Who needs to pay actual money for a real board when you can just make a worse one yourself?!
After years of being laughed at for caring a tote full of loose pedals to gigs, I finally decided to just make one using a Ouija board, some heavy duty velcro and lots of electrical tape. Now I can be laughed at for this instead!

I recently plugged in this Mythical Overdrive, one of my favorite pedals, and heard nothing but a sharp hiss. These Mythical Overdrives are all made by hand and built by their creator, he currently doesn’t offer a repair service. From what I understand these Klon style circuits are pretty simple but I opened the pedal and found an impressive array of transistors, resistors, and parts I can’t begin to understand. I want to become competent enough to repair these kinds of circuits that I rely on so heavily so I’m beginning a soldering and pedal repair journey. Beyond music, I think it’s important to understand the tools you use well enough to repair them. I’ll document it here, cheers PI.

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
