Following up on this topic (https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=33926.0), I'm hosting the first mbp Zoom meeting. All members are welcome. I'm hoping to get 5-15 participants. If this is successful I plan on making this a monthly thing with different times to accommodate those in different time zones.
Date: Sunday Aug. 14th @ 7-9pm Central Time
Agenda: Format is open but the general idea is to just talk about what you you are working on, answer questions you might have about mbp or anything related to DIY, talk about the pedal industry in general and just get to know one another a bit better. I will host and maybe guide us through the discussion but that's about it. It should be a pretty organic conversation.
I've done many of these types of calls with Function F(x) (like hundreds) and believe me, it is always a good time. So, even if you are a bit shy (as a few people mentioned in the other thread) and don't want to participate much you are welcome as an observer. One promise I can make is that you will be glad you participated. I actually have a fair amount of social anxiety myself so take it from me, you'll enjoy it.
To sign up: just post in this thread that you plan to attend by Saturday afternoon (Aug. 13th). I will use your forum email to send the Zoom invite on Saturday night or Sunday morning. If you want to use a different email for the invite just PM it to me.
I'm really looking forward to it!
Such a cool idea, glad to hear about the other time slots for us far flung schmucks!

Cool. I think I may end up doing two a month if there's enough interest, with one session being for those outside the North America time zones. Luckily, I'm an early riser.
I’ll participate! Probably won’t be able to actively contribute
since I’ll be away, but I’d love to be a spectator
Hammer time!

Everyone got the memo that first session is opened with Guess The Intro on guitar or bass but with the wrong effects? Bonus points for fancy dress.
If I wasn't out of town that weekend I would be all over this. Next month for sure!
Put me down as a definitely maybe... I'll see if I can sort getting that time free. I think that's Monday 10am here, which is perfect except for that pesky thing called 'work' getting in the way.
Edit: ok, I'll sort something with work, make me a 'yes'
I'm in. This is what we have been waiting for. Really looking forward to see inspirational build from others and excited to learn more
If we would grow it to podcast then let's do it before 2022 ends!
Also, if we can record it, maybe we can post it on MBP YouTube or something. People who won't be able to join can play it back
I'll be there!
I'll check it out, but I'm not cam or mic equipped.
Has the zoom link already sent out?
Don't think it was sent out yet. I haven't gotten it at least
I just out the invite a few minutes ago to everyone who posted in this thread. Let me know if you did not get an invite.
Got the invite. Thanks, Bean
I won't be able to stay for the whole meeting, but I'm going to try and drop by for a few minutes.
I was following the other thread and didn't notice this one until this morning....
Hopefully the meeting was fun and we'll be doing more in the future. I'll keep a closer eye on things so I don't miss out on the next one!
It was fun! We actually went for a bout 2.5 hours. A few people stuck it out for the whole thing. The MVP was BricksnBeatles who managed to hang with us old fogies.

PS I've got a month of Zoom Pro paid for so I expect I'll do another one within the next 30 days. After that, we'll if interest is maintained to continue on.
Hahaha y'all are still young by my standards. With the concerts I go to, I'm used to hanging with the AARP crowd. You ever see the audience for a Brian Wilson or King Crimson show?
It was a good time! Hopefully I'm around to catch the next one too!

Was bummed I couldn't make the call but will hopefully make the next one. I just snagged the IK Multimedia Tonex box and software (pre-order) and thought it would be interesting to be able to capture some of the MB projects as digital models.
