These are some of the first PCBs I have designed, fabricated and populated. They are so cute that I didn’t want to loose the opportunity to put them up to immortalise and remember those fun old times when I was spending my time drawing PCBs with a marker pen (some may know what I am talking about) or use caustic soda in my bedroom!

From 2006: Guitar effect pedals
CADs: OrCAD (Capture, PSpice), LTSpice, Kicad, FreeCAD

Here some pics of some of the first guitar effects that I have built for myself and heavily used for years (you can easily tell by the look of it!). The learnings, passion and other musicians’ encouragements that came out of these projects eventually pushed me to start TechnTone, with which I started to design and manufacture commercial guitar pedals.
