It is the whole book in its entirety. on. Kindle. An Amazon company. I did the guided view this time. I'm praying like hell that ya'll love it, and I thank you for even looking at it.

Pedals from Scratch

 

I’ve made a few pedals from scratch now and I was surprised to notice I’d never felt prouder of my work than when hearing my guitar going through a signal chain I made into an amp I made. Having a hand in every element that causes the sound has been really exciting. I started a couple years ago just trying to identify what was a resistor and what was a capacitor - to making pedal kits - to making boards from scratch - next maybe design my own circuit! But maybe not, there seems to be an endless supply of clever and interesting guitar effects

Recent Pedals

 

Some recent pedals: MXR Blue box - Arion MMP1 - Fuzzrite with BMP tone control - Phantom octave with DOD YJM 308 - Sonic Reducer Bitcrusher - Quantum Mystic. This has been a fun hobby and something I’ve always wanted to do, but I have to stop looking at the blogs where they post layouts because I want to make everything.

Radioactive Bikini Men From Mars!

 

I’ve had “Saturday Night Screamer” by Hollywood Burns stuck in my head since I first heard it and it inspired this. They released all their music for pay-what-you-will on bandcamp which I am very grateful for- so many French masters of new dark synthwave

New Headers

 

putting here so I can use them in the html... hopefully

Thought I’d change blog headers since I’ll be changing the link from comixology to kindle. I submitted Red to kindle and it has said ‘processing your file, this will take a few minutes’ for over a week now, but the last thing they said will take ‘3 to 5 days’ took a month and a half, so I guess everything is proceeding normally!

Red Heads

 

Completely forgot about this and just refound it. I didn’t know how I was going to handle the photoshop paintings in Red and the Wolfe so I was trying to figure things out, as well as get some weird Red faces out of my system. I knew working for so long on one thing my handiness would change, so I did a lot of prep work to try to keep it to a minimum. Did around a thousand* photoshop paintings before I started the photoshop work on Red, and there are somewhere around a thousand little photoshop paintings in Red. I never copied elements between panels, each panel is an individual photoshop painting.

Red and the Wolfe Guided View

 

Almost done doing the guided view. It is killing my hand, and the application grinds to a halt after a few pages so I have to keep closing and reopening it. One thing I don’t like about guided view is how the aspect ratio and text size constantly change as you go panel to panel. That’s something I may plan for in the future.
