Title: Headache Fuzz (MB Retrograde)
Post by: pryde on December 29, 2012, 10:07:10 PM
Here is the madbean retrograde. Really cool fuzz. I am glad I built it. The upper octave is not real pronouced but comes through nice with neck pickup lead tones. The fuzz on its own is a nice gritty classic tone. Worth building if you are a fuzz junkie  ;D

I was able to get the 9v jack on top with a little careful measuring in a 1590B (don't like side mount DC jacks). I usually just use 125B's but had this box around.

I love that you kept the comic book flavor throughout -- all the text, etc. Really good decal work.

Nice to see a Retrograde pop up, too.
