Title: My First Madbean Project
Post by: jcuempire on February 17, 2011, 01:55:57 PM
Here is my my first madbean (3rd overall) project.  It's a Slambox.  I can't believe how good it sounds.  At low levels, it takes my Blues Jr's natural boxiness away and it's beautiful.  It's crazy loud though.  I don't think I can crank it to the top without damaging my little amp.  But at 12 o'clock, it produces a nice chunky snarl with my old P90's that I love.   It also sports the groovy rainbow LED that was given to me by forum member eniacmike.  Thanks for creating this project.

Awesome!  Love the graphic too!

Fine.  You've guilt-ed me into it.  I don't like showing pictures of the insides for the same reason I wouldn't show pictures of me samba dancing in my underwear - it's unsavory.  Anyway, suffice to say that it works while not so pretty as alot of the other builds I have seen pictured here.  You may not want to look directly at it for any length of time.

Trust me, that's still a great build.  OCD wiring benefits no-one in terms of sound.  Your soldering looks clean, you heatshrunk the led connections; all good.

Well, thank you very much.  I have a half finished Rump Roast on my desk and a T-Bagger on the way.
