Title: 1st Madbean build: Firebomb.
Post by: LaceSensor on July 31, 2011, 11:30:02 PM
Ive made a number of Vzex style pedals on vero, this was my first PCB. For the price Brian charges, its silly not to.

Here are the pics!

Very tidy!  I like your graphics... where did you get those pots?

Looks great! Very clean!
Didn't know that was your blog! I check it fairly often and enjoy it very much so. Especially your recent Lovepedal Clone!

Hi there! Thanks, yeah I am very proud of the Lovetone stuff.
Doing a Ring Stinger workalike soon (board 95% populated).

To the dude above - those pots ARE like the alphas 9mm but the body is deeper. Therefore, to board mount, the body would occlude (be infront of) where you need to solder some caps and stuff. They have quite long leads on them, so I just bent the leads. They solder in solidly and the pots themselves are very high quality, very smooth fast action.
