Title: Mini Phreek +
Post by: GrindCustoms on May 28, 2012, 05:40:46 AM
This is not a Madbean circuit, but a proto board from Culture Jam, the Plus Dist.

It's meant to be an hybrid of the MXR Distortion+ and DOD 250, it sounds really nice. 8)

It was doing a while that i builted a mini, so i had to give some love to my electrical tape roll....

Looking good! Always a challenge, getting all that in a 1590A, good job! How'd you do that awesome finish?

Thanks, i call this finish «grindworn», i do it with my dremel and a «zipcut» blade, i get frenzy cutting in the enclosure and i then sand it with the sanding drum and do more cuts after. Some little rough sanding to get edges softer and i paint/bake it ;)

I wonder when Culturejam will have the board available to the general public? The Dist + and 250 are both circuits I like, so this is a cool idea. Nice job on the enclosure!

Thanks guys :)

We are 2 guys that posted these proto's on the byoc board and it generated a certain interest, if guys on here also want to get some....I don't know why he would'nt do groupbuy for this little cool circuit.

Heard that Forrest? :P

It is?  ;D


I lifted the parts values from the GGG schematic. So whatever version of the circuit JD used, that's what this is. As I recall. It's been a few months since I drew it.

Anyway, it's got board-mount pots as well.

Haha! well that's what DCountry13 told in his build post....., i had never built or tried this type of circuit.

Anyway it sounds like a «lean» 2 stroke engine and i fakin' love it! hehe!
