I can't do any more like these as Madbean has stopped making the PCB for it and Pete has just snagged the last one, sorry guys. I really like it. it's one of the few pedals that lives up to the hype (though not at the price the real ones change hands for, that's just madness!).



Right, I'm off to get this one built!

Got a couple of darkside boards left (G2) if anyone fancies one of them...

Love the Klon clone - wonderful pedal (I have 2).
What diodes are you using in the G2 ?

PCB looks BUSY. I guess it would be to fit in that little enclosure. I have no idea what the orginal looks like. Did you make those PCB's? or did you buy that one.

That was a madbean pcb like juansolo mentioned earlier - but it's not too hard to build on strip board - just much larger and wouldnt fit in a small enclosure. The website to check out for lots more info is www.freestompboxes.org. Ther's loads of info on different builds and theory of the klon...

Madbean also has every PCB they sell available as an image used for etching. I like that philosophy. Here's a PCB, buy it from him or make it yourself.

And that's a nice looking pedal!

1n60 from AMS in the States. The ones we sourced in the UK were a much lower forward voltage and the pedal ended up with far less gain. Phil King kindly picks them up for us :)

Madbean's Cornish G2 clone. Ours is slightly tweaked for more vol and gain. But if you back it right off it's still does the G2 thing. As for what it does/is for; it thickens up strats/teles and adds sustain (it's essentially a muff deep down, as are many things). Never got on with it originally until we played with it a bit. Actually love it now.
