Noise clip!

May some enyoy it! lol

Hi everyone, sorry for the poor quality of the clip and playing......

I'm really not in my comfort zone when i do this kind of stuff, so please forgive me...

Demoing the Chimaera HP (Proto, Klone+CleanBoost) and The Third Nut germ booster.

Madbean's Smoothie

What a nice feeling to plug that thing and having it work on first shot!

I did'nt bought matched FET, only had 10 2N5457 on hand, put 2 of them in there, got signal but no «real» effect.

Kept one in place and swapped Q2 until i got some phase going, out of 8, 4 made a sound, 1 match did a really really nice sound, i then bias...... and...........SSSSSwwwwwooooooooossssshhhhhhhhhHH!

Freaking awesome, my first phaser, really happy! Can't wait to build FC Causality.....

This weekend I sold the previous Third Nut (guitarmaggedon vero layout) that i had built, so i needed another one...hehe

I also recycled an enclosure that i had previously mis-drilled the pot holes....

Added a cap switch to go from 33nf output cap to a summed 100nf accordingly to stock layout.

7715 or CV7355 germ, 151hfe, 0.10mA leakage, it's perfect!

This is my first real PNP fuzz built, no polarity inverter, no led, no DC jack, just balls!

Got this fantastic board from Marauder, thanks man, received it this morning...........i just could'nt box it! 

The pot will be changed for 24mm Bourns that i'm still waiting after....

Hope some of you will enjoy, because i do, i do alot! 

MadBean's Cosmo! 

Insanely cool circuit, really impressed by that pedal right now, there's just to many tones available....... 

I'm trying real hard at the moment to save the more space possible on my board...

So i combined 2 pedals that i use the most.

Chimaera have a diode lift switch and a 250K gain pot, for more available gain if needed.

Mini Mojo Clean Boost with flipper switch, could'nt live without that.... 

I went for a classy look, i may get that pedal etched...dunno yet..., and thinking of making this a production pedal, it's seriously awesome......

After too many hours of trying to figure out how to figure out, here's how i figured it..........

Another mini, i'm currently trying to find the compressor that suits my need the best, this is my second one, the first being Ross style comp.

I really like the transparence of the optical compressor.

Flatline on Vero!

Mini Mojo Clean Boost Mojo Mini Perf! :lol:









This one is going to the winner of the giveaway i did on my facebook page!

Overkilled Madbean Zombii

7715 Germs

Q2: 110hfe 0.06mA leak
Q3: 131hfe 0.03mA leak

Beef Up capacitor swap.

The Brootz!

A while ago i've been.............semi-challenged to build a 3 in 1 mini........here it is!

Genuine Bardel Pedals Stage 3 Booster PCB on wich you have to twist the legs of the FET to make it work...  , GRinger, GBOM Fuzz (OKF)



Think 3D or die.....haha!







Nom Nom Nom!!!  



Beautiful sun out here today!  







The sound, it was my first time doing a green ringer........i definitly hear it and i love it, was also my first OKF, really like how it excites the gringer and with the boost at the end as a master volume thing just get so sweet, really love this little pedal

Hi Y'all!

I got my Vjr in a trade couple months ago, what made me want to get that amp was the simplicity of modding it. It's now done..........well.........., there's still some stuff that i want to get done, but that's just to let the fun last.  

My evening picstory:

First of all, i needed to drill the chassis face plate to accomodate the added switch and knob.



I changed the response capacitors for NOS Russian PETP and the 100nf cap for a fish tank.....
Also change the 2 electros for some ELNA audio grade.



Once all the mods are installed.

From left to right you have:
Master Volume (Mod)
Gain Switch (Mod)
Bright Switch (Mod)
Negative Feedback Switch (Mod), that need to be wired to the 8ohms speaker outlet (the one i use the most)
Volume (Stock), now act as the preamp volume  
And input jack (Stock)

While i was at it i changed some 1M resistors with the Allen Bradley that Capt'N generously PIFed me Thanks Man!

I will later change the input jack and volume to they are directly wired to the pcb instead of using those quick connects



The components i removed!  



Completely assembled and ready to rock!



Now! The extreme make over!  

Trem-O-Chorus!

CJ's Shoot the Moon Tremolo and Frequency Central Little Angel Chorus 2 in 1!

Flipper switch included!

Horns up for another pita built!





The chorus have the enlightened pot to show the rate speed

MadBeans Bloviator!

Thanks to GuitarBen for the pcbs!

I built this «stereo» to be able to use it my guitar setup and in the studio aswell. Next phase of this project for wich i'm waiting some parts. Is a piggy back box that will convert the ins and outs HiZ to LoZ to use the unit with line level signal.

Among the 3 IC needed to complete one circuit, there's one TL071, i only had one so i subbed the other circuit with a TL081, it absolutely sound the same! haha! I will try more tomorrow at ear bleeding levels to see if there would be a difference......

That metalic red paint pisses me off, it makes 3 time that i use it and it always «purffle»lolol, I'll set the enclosure on fire later and clear coat it! Revenge Sweet Revenge! :twisted:

PITA Boxing Up Picstory! (Had a hard time fitting all that in there...)

Hi everyone, i did these 2 builts using enclosures i got in a part lot i recently bought, had those 2 swirls made by DragonFly in there.....

First is Josh's Rub-a-Dub reverb, i used a medium tank, the range is absolutely spot on for my need.

This is my first reverb, is there a way to mod this circuit in a way that i could, with the flip of a switch make this thing go into feedback?





Second one is another Dist Plus proto board by Culture Jam, the mini i built was going to Phreek on BYOC, really loved that circuit so i built one for my self with mojo in mind......

Going to replace the IC with a metal can one later 

These are'nt madbean builts.......but i tought i could share over here aswell.

I work in the Arctic as a Ironworker/Welder/Heavy machinery operator.

I got my job call thursday evening and i got a load of built to complete before i leave, for customers and distributor....

So here we go, stay tuned...they will be couple more to come!












Mojo Perf!

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.

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

Hi everyone, i'm pretty new on this forum but i always have a load of project going on, so i tought i could share some of them here.

Other than here, i'm only active (read, pro-active) on the BYOC message board.

I've been using lately in couple of my builts a «flipper switch», basically it gives you the opporturnity in a 2in1 built to choose the order of the effects in the chain.

The pcb would be mounted on a 4pdt solder lug toggle switch, with led CLR and all connection needed.

This wiring is easy to perform by «hard wiring» everything, but we all like to have our builts neat an clean.

It would be a pro-fab double sided pcb.

Here's an exemple of what can be achieve with this switching.

3 in 1 overdrive

Red: Klone
Blue: OCD
Green: TS9

In this built, there's a flipper switch for the OCD and TS9 to decide in wich order they go and a flipper switch for the Klone and OCD/TS9 combo, so it goes before or after that subgroup...

Hi everyone, second post here, coming from the BYOC forum......

I built this a while ago but it's my only madbean built (for now), got plenty of other etched boards coming in soon...

This uproar sounds a bit softer than what it should be, really love it that way, got the clipping switch and face melter mod.

You may find my english writting hard too read sometime, sorry about it, i'm a frenchie! Haha!
