New Madbean builds

[tomjackson]

I've just finished these 2, a Fatpants on the left (Xotic EP-1 clone) and a Krankosaurus on the left (BoR) clone.

thanks to Marauder and Juansolo for putting me on to Madbean :D :D

I've got a BB Preamp clone that should be done by the end of the week then in a few months I'll probably try the Zendrave and Klon (need to concentrate on playing for a while first!!)

I'll post some clips later in the week....

Nice one.

A few months?  Make that a couple of weeks!

[Transcend]

very nice.

Did the enclosures come finished or did you do it yourself?

[tomjackson]

I finished the cases with some left over paint from installing mobile phone masts.  The Bor has a silver Hammerite speckle over telegraphpole  brown.   I'll print some decals next time but just needed it finished!

Cool. The white one looks real professional. I have a layout ready to be transformed into a PCB for an Xotic EP boost, been putting it off for no real reason even though the transparencies are printed already. How are you liking that?

[tomjackson]

I like it.  It has a bit of colour and grit to it but with the 2 controls you can change the tone quite a bit.  Vol adds brightness and volume and the Fat control thickens things up.  I've used it at one gig and pretty much kept it on all the time.

[JacksonRR]

Sweet. The Madbean layout is small enough to fit in a control cavity as well as a voltage doubler on the PCB. Any noise issues or flub in the low end?

[tomjackson]

The PCB would definitely fit in a control cavity, it's really small.  No flub as far as I can tell, it's just more of what you have with a bit more sparkle.  No noise, it's really clean.

If you go on the madbean projects page it has the dims of the board....
