Title: Chunk Chunk and Lowrider
Post by: chuckbuick on June 29, 2014, 04:46:00 AM
Here's a couple Madbean builds I did a couple years ago but never posted here.

Chunk Chunk.  Pretty straight forward build.  The wiring could've been prettier but it is what it is.

Lowrider.  When I did the graphics I had it in my mind that the controls would have the Clean between DOCT1 and UOCT1 so when it came time to build I had to ditch a couple board mounted pots and wire them so I could swap them around in the box.  Did I learn my lesson about paying more attention to those kind of details?  Of course...not.

Nice builds, both of them. The combination of simple graphics with those knobs is killer. I think the wiring of the chunkchunk is pretty decent, fwiw.

Very nice!  I like the silver knobs on silver background.

Thanks bros.  These are 2 of my favorite builds, graphically.

Thanks Billy.  I still like to do thru-hole builds but I don't miss bending and clipping leads when I do SMD.  Component leads have become my least favorite part of electronics, besides troubleshooting :).

I'm right there with you mark.  I don't mind thru hole but for clipping leads...

Someday I'll tell y'all about a nasty lead clipping incident I had once
