I'm really excited to see what Brian unleashes upon us. Time to speculate?
I know there's a vibrato pedal in the works, but I'm excited to see if anything else is unveiled! (I'm hoping for the sequencer project he's been talking about for a while)
He said he's got something like 2 dozen projects he's working on. I'm hoping he releases a few new ones but that vibe seems to be what everyone is waiting for.
i just realized i posted in the announcements subforum. sorry.
Brian is such a tease! But also a BAMF. Worth the wait, but I'm still getting anxious!
the secret ways of the bean....
Hey guys,
It's going to be a few more days before the store opens again. I want to finish off this looper project so I can release it at the same time and I haven't done anything with the website yet. I'm shooting for early next week, but we'll see how things go in the next couple of days. I'll keep everyone updated at the conclusion of the weekend.
It will be worth the wait, I promise!
Well, hurry up! :D
I just found this site the other day and I want to give you money for your products!
All work and no pcbs makes me a dull boy.

VERY unhappy with the quality of PCB I just got from Mammoth Electronics. I WILL be ordering from madbean as soon as the shop opens back up.

Can you explain what you mean by quality?

There were MANY small holes, nicks an tiny imperfections in the etching. Also, it was single sided, something that I wasn't expecting. So, when I went to populate the board, everything was backwards.
Yeah, two of MB's boards I built a while back in my first batch were single-sided and it was really confusing placing everything mirror imaged. Those were black though. Much easier to see through the Boneyard I did as it was the yellowish material. I feel spoiled when I get to build on a fabbed board it's like solder-by-number.
How is it mirror imaged? The layouts are pictured top down and components are placed exactly as shown. Can you elaborate please?
I don't think he means mirror imaged. I remember my first single sided board- there was a little learning curve.
I'm excited about the projects Brian. There's not a bean board I've built or etched thatdidnt fire right up. I like barrys wire- but im Not a huge fan of his Layouts. And I greatly admire that you share your artwork. Thanks-
Yeah, I guess I was a little less than eloquent. Like sprayfe said, it was a bit of a learning curve deciphering placement from the other side of the PCB. It was just a little quicker to check my work with the translucent-ish yellow boards. I meant it to be more of a defense of all single-sided boards. Sorry if that caused any confusion for anyone.
SO. EAGERLY. AWAITING. STORE. OPENING.
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
Yes Barry's boards are all etched so they are only single sided. The holes are slightly smaller than a fabricated circuit board but you shouldn't have any problems fitting the regular component leads through. I've received quite a few boards from Barry now and I've never had one that didn't work. I've seen oxidation on them before but thats because he doesn't tin them like MB. I know for a fact he doesn't send out boards with holes drilled out of place or weak traces because I've spoken to him about it.
Just to inform you there are MB projects that are etched just like the ones at Guitarpcb and will only be single sided. It seems like he's moving more away from it though. You do have to get used to looking at the layouts a certain way, but once you get it down you'll never think about it. Kinda like riding a bike. :)
Oh, oh, oh, I hope madbean has a Pearl Octaver project for me. ;D
For reals. My lady is going to Europe for a few weeks on study abroad. I gotta have something to build since I will have all this free time late at night (ha!)
any word?
This is worse than Christmas! With Christmas, you at least know that it's coming on Dec. 25.
The store will re-open tomorrow. The new projects will be the Quadrovibe, Tilt and Loophole. There will be some new sale prices, too!

My hope is to have that in the next round of manufactured boards. That order will be placed sometime in July. There are a number of really cool, fairly complicated effects I want to get out, including the Dipthonizer, Electric Mistress and some other ones I haven't mentioned yet.
Hi!
I don't know if it's just me but I can't open the new projects PDFs.
Their names are not underlined like the others and when you click on them nothing happens.
Any particular reason?
Is "http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/index.html" still the correct address?
Thanks

Those docs have not been released yet. They should be up soon.
Thanks for your help.
I was going crazy.
I'll be waiting then.
Yeah, sorry about that...I went ahead and opened the store 'cause every one has been waiting. I will get that stuff done here in the ext few hours.
