Title: first times
Post by: nacho on December 19, 2011, 10:11:52 AM
Hola! I am nacho, first post.
This is my first madbean pedal, a Faultline for my brother's birthday (he plays bass on my band). It was a tight fit. This is also my first ecthing (but second try): i had to have the enclosure 4 hours(!!?) in the ferric chloride. But i am very happy with the result (and sound).

Thanks!
I used the Slade's tutorial (found it on diystompboxes forum). But my etchant must be less strong and i had to let it work for much more time.

Great looking pedal.  I love this pedal on bass and thats saying alot, cause i usually dont like bass effects.  (pretty much this and the wooly mammoth are the only ones i dig)

Wow... You guys and your talent, I'm kind of jealous.  I'm lucky if I can spray paint an an enclosure a solid color nicely.
