Title: 1st Madbean board. Smoothie w/ vibe mod! *Video added
Post by: televisiondown on October 13, 2012, 11:05:20 PM
Really excited about this one! Slight problem fitting all the normal sized components on the baby board (yeah, I read all the instructions, but i'm gonna go with, "I'm still new at this ::)") Made it all worked out and I even added the vibe mod. Probably should have went with no battery and lowered the footswitch, but hey...it fit! I got it all boxed up and plugged it in...clean sound in bypass...step on pedal...clean sound when engaged. hmm... Like I said...I read all the instructions. I even read the problems people had with this pedal. Luckily, I quickly remembered the trimpot. Doh! It sounds amazing!! I'm not even a fan of phase shifting effects, but with the vibe engaged it sounds so good. I'm not sure, but it almost seems like it has a slight warble in phase mode. Maybe I'm just hearing things or maybe the trimpot is off, but I don't care. Thanks, Brian...your boards are the best.

That's a nice looking build.  The graphics suit the pedal.

Wow, great job. Was this first build ever or just first Madbean PCB build?
I have one of these to build, looking forward to it. Just ordered some matched ICs for it.

Thanks! I'm really liking the paint pen and stamps! I wasn't doing well with the waterslide.

Not my first build, just my first Madbean. I've built 1 BYOC and 2 GGG. Huge Madbean fan now!

It's probably in the build documentation but you need to lift the 'dry' mix resistor, if memory serves correctly there should be two 22k resistors joined, lift the one coming from the input, hope that's helpful, not got the time to dig up the schematic.

And nice looking build!
