Title: Slow Loris
Post by: Jesse on October 11, 2017, 03:46:41 PM
My First Madbean build is done!  I built two of the Slow Loris rats.  It was a challenge getting everything in the 1590b but it all fits.  The 3mm led eyes look killer!  For the decal I used Photoshop and Avery clear shipping labels for inkjet printers.  My first try with the epoxy top failed as I used Bob Smith Industries 30 minute epoxy.  I didn't mix it right and had to scrap it all off.  I wanted to try Envirotex epoxy after that but had a hard time finding it locally so I went with Parks Super Glaze and I think it looks great.  It didn't work first try.  I traced it to the ic which I bought off of eBay from China (mistake!).  Got a good ic from Small Bear and it fired right up and sounds awesome!

Very nice!  Excellent black/white colors.  Makes the red LEDs pop.

Killer. I love Rats and my SL is absolutely a beast. Did you say you made a second one too?

They both look great. I am of the opinion that LED eyes makes the circuit sound better!

Would make for a fairly evil looking pedal board.  Very nicely done!
