Title: Madbean Smoothie w/vibe mod
Post by: Ben on April 29, 2015, 07:30:38 AM
The "vibe" mode is pretty subtle, but sounds fantastic. I think it just replaced my Small Stone. The smoothie is a much more subtle effect.

LED not connected yet. I think I will do the rate mod, orange LED in the mail.

Overall an excellent pedal. I am currently finishing a second one with a mix knob (not that it really needs it), may try painting/decals/etching..

Looks like a really clean build. Great job in such a tiny enclosure. Try doing the enclosure as well. You may be surprised to find that's pretty enjoyable and satisfying as well. Great first post.  Keep em coming.

Steve.

Thanks a lot Steve. I'd actually really like to finish them like nano EHX pedals. I'll have to do some research.

I've almost finish a Harbinger One and I'm eyeing that Laserwolf too. Quite addicting this.

This is really neat!
I am always impressed with 1590A builds, this is so small !

Great first post and cool build! Enclosure finishing for me can be really satisfying and yet is something I dread. I've been doing waterslide decals and usually I'll build 4 or 5 pedals plain and do the graphics, printing, adhering, and clear coating at the same time as I've just done, build reports soon coming.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I think I'll purchase some enclosures from Tayda and try out a few methods to see what I like.
Not having access to a laser printer at home makes things a little difficult.

I decided not to do the rate mod after seeing some videos on YouTube. The flashing LED looked a bit distracting.

Here it is next to it's brother with the mix mod. I'll probably install a 3mm LED on this one.
