Title: "Lord Parkour" Fat Pantses
Post by: Guitarmageddon on November 28, 2012, 01:14:58 PM
Here's a Madbean Fat Pants v2, an awesome sounding boost .
I built it for a friend, who is gifting it to his friend "Lord Parkour", hence the portrait. A bit of a tricky etch as the pic he suplied me was pretty murky and lacking in contrast, but it came out ok.
At least I got the guts quite neat.
As I've mentioned, it's a terrific sounding pedal, and like all Madbean projects, beautifully documented,  I highly recommend this one.

Also, if you've built the first version, it's not too hard to retrofit the buffer section from the second version, and well worth the trouble. Here's my v1, moded to v2 specs.

The guts with the vero buffer tucked in at the top:

I used the extra 17v out to power the satelite board.

If you want to go all the way, change the resistors and pot at the output and the conversion is complete. ;D

I love the way the wiring on the first pedal looks kind of like a handlebar moustache! Fitting for the theme on the front and just in time for movember still! ;-)

Those are great looking builds. Etchings are really sweet man.
