Guitar pedals, other circuits and some synthetic biology on the side. Rio de Janeiro, BR.
TW: FLASHING LIGHTS. A guitar-activated decade counter that triggers a small light show. An LED/LDR combo regulates voltage to the counter chip (red LED in the back). Activating the lights on the counter is independent of generating "sound", just need signal from the pickups. #electronics #guitarfx

My Earl's Court delay pedal prototype, this build was a beast. It's a PT2399-based circuit that's based on a tank reverb with a spacey vibrato mod on a separate switch, all wrapped inside a couple of buffered amps. #guitarpedals

Gutshot of the Coisa Linda prototype build. This version is a square wave generator with an integrated delay circuit. The design is modular so the delay can be swapped out with almost any mod FX. Maybe it's time to finally get the PCB made. #electronics

Project from the end of last year, ripped out the guts of my guitar and replaced pickups + hardware. Added shielding since ground noise is terrible in Rio. It's a different story soldering inside a guitar than on a PCB. #guitarrepair

Been on a building break but back to work on a new distortion fx prototype. This is the only truly original circuit I've designed so far. I start a new job in 2 weeks so apparently I work best with a deadline. #fxpedals
