Very cool, thank you.

Maybe I'll just give this one to the community to do with as they please!

Cool. I got a 1590B enclosure just looking for a circuit.

The true answer is that the original design from which all these came is the Jack Orman Mosfet Boost circa 2001.

In fact, if you Google  this text

Jack Orman Mosfet Boost

you will find a hidden portion of the mbp website!

Well of course I had to go check it out! Very cool bit of how the ol beanster got started.

I'm curious about how it sounds in person. I've seen the videos, but with the YouTube compression, I'm not sure how it really sounds. There's a nano available now. It's 122.00 which isn't terrible.

Small bear has some parts kits.

Is it safe to say you put the back cover on before you test it? I may or may not have made that mistake.

Yep, here's a great example.

Yessir, it's been done a number of times. I think it's really a cool idea. Seems like someone at pedalpcb had a cool set up.

Hi

I was going through the box of parts and came across an old Mad Bean PCB for the Smoothie MXR phase 45 clone.

Going through the archives I can only find 2015 layout for the Smoothie, and a more modern layout.

https://madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/StandardSeries/pdf/Smoothie.pdf

The layout that I have is the one shown in the link.

If you are able to assist me, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Regards

Mark

You may have to email Brian. I don't have it either. 2015 is the earliest I have.

I am guessing that somebody brought the business from them or something to that effect. I thought smallbear was going to be gone, but they got bought and have reopened (did they even close?)

Pedals have become a big business these days. Google says the market size was $3.6 billion in 2024, but in 2020 it was less than 1 billion, by some estimates only about 500 million. That is a huge amount of growth in the market. It may not have made sense for somebody to buy it a couple of years ago when they were closing up shop but with the pedal market probably doubling in that time maybe somebody decided the math was more in their favor. 

Can verify. I made $1B this year.

Dollars?

Huh, I thought they'd retired and rode off into the sunset...

Dunno yet. Maybe they aren't ready to give up, yet?
