2/3 of the scores are in.

[jkokura]

reading those scores like 9.5, 8.9, and 9.6...

Looking forward to the results. Not just because I want to place, but because I think there are some amazing builds in this list and they deserve to be recognized for the feats they are.

There is a problem with the voting machine:

oh no, not the hanging chad!!!

[Jdansti]

oh no, not the hanging chad!!!

I think we're safe since Broward County isn't involved.  

Edit: ...and I'd prefer to not have to hang any Chads.

thanks so much valhagen!!

dude... it is WAY WAY better sounding than in the video... that's thru a dano hodad. i just had a friend come over, and we played it thru my princeton. it is SICK. octave up AND down. simultaneously. that simple percolator control doodad makes it nite and day.

sadly, i no longer have the juergulator. my friend loved it so much he traded me a mid 70's epiphone coronet FOR JUST THE JUERGULATOR!!!!!



so i guess it's better than i thought.... now i have to build another one.

i also traded off my spare echoplex ep3 for a beautifully tigerstriped original (gibson made)epi  les paul standard..... and a few other toys (colorsound overdriver and a rotovibe i got broken for cheap) netted me a cheap ass yamaha i've been in love with for years... one of my old guitars from 1991 came home today, after making the circuit thru new england for 20 some years.

you kind words put the icing on the cake, this is a great day for me, and i thank you.... and everyone for putting up with my uneducated surly @$$!!!



indeed, build a juergulator. it is the best harmonic perc i've played yet, and i've built every version posted on the net. THIS is the one.
(i know that sounds arrogant, and i'm sorry... but damn, dudes, you gotta try it!!)

Thanks Bengt! I painted the pcb with high heat yellow engine paint. I hope I need it in the future or it cost me $18 just to make one board yellow
