Here's an update on what's coming up in the month of September!
Fabbed boards
I'm placing the order tomorrow for the next round of manufactured boards. These will include new projects and some that are out of stock. Here's what's coming by mid-Sept:
Dirtbag Delay - DMM
LowRider - Octaver
Slow Loris (new layout)
Pork Barrel (new layout)
Ego Driver (new layout)
Tube Screamer (I need a name for this one!)
Pepper Spray - Percolator
Mudbunny - these just went out of stock
Aquaboy (if I can afford it with everything else)
The Deadringer is going to be redesigned and re-stocked at a later time.
Sept. 10th - Mark your calendar
I'm formally ending the hand-made service for PCBs on 09.10. This is the culmination of the process I started a year ago to go to manufactured boards exclusively. It will also free up a lot of time for me to work on design, new projects and some website stuff.
There are about a dozen hand-made boards right now. Some of these will become manufactured boards eventually, and some will be eliminated. I will definitely be discontinuing the Cosmopolitan and Spackler on 09.10. I will start work on the Loophole ver.2 as soon as time allows (I have three new chips on the way to test out design ideas!)
Baby Boards
I submitted ten projects for prototyping yesterday for the new mini builds series. I tried to cover as many different types of fx as possible, and they include a booster, overdrive, a couple of distortions, a vibrato, a phaser, a delay, a compressor and chorus. There are 5 more designs I have not yet submitted.
You can expect some of these boards to go into the second round of manufactured boards to be released at the beginning of October!
Other Projects
I am really close to finishing off these projects: Dirtbag Jr (v3205), Stage Fright phaser, the reverb, Dipthonizer, Electric Mistress, Weener Wah and two other delay projects. Most of these only require another couple hours each of bench time to complete. Depending on what gets done when, some of these will be released with the Baby Boards. The rest will drop in November.
I will definitely have all of these projects done and released by the end of the year...most likely by November.
Tutorials
Jacob has submitted a really nice set of tutorials on project building that is fairly comprehensive. This, along with some other tutorials that were completed several months ago, will be making an appearance on the website really soon!
That's it for now 8)
Wow, some really exciting stuff going on. It really is crazy the amount of stuff you have going on! My vote goes for "Hot Head"
Most excellent! :o
My vote is "Rust Rocket" for the tube screamer.
Josh
fantastic!!! I can barely contain my excitement. I like "pipe dreamer" for the ts
My input for the Tube Screamer name is the Colossal Fossil
The cynic in me would suggest "yawn inducer" for the TS, but
masterlk's suggestion of "Colossal Fossil" is more amusing.
I'm always amazed at how much you do Madbean.
Top effort.
Can't wait for some of these projects (especially the Electric Mistress), and these baby boards are going to be super cool!!

call it YATS-ZI
...which clearly stands for Yet Another Tube Screamer--um Zamboni Invasion
This is the thread I've been waiting for. Geez 1 month to move the old stuff and get ready for all this new...
Are the baby circuit going to be classic's or original circuits?
For the TS howbaout Dali Drive or Dali Driver (think Salvador Dali's The Scream painting) or in tribute to SRV who is most known for using the TS, Double Trouble (although that kind of denotes a dual pedal) or Texas Flood (his first album 1983) or the most widely known song off that album - Pride and Joy or maybe the PJ drive

"The Scream" was painted by Norwegian Expressionist Edvard Munch (sorry).
So you could call it the Munch Inducer perhaps.

So how about a contraction of his name and painting? "the Scrunch"!
How about 'neutrino II - now with buffers'! ;D (sorry)
I'd suggest something from this (http://www.coastcomp.com/av/fltline2/nickname.htm) list. Lawn Dart maybe?
Esp. looking forward to the delays and baby boards myself!

Ha! That list is glorious...some of those nicknames are real funny too...
I like Boneshaker! It kinda goes well for the Tube Screamer, it makes people shake their bones while listening to some soulful blues or even some good ol' rock tones :P
Brian, you're amazing...Really appreciate all your work. To be honest, I'm way more excited about the new original projects :) I'm really trying to work on original stuff myself

I think I will do up a fabbed version of the Deadpool. It's unique and is a nice fuzz. I don't know WHEN exactly that would happen, but I see no reason to discontinue it. I'm discontinuing the Cosmo because it's a Skreddy clone and the Spackler because I'm replacing it with a full frequency boost I designed (and runs off 36v!).

As soon as I read that I heard the Tim Allen 'more power' grunt echoing in my brain. We gonna need a bandolier of backup 12ax7s when we can't resist turning it up to 11?

Awesome, thanks for the info.
Excellent, I have been holding off on buying a mudbunny board whilst waiting for more of the slow loris.
What is different about the new pork barrel? I am planning a build but if the new PCB fits better with my desired case layout I might hold off.
Can't wait for the reverb!
The new Pork Barrel will be the same CE-2 circuit, without the mods. It's been fitted for a 1590B and PCB mounted pots. Plus it is a much BETTER layout.

Have you started tailoring your layouts just to me? I've been after a PCB mounted 1590B CE-2 for agesss.
Nice one!
Thanks! It looks like it will also include the option of using either the MN3007 or v3207 via a couple of jumpers.

how about the diode reamer ?
Good news, the Mistress project ("Current Lover") is verified. Sounds really slick :)
I made some adjustments to the layout so that the DPDT switch is now board mounted. This one is a go!

Awesome, I intend on building most of those. I really like the way you are using the board mounted pots on those layouts.

Can I make one
tiny request for that layout if you haven't finished with it already... could you add pads for send & return if they'll fit so it can be used to make a Through Zero Flanger? Obviously that will require a track cut but it'd be nice to have the option there.
Otherwise, awesome layout! Does that fit a 1590B!?
How'd you get on with the DMM now you switched the Vdd & Gnd? All working okay? And did you see my comment on the Low Rider upper octave?
Hey Scruff,
Yes, I will add a S/R on the Mistress. I had it on the original layout but forgot for this redesigned one. Thanks!
It is fitted for a 125B, although it may be possible to fit in a 1550B, which is slightly wider than the 1590 (and my new favorite enclosure). I won't have a chance to test an v3207 in this one, so that mod will be "unverified", but I think I've got it correct (same deal as switching the v3205 and MN3005, right)?
The DMM is going to be prototyped again before having it fabbed. There are too many changes now (merging the projects, BBD switching) and I will need to build the exact version I am releasing. A bit further delay, but it's worth getting right the first time. I will email you some details ASAP actually since I was hoping for your feedback. The good news is that if everything works out I will be able to get more made (since I'm merging the two different versions) and offer up the PCBs cheaper than I thought!
I did see your notes on the Octaver and they make perfect sense. I'm going to pull those caps and check it out.
Unfortunately, I pulled a muscle in my shoulder last night so I'm not able to do jack right now :(. I friggin' hate that!

Awesome! I thought a 1590B was wishful thinking, i'll check out that 1550B though... hard to get non-standard enclosures in the U.K. though, no one even stocks 125Bs! I'll have to order abroad.
You are correct on the 3205/3005 switching, Vdd & Gnd switch, as long as you remember the resistor on the outputs of the BBD (47k in this case) has to go to Gnd now instead of Voltage, whatever Pin 1 is connected to, the resistor on the output always has to follow suit, that's all that should be necessary.

Yes that seems pretty sensible, don't want a bunch of duff boards.
Well I can't complain at cheaper PCBs! I'm sure the wait will be worth it, does kinda make more sense to have both boards joined together... I wonder how many people out there actually have a spare set of 3005s.
No rush on the details! I'll try my best to give you some helpful feedback though.

Let me know how that goes, I know it was two caps that are pulled but the picture Z.Vex Posted apparently (it's been pulled now) showed the circuit board so hopefully the silk screen matches the schematic.
Damn, I hate that too! I just pulled my back and now can't sit and breadboard either :(

Got it. So, for example, on the CE-2 there is a 56k resistor off of pin7 which is connected to the VD supply for the MN3007 (where VD is 9v plus a small series resistor). For the v3207/MN3207 it needs to be switched to ground, as is the supply pin.

Yup! You can see it in practice on the CE-3 schematic http://synthdiy.com/files/2007/bossce-3.jpg
That applies to the whole Panasonic BBD range so you'll need to do this for the Electric Mistress, Dirtbag delay & CE-2.
The outputs are source terminals, so you have to hook them up like a source-follower.
I'm not sure about changes to the 3101/3102 though... never really used one, I assume you just do what you did in the Aquaboy for that bit.
If you can fit it on, I do suggest an 8V2 Zener set up as a shunt to supply 3205/7s with voltage as well, kind of a nice fail safe and keeps the BBD at a happy operating voltage.
Other than that though you're all set, Switched Power & Switched Resistor, should work on anything, 4047 & 4013 clocks don't care about the BBD they're driving, only the 3101/2 needs any kind of changing.
Dammit Brian! I need to get back to my amp builds ! You've gotten me too good at small solder points and putting these together, I'm losing my amp building skills ! Cut it out !!!
Er, no, don't . . .
dang, the loris looks to have board mounted ruetz and clipping switch. that's real hot.
the pork barrel layout looks great as well, even if I add most of the mods from the old project it still seems an easier build than the old layout.
glad I waited a bit on these!
Thanks, lloyd17. I really like bringing some of the older projects up to date with better designs. Even though it is a bit costly to start new production runs on EgoDriver and Pork Barrel I think it's worth an extra expense. Scruffie has helped pushed me in the direction of board mounting things like pots and switches, and I gotta agree this is a much better approach. Reducing wiring to just in, out, ground and 9v makes life easier and a better building experience for everyone.

Haha, well I do hope I didn't just pester you in to adding on board pots to your layouts!
I do really appreciate your new layouts though, I was about to get out of building but the projects you're about to bring out... they've pretty much been dream builds of mine and i'm not kidding there, A 3205 DMM, 3207 CE-2 & Pearl OC-7 with on board pots have all been on my lists for over a year but I didn't think i'd see them.
I swapped to loving on board pots after my... third or 4th build... a Dr Boogey on vero no less, 18 wires just for the pots and keeping the right ones away from each other and making sure it wasn't a mess ::) sooo much easier on board, I actually began to dread off board and as someone that likes a neat internal build...
Anyway, I could go on and sing the praises of on board pots but i'll just thank you for the new layout style ;) I hope it's serving you well as well!
With all this talk of board-mounted pots, what tips or tricks are there to getting the drilling spot on?
Quote from: jubal81 on September 02, 2011, 06:54:57 PM
With all this talk of board-mounted pots, what tips or tricks are there to getting the drilling spot on?
just a thought: populate the board, including the board mounted pots, color in the ends of the pots with pencil, press the attacked pots down onto a plain sheet of paper leaving circles on the paper. use a center punch to transfer the paper template to the enclosure. OR use the template that madbean provides on the PDF.
this was a good start for me. BUY A CENTER PUNCH. seriously the best 2.50 ive ever spent.
I use pretty much the above technique to lay out my drilling patterns for board mounted pots. With the pots installed I flip the board shaft side down onto some graph paper taking care to choose one pot as the 'index' and line it up over an intersection on the paper. This let's you dead reckon equal distances to your other controls. Then make some careful marks around the shafts a bit. Pull up the board and using the graph paper figure out and mark where the holes 'should' be since pot lugs are always wonky. When you're satisfied with your knob position just tape the template to the face [minding your centerlines is key here] then centerpunch and drill away.
Fully agree with the centerpunch comment melonhead. All the layout care in the world goes straight down the tubes when your bit decides to skate.
I don't know what the actual layouts that Brian is going to produce are going to look like, but the layouts in this thread have center points that you can use your punch on.
Anything that has board mounted pots will include a precise drilling file in the project documentation.
sweet that is what i was hoping for .
I go at it a bit differently.
Usually you can find out how far apart the centre lugs are from each other. Say for example that two pots side by side are 0.8" apart (like in a lot of my layouts). The holes for the pots willbe drilled 0.8" side by side. I use a vector graphics program to create my graphic layouts, and I prin out a version that includes markings for using a centre punch to mark out my pots, switch and led.

Thats good. I've never used any of the drilling templates, but i'll probably have to with the board mounted stuff. When i did the fuzz factory with 9mm pots, i just kinda eyeballed everything and it was a pain. i kept having to bore out holes to make everything fit.

That's exactly what I do.

In the case of the Fuzz Factory, another thing you can do is take the actual board, lay it out on top of the enclosure, then use a pencil and colour in the middle hole for each pot (lug 2). If you are careful, use some painters tape and also mark a line on it before hand for both the centre of the enclosure, and the line you want the pots to line up on a perpendicular to the centre of the enclosure. Line up the middle lug'sd middle hole and BAM. You've got yourself a smoothly awesome very easy to drill set of holes.

Thats a good tip there.
Drilling enclosures is my least favourite part of building pedals.
I even bought a drill press (£50 !!!) and still find it a bind.
Any update on when the new Pork Barrel boards will be up for sale?? My Small Bear order is on the way and I am jonsin!! ;D
The order has been placed and it will be here in less than two weeks, I think.
What about the Egodriver?
EgoDriver, Pork Barrel, Low Rider, Green Bean, Pepper Spray, Mudbunny and the Slow Loris will all drop on the same day.
How long until the dirtbag delay is ready?
Cheers
Edit: Found some info- October =)

Hi guys, it will be tomorrow. Sorry, but the wife is out of town and I am taking care of our daughter. I won't have time to get all the documentation together and get the website updated until tomorrow when she is in school. ::)
Bottoms up
finger on the trigger
;D
I'll be updating/adding project documents as the day goes on, so don't bother downloading those until this evening.
Pork Barrel and EgoDriver docs are up. Those were the two most involved ones. I will have the others up ASAP.
Brian, you're the man! I'm patiently waiting for the Stage Fright and Dirtbag Jr to show up next month or so...
Is there a pdf for the Lowrider yet?
All up except for the Slow Loris, which I'm finishing up now. http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/LowRider/docs/LowRider.pdf

Aww, I got an honorable mention in the PDF, you didn't have to do that Brian :)
Glad you managed to alter the mod though and prevent the upper octave from being fuzzy, i'll definitley try that when I build mine up!
Once again, sweet layouts on these new boards.
You actually got two mentions. Another one in the new Pork Barrel doc. And, I am indebted to you!

:) My Pleasure helping and thanks for the second mention!
By the way... two small things I noticed on the Low Rider PDF, First, You've written 'The Pearl Octaver is offers'
Second, why is the polarity protection diode a 1N4148, that's just gunna burn up with a reversed supply, I see it's the same on the Gaussmarkov schematic too but i'd change it to a 1N400X series.
Edit: Also, seeing as you've suggested 2N5457 for the J-FETs, may as well suggest making the J201 a 2N5457 too as it's just an input buffer, might save some people an extra order.
Okay i'll stop criticizing your awesome work now, didn't mean to really but just some thoughts that crossed as I read it ;D
Thanks for the quick action on the pdf madbean.
The Green Bean looks awesome! Can't wait for the new projects to come out, thanks Brian!
Slow Loris docs are up... Thanks Brian cannot wait to get my boards and build this new version.
Would it be possible to get an IC parts list for the Current Lover and Dirtbag? I'm about to place a couple component orders and figured I'd add the IC's I'll be needing to the list. No biggie if you'd rather wait till they are released. Thanks Brian!

Preliminary BOMs for the upcoming projects or just a heads up about hard to get hold of parts would be ideal. Or even just a post of the schematic with values on.
I've checked out the Dipthoniser and Dirtbag schematics posted over at FSB, they've been really helpful planning part orders. There's a few odd values on the Dirtbag (like a 24k3 resistor and a 240p cap) that are only found at a few stores. It's always a PITA when you've missed one or two values to finish a project and have to wait for your next big order to make it economical.
Any news on the Current Lover and Dirtbag Deluxe ? Getting ready to order a Pork Barrel and want to get all three. Also holding on for that Mouser order also...
