Anyone into building their own gear? Pedals, sound generators, things to clang around? I'd love to one day have a case full of gear that is home-made, I find it very satisfying to solder up something new. As I said in the other gear thread, I'm not very experienced/clever with it yet, but it's a fun learning exercise.
Big pro synths are great, don't get me wrong, and I know a DIY synth is rarely if ever going to compete with something like say, an MS-20, but for me the fun of experimentation is not just fiddling with the end product but in putting it together from scratch, can be more cost effective too these days.
Recently in Mikko's photos there is a contact mic'd metal "cup" (I think?) which interests me, was this home-made?
