We are one year old as of 3.18! Thanks to everyone here for your continued enthusiasm and participation. And, you patience! I can only imagine what MBP will be like in its 10th anniversary.
By the way...notice anything different on this page (http://www.smallbearelec.com/home.html)?
Well then, a big belated
Happy Birthday Madbean
and many more happy and healthy ones.
the SB banner is way cool.
woot, my birthday's later this week
congrats on making the Smallbear banner
I barely knew what a resistor was when I stumbled across this place and joined on Mar 29. I had no idea the place was so new!
Anyway, thanks for sticking with me so I could learn the ropes a bit.
Congrats on one year, bean!
Brian you have done an outstanding job with this site! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. I am sure 2011 will be even better.
Congrats on the SB banner, that is so cool! I always wondered why this site wasn't on there. Happy Birthday Madbean Pedals!
Thats amazing! You've really done a truly great job, offering awesome projects, lots of modifications for them and valuble information new and old pedal builders can use.
I remember seeing gruntbox builds on the BYOC forum and searching like crazy for madbean related products. How happy i was when i stumbled across this site. Now I'm can't get outta this place ;D
Keep up the great work Bean
Congratulations on both counts!
The Smallbear banner really establishes you as a member of the DIY Foundation Club. Without that club here are a lot of of that would never try something like this.
Now if I could only stop impulse buying of your darn boards! ;)
Congrats for all work done here! This is in this place I learned all I know on stompboxes.
Your pcbs and pdfs are awesome ;)
Everyone here is friendly and pleased to help, it's really a pleasure to post on this forum ;D
Congrats!! Looking forward to another year!

+1 It's what keeps me buying madbean boards!
I had no idea you'd only been in business for a year! I bought my first boards almost a year ago. I've learned a ton from building your pedals, Brian, and I've got plenty of learning to do. Looking forward to the years to come!
Thanks everyone! It warms my black heart to hear all this (note: heart is not really black).
Actually, I was in operation a bit before the website. Boy, those were the days....I did all my business by an emailnewsletter and you had to email me to request boards. This format is much better, I gotta say.

It won't take long

Glad to be part of this great community!

I can't believe you've only been around a year! I found this place about 8 months ago and would have imagined you'd been around for at least a few years already. I built my first pedal from one of your boards (super hard-on). Before that, I had never even seen the inside of a pedal and I assumed they were boxes of magic filled with unicorn horns and dragon turds. Thank you for helping me debunk that myth. Seriously, you have a great thing going here. The web site is awesome. Your customer service is awesome. Your boards and PDFs are awesome. Thanks.

Well, maybe yours aren't... ;)
Congrats and happy birthday MB! I remember those emails, in fact I was going through old emails recently and found one announcing a new board, the Aristocrat! That was so long ago now ahahaha You have been awesome for the DIY community Brian!
Happy birthday Bean ole boy :D
