Title: Greenbean and Retrograde
Post by: KMRO on June 09, 2019, 07:30:15 PM
Continuing my excessive quest for DIY fuzz and distortion pedals I finished the Greenbean and Retrograde this week.  Both are really fun pedals with a lot of flexibility.  I'm looking forward to the diode shootout for the Greenbean.  Currently sporting yellow 5mm LEDs.  Does that thread already exist?

And the Retrograde:

Still trying to figure out graphics for the retrograde.  I've got a great bat sticker from somewhere that would fit nicely, but I'm digging the hunter orange for the moment.

Nicely done. I used red  leds in mine for a while, I had to crank the volume to get any real break up, I didn't care for how nasty it sounded.

Sweetness!  I haven't built either of those two, but they look great well done :)

Hot pink enclosure don't need no graphics! They both look great.

Great work! I just finished a Green Bean myself, waiting to box it up. I'm all for a diode shootout thread. I'm getting some Bat41s and germanium diodes in to test out; have some N914s in the asymmetrical section right now.
