Title: GreenBean, SlowLoris and RoadRage available!
Post by: madbean on March 09, 2014, 01:46:45 AM
2014 versions of these three are available in the store. The documentation has been uploaded for each as well. The Slow Loris doc has some circuit analysis in it too, since that was a general request a while back.

Awesome!, Really enjoyed the circuit analysis of the Slow Loris!

Thanks,

Are the docs from the previous versions moved to the discontinued forum? I got the previous green bean I still need to build.

Thanks,

me too, I like this bit: "One can almost imagine ripping fat riffs while playing "Round and Round" at your local bar gig, flipping your long mane of hair while the ladies swoon over your tiger striped spandex. Well, maybe that's just me.

Sadly, it isn' just you :P

mmmm.... I have to try that new Slow Loris.

By the way, if any of you want further analysis of classical circuits this page may be what you need:

Here you have for the rat and ts-808:

I may be an Audio Engineering class dropout, but isn't the AC/DC reference in the Slow Loris C1 note reversed?

Nope, that's exactly what the coupling does. Removes the AC component and leaves us with DC, which is what our circuit operates on.

I thought caps passed AC and blocked DC. I'm obviously missing something. Back to the books...

Post by: madbean on March 10, 2014, 02:45:40 AM
I'm describing it the wrong way. It blocks DC and passes AC. IOW, it keeps the DC in the circuit to prevent it from leaking out into our guitar/amp, etc. I was thinking about it the right way (buttoning up the DC) but I was wrong saying it stops AC.

I'll fix that up in the doc so it's more clear.

DANG!!!

Was really hoping to see the 3PDT mounted Road Rage  :'(

Why did you decide to take out the bright switch on the Green Bean?

It allowed for a better layout with the two remaining switches top mounted. Plus, it was just a much less effective mod than the other two, IMO. Better to stick with the most bang for your bucks.

Awesome news! Might have to grab a slow loris before they're gone

They won't be gone for quite a while. I've got enough for 5-6 months. This is going to be the new thing here at MBP. LOTS of stock.

Even better news, I'm up to my ears in boards. Time to build like a "madbean"!
