Title: Cold Steel Cosmopoliton
Post by: lego4040 on February 05, 2012, 05:47:08 PM
I have to start posting builds from boards Ive etched of Madbeans designs. I just finished the Cosmopolitan up yesterday and it fired right up. What s sweet pedal, three stages of necessity in a box, I get my jfet boost, my bc109 silicon fuzz and last but most Importantly is the AC127.(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j72/legomaniac4040/6b49a479.jpg)(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j72/legomaniac4040/0a948fe0.jpg)(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j72/legomaniac4040/85b4c4af.jpg)
I had primed it for paint and then screwed up, so I left inside but stripped it back down and lacquered it. I haven't chosen knobs but might go with small greenish ones. This is my fourth build of Madbeans and I'm going to do the mxr 117 as soon as its available. I socketed the BC 109(224 HFE) in case I wanted to up the gain, I have a BC109 w 344 HFE and another with 434. If anyone has tried it let me know, if anyone wants to know how it might sound with it let me know, Ill try it out.

That looks awesome!  I love scavenged/re-purposed enclosures.  Next time they change out a conveyor motor at work, I'm gonna grab that cover!

Great recycling idea for the enclosure... you need to build a Chunk Chunk in one o'those bad boys... for a very heavy metal pedal! ;)

That's a really tasty enclosure. Is this also a car part?
