Been on the road a good bit this month, so haven't been building much... I've missed you guys.
I've had this one on my shelf since before I moved to Nashville almost year ago. I remember ordering it the day it came out, but never got around to building it up. When I finally did, I had everything except for the 2MB pot. I found some cheap on eBay... and they were delivered to my old address back in East TN a week later and never forwarded to me.
So... I finally picked up one of those pots in my last SmallBear order and finished the thing.
I love it.
I think I love it enough to sell my MIDI MuRF, as I basically use it for the same purpose. I haven't built an effect in a long time that just felt VINTAGE to me like this thing does. It ticks... it's a little noisy... but it's a charming sort of noise. Almost musical. Funky. Can't explain it, but it's stupidly cool.
No part subs, no issues either... except for me trying to fire it up 3 different times without all of the transistors in place (I was excited).
LEDs are, of course, a nice shimmery meth-y blue.

man, that kicks ass. I love everything about it.
Great theme and execution!
I miss that show
Don't know the show but sweet build
Well, that looks So Phine.
Spiffin'... :o
Ha! LOVE IT!
Both inside and out!
That is one slick decal job.
The wiring is nothing to sneeze at, either!
That looks awesome. nicely executed inside and out
No love for Tantalum though? (elemental symbol Ta) :P
That is so nice!
True story, i just finished watching the last 3 episodes of Breaking Bad, thought i'd check madbean before i went to bed, BAM, here this is. Great build mate, love the theme, love the show. A bit sad that it's finished really, actually saved a heisenberg image for a future build yesterday. :)
Very nicely executed. I'd love to hear a demo if you have time.
Very nice, Dane. Nice to see you posting again.
Really nice Dane!
Mine have also been in the project bin since it's first release... never got at ordering the right 470uf caps(size wise)....
Thanks for the kind words friends! It's fun getting back to building a bit. I hope to have a few more posted in the coming weeks.

You know, this one's already in someone else's hands. I sort of rushed getting it done, as there's a chance it might end up in the hands of a pretty well-known player. That being said, I was pretty enamored with the thing while I was trying it out, so I'll likely build another for myself pretty soon. I'll post a demo of that one!

The Heisenberg sketch was one of my favorite images from the whole show. So cool. I've already decided that if I do another BB-themed pedal, it'll likely feature Hector Salamanca and have some reference to that bell that he dings.
That's a great build all around!
Way cool graphics and all around bitchin' build. Well done.
