I just got done with the first non bleary eyed run with this very musical box. I finnished it at 02:30. I was stymied with the height of the switch and trying to stuff it in 1590B but it's in there and works. The next one will have very short caps. I'll post pictures tonight. I've got to get another run around the pond on the skis before the snow melts. It's suposed to be in the 40's today
Peace. J.J.B.

I just unplugged the soldering iron after stuffing a Grapevine board and made one sub.
A 220pf instead of the 200pf C8 called for. I haven't even breadboarded the finished board so I have no idea what it sounds like yet, but wonder if this will have any impact on the circuit.
Peace. J.J.B.

Was looking at the Aristocrat as one of my next builds but there is no LED circuit on the board. What is one to do if one wanted LEDs? Peace. J.J.B.

Just got back from the local GC A/B'n my freshly minted Egodriver with the other box and while mine is about 10' darker on the tone knob I think it just about kills it!!!! I ain't going to show gut shots while it's still a OK job it just ain't good enough to show you all.  I put it together this morning and hit the shrink tubing with a heat gun and anything that had some thing tightened on it pinwheeled the paint and then I put it on the deck and fired it up and it sounds friggen glorious but the pots are all wired backwards $%&&^!!! God I was pissed.  I thought I was going to fling the thing. But went and got a coffee and came back and fixed it and it is another awesome box that I built with one of MB's boards!!! Also just finished my second Yelow Shark build too. Came out excelent also. My guitar tech just about mugged me for the first one that I built and had to replace it.  Peace and thank you Madbean for a very cool product. J.J.B.

Nice pair indeed!!! Boxed up my Neutrino Burst build last night. Finished @ 04:00 this morning. I liked it so much patched to my breadboard I had to stuff it in a box and finish it!!!  I didn't even bother with graphics. Yet. Had a Silver Fox boxed up for abought a week. I thought it kinda sucked. Thats what I get for thinking. The tone stack that's on the board really does work. Really. Tweaked and now more than happy I'm Freak'n happy. .  The long and the short is, awesome product!!!! This is my third different build and I'll be building a bunch more that's for dam sure!!!!  But hey here are the required gut shots and a pic of nicest and I really do mean the nicest pair you've seen in a long while Peace.

Silver Fox

Neutrino Burst  I'll be building the  Black spec one very soon

Oh ya the ding'a on the Silver Fox happened about twenty minutes after I boxed it#%!#%%!!

Brian,
Finnished my Honey Bee last week. F'n awesome!!!! I was definately impressed to say the least. Metal pedal it's not by a long shot. But what a nice singing OD. I'm using it as the last box in my front end chain and hitting it with a Fulltone Fulldrive and a Barber Dirty Bomb. I'm kinda pissed though. I've spent crap loads, a grand ++, on various dirt boxes and haven't been any more happy than I'm with this unit. To pay hundreds for something I built for $35 kills me!!! The only problem is that anyone that checks it out wants one. So there is order in your mail for another H.B. board, I can't imagine that it will be the last, and a couple of others. If the Siver Fox is the same league I can't wait to finnish it. I'm just waiting on a couple of caps. 56n, 27n, 20n were kind of tough to find in sizes that would fit but found 56n and 27n on Digikey last night and should be here none to soon. I think I'm going to use a 22n wima for the 20n.      
Peace and have fun in D.C..
