Howdy friends -

This is my first Mad Bean build, and I gotta say I'm REALLY impressed with the pedal. Extremely quiet. It has the touch sensitivity of the OCD, but with a much flatter frequency response. This might be one of my new favorite drives.

Sorry, no gut shots... my wiring isn't what you would call clean... ;D

The outside sure is clean. I love the look of it. I built one of these recently as well and I really dig it. You can go from a very smooth medium gain sound to a heavy gain crunch. Super job. I would like to get a look at those guts though. 8)

Thats a great looking pedal you have there! Guts can always be improved and will be as you build more!

Nice clean build man!

I like the one or two acorn deal on the "rawk" switch :)

Thanks for the encouragement guys. The box was actually a powder coated enclosure from PPP. It's a 1290 size, not a 125, which was a little bit less space than I was used to having to work with (that and the fact that I used full size pots for a couple of them).

It's a wee bit tight ;)

Any of you guys running it at 18v? Have yet to try that...
