Title: Madbean Quadrovibe
Post by: PhiloB on June 16, 2014, 01:56:47 PM
***Demo links below****
I went back and forth on the graphics, became frustrated and decided to do my first spray paint + hand painted enclosure.  I figured it couldn't look any crappier than what I'd come up with in PS.
Initially it wouldn't 'tremolo'.  Thanks to MidwayFair for setting me on the right path there (rate LED has to be connected for the lamp to pulse).
Pedal sounds great despite the fact that the labels weren't laid out properly;)
Great project for anyone looking for a Trem/Vibe pedal.
Anyone know why it's call 'Quadrovibe'?(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/16/ebu5ynuq.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/16/zejypu9u.jpg)

Looks very cool! Glad you like.

It's called "Quadrovibe" just because it sounded cool. There's no real 'quadro' about it.

Stay tuned for Quadrovibe 2 which is coming up soon.

Sounds cool.  Don't guess you'd give us a teaser on the Q2;)

@philo

Great build bro. PLEASE... PLEASE.... put some heatshrink on those bare-wire connections to the LEDs.

Every time I see that in a build, I wanna...

Will that be an Octavibe?  ;D

Philo, for some reason that's the baddest pedal I've seen in a long time! Can't put my finger on the exact reason but to me it just looks spectacular!

Great looking pedal. I too fell victim of the "damn LED needs to be on the circuit for it to work" also. The Cardinal and the Duovibe both got me. lol

Government Lackey - it just doesn't feel the same with heat shrink;)  though, it sure would be safer!
Muddy- thanks.  I struggle with perfectionism and there's nothing perfect about it;)

Well it's obviously greater than the sum of it's parts then, isn't it?  ;)

I love it, regardless...

Great looking! I really need to get at one of these, been highly recommended by many people.

I really don't know what is the problem with bare wires..... ::)

Just realized I never posted after checking out your build! I dig that big speed knob and the finishing style. Looks good inside too!
