Hey guys,
This is my first build report, and the first pedal I've painted/illustrated/finished.
Although I've done quite a few Madbean builds, they are still in bare enclosures. (for now!)
What I have here is a Clarinot-type effect, but with a couple of changes:
It uses a Sea Urchin circuit for the delay, and a simplified Tremulus lune LFO (internal shape pot), with the Fuzz and Envelope as per the Clarinot.
I also added a "glitch"[voltage starve] pot for some gated tones and to dial back on the Envelope.
I'm quite happy with how it turned out!

Apologies for a lack of gut shot - had a friend use their camera and didn't think to open it up.
I used a modified Sea Urchin layout and did the rest on perfboard.
That is rad! I'd love to see and hear more! Gutshot?

Wow! Very cool.
very nice!
Sweet! Sounds like tons of fun. Looks really nice, too. So many LEDs!
Amazing build!
very cool. ya demo of it's "extra's" would be great. I've got my own clari waiting to be unleashed with a few goodies soon.
very nice!

That's a great looking build. The artwork and button/control layout work well together.
That's good stuff! Classy look and I dig the name!
Make us a demo! I'm super curious to hear what this thing can do.
Very nice!
That looks good, I like those graphics! I would also love to hear what it sounds like! :)
Very cool build dude 8)
Thanks for all the kind words :)
Here's the demo:

Skip to 1.20 if you don't want to hear the explanation.
great demo! Thanks
This is a really excellent demo. I wish more of them were as thorough!
Very cool, and great design.
I am contemplating a multi-pedal and am intrigued by your build.
Question- when making a pedal with added circuits (delay and LFO from your build for example), is the basic method simply adding them in series with a switch to control if they are in the path or not? I assume you would have to decide where in the internal chain they would be placed just as if the delay and LFO were their own pedals and you were deciding where to put them on a pedal board?
Thanks,

Usually a multi pedal has circuits in series. A delay, although in series, technically has a parallel clean and delayed signal. In this case, the Fuzz is in series before the Delay - those are the 2 "audio" circuits. From there, the Envelope and LFO drive the LDR from the delay. So the LFO would be part of the delay, not a "pedal" that would affect the audio directly. :)
Well done... its a chaos engine! Sounds and looks great :)
Thanks for the info. What is the LDR?

Light dependent resistor. It's connected (usually in parallel) with the Depth pot. So the LED from the Envelope or LFO adjust wiggle the resistance. It's the same as manually turning the Depth pot. All the modulated Delays I've seen use that technique - aside from the "Rick Holt Little Angel chorus" technique to wiggle the Vref. That's my next challenge :)
Apologies, meant to say LDR is connected to the DELAY pot.
Thanks. I understand- my basic idea is correct- overall serial design, with certain modules having additional pots/circuits interacting with them.
I have been looking into the "Clari(not)" project and have heard it mentioned there is/was a Madbean version ca 2009 but I cannot locate it. Anyone?
Thanks,
