I have already posted this in the OT/Lounge but I feel it is appropriate to post it here as well, to show my gratitude to everyone involved.
I would like to start off with congratulating all the other contestants, truly great builds all around!
And a big thanks to the judges for organizing this contest and for coming back with the results so quickly, I think the judges did a great job running this contest as smoothly as it did.
and thanks as well for the people who brought in the prizes. The lentil soup is impossible to beat, but all the prizes where great!, it was really hard to pick one.
And thanks to Aron for making this forum possible.
I just realized the prize I chose has the work of 3 forum-legends combined and it will probably never ever leave my pedal-board.
I'm really humbled by winning the 1st place in this contest, I would have never imagined getting to where I am now when I started building pedals 5 years ago.
Without this forum, FSB and Geofex I would have never gotten this far, or might not have even started building pedals at all. It has only been for the last 2 years or so, that I feel I found my own style and that I consider my builds solid tools that are unique enough to compete with all the other pedals out there. I have been working on this idea of starting my own pedal company for quite some time now, and winning this contest is a huge confidence boost to this process.
I haven't contributed much over the years, I still sometimes feel inadequate due to my lack of knowledge of electrical engineering, but as I learn more and more I will try to contribute more and help others the way they have helped me this far.
When I have triple-checked and have corrected possible mistakes in my project files I will make a topic to give back to the community.
Thanks all!!
Cheers, Kay/Liquitone
