Sorry I haven't been around much guys! I have been busy building a couple of stompboxes. Now I am addicted to it. Here is what has been capitalizing on most of my free time for the past couple of weeks.

Boost. The artwork was done by my friend's 18 year old son.

They were a blast to build. Made from kits. I already have my next project picked out! :)

Thanks guys!

Yep, BYOC kits. Nik it would be cheaper for you to do it yourself! :) They ship to the UK. And they added a British Blues Overdrive kit recently.

The support forum there is incredible too!

Awesome looking pedals, hope they work as nice as they look.

One thing that does irk me however. Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes (the pictures on the fuzzy kitty) has historically been almost rabid in his anti-merchandising stance. He has never authorized the likenesses of Calvin and Hobbes to be used - at all - in any commercial venture.

So anytime you see them (like decals on car windows) they are a direct theft of intellectual property.

I believe he stated that his son did the artwork. In that case there was no commercial enterprise involved in the application of the image. No theft of intellectual property. Just putting an neat picture on it.

Very nicely done bmc. Another way to enjoy music, the creation of gear for making it. :mrgreen:

I can understand that. But this is just for my own personal use. No marketing involved, no money trading hands.

Also, my friend's son did the artwork on the Banshee, not the Fuzzy Kitty. Next time, I will put Bill Watterson's name under the artwork! :)

And they do sound very very nice!

Thanks to all of you for your feedback. I appreciate it!
