The ad agency I work for put together a documentary on the dreadnought for Martin.  It's not effects related, but I think most guitarists will find it interesting so I thought I'd share it here.  Check it out: https://vimeopro.com/user48581009/the-ballad-of-the-dreadnought

Here is my doubel ganger build on lacesensor's board.  Nothing fancy, no graphics and poor drilling, but it works and sounds awesome!  It was actually a pretty easy build.  Kudos to lacesensor for making it happen.   
The controls aren't too difficult to remember for now.  I should make some kind of labels eventually though.  I knew I'd screw up the drilling, but I made it work.

Hi all.  Question about the signal path for the abdx.  I'm getting dry output, but no delay and have nothing on pin 7 of IC2.  I tried two different ICs in IC2 with the same result.  I'm not sure the signal is getting to IC2.  Should I have a somthing on pin 6 of IC2 even if that IC isn't working?  I traced the signal to the left side of C4 and R7.  That seems to be where it stops.  Nothing on the right sides. 
Thanks!

Hi, I'd like to add a warp pot, similar to the one on the d'lay to a rebote 2.5.  I tried replacing the 15k resistor with a 10k resistor and a 5kb pot, but I'm not getting it to oscillate with that combo.  I'll try a 4.7k resistor and 10kb pot next.  Anyone know what would work for the warp pot?
Thanks!

Here is my first build on a madbean board.  It came together pretty nicely.  It's a civil war muff that my brother in-law wanted me to build for him and I have another board I intent to build for myself.  I added some diode clipping options.  The diodes are 1n914 and Ge 1n60 in D1 and D2.  In D3 and D4 are 1n914 and green 5mm LEDs.  There are a lot of nice sound combinations with these.  The transistors are 2n5088.  I tried BC149s too which also sounded good.  I might use those in mine.
The only issue I had with this build is that it didn't cut through the mix enough for me when I used it in band practice.  I know this is common with muffs, but I read the civil war cuts through a little better.  Is it the tone mod that will help it cut through better?  I definitely want to mod mine to cut through better.
Here are the pics and also my vero clipping board.
