reason in California. I can finally get a handful of builds compleat. Going to be a long weekend, in a good way.

Found another music toy I was big into a few years back. This is a modded Gameboy with direct audio out and a pitch shift knob. I also added a backlit screen and a nice custom paint job. It’s funny looking at this stuff now and think of what a better job I could do now that I have some knowledge with pedal building.

I am definitely going to get this done with and play around with it. It’s been years since I have used LSDJ. I wonder if my old songs are still saved on the USB cart.

Did an etch for a buddy on the Madbean forums. Came out pretty good I must say.

I love the name that Madbean choose for this pedal. Makes me laugh every time I see the name. This is a Wampler Triple Wreck work alike. It’s a high gain pedal for that lovely metal sound.

It’s now etched, now it’s time to populate. To the cave!
