I've been an electronics tech for 40 years now (wow how time flies). I learned most of what I know when I was in the Navy since my ADD made me dread having to learn anything that wasn't related to my core interests. For the past 30 years I have been working flight simulators and get to work on equipment that most people only dream of. A little over a decade ago I took up the hobby of building guitar pedals for local musicians to hone my soldering skills and get back into my love of all things audio. I would build the pedals for fun and usually just gave them away to support the local music scene...
