Boom! (Goes the Gainclone)

Building the Kookaburra was a lot of fun. I managed to not screw up the soldering job, and initial tests indicate that it's doing the right thing.

However, when trying to integrate it into my amp's case and pipe its output to my amplifier, sparks...


pyblosxom to WordPress conversion snags

Before I forget, I should list the snags I hit when moving my pyblosxom posts to WordPress. This post is mostly for posterity's sake, and any Googlers looking for help on the subject.
