Turkey Day SHOOTOUT Competition

[Jdansti]

So..... we have a contest? It's official?
That was like getting the cat in the box to go to the vet!
Good luck to all. Some great stuff to be won.  

So that's why he looks like that!

Gotta wait for Aron to chime in with a tally for the entrants

I've just entered. It's a great forum and I have been lurking for a little too long - Hello everybody.
I have an overly ambitious idea for a reverb pedal that will probably not be done in time, but deadlines can be a good thing...

Welcome aboard samhay

Welcome samhay!  Thanks for entering! 

[oldschoolanalog]

Welcome to the madness samhay. You are now going to become a diy addict. Go with it. Resistance is futile...
BTW, you have ~7 weeks to design, build and present your project. Still plenty of time for an ambitious build.
All the Best!
@John D: Yeah, I have that affect on most people.

Thanks for the welcome.
@oldschoolanalog: I have been building stompboxes, and the like, on-and-off for a while now. Not sure if it is an addiction or more of a chronic habit, but the results are near enough the same. Anyway, you're probably right, 7 weeks aught to be plenty of time.

[garcho]

This is like strip tease! I think I saw a little chrome...

Thanks to the judges and gifters!!

I'll be out of town for almost all of November, so I might have to bow out, but if I can get my shiz together quick enough, I'm sure I can finish in time to loose legitimately.

Thanks to the judges and gifters!!

This whole competition was meant to inspire the builders on this site AND to benefit the forum and Aron which I am personally grateful to. I am sure the other judges and gifters feel the same 

I'll be out of town for almost all of November, so I might have to bow out, but if I can get my shiz together quick enough, I'm sure I can finish in time to loose legitimately.

Remember, there is NO deadline for submissions. Now that we know the competition is a GO, you can submit ANY TIME YOU WANT. Just be sure to post the required submission HERE FIRST.
