Title: The Miracle Mongin (Green Bean and Slow Loris 2-in-1)
Post by: Tuxedo3 on August 11, 2016, 08:30:15 PM
Hey guys, here to show you my first 2-in-1 build. I named it The Miracle Mongin after my friend (his last name is Mongin, he has like 20 nicknames, Chunka Mike, Chunks, The Miracle Mongin, the list goes on). This was really challenging for me, I am insanely happy with how it turned out though. The LED for the Green Bean is green, and the Slow Loris is red. That makes me happy.

*I took this picture before I soldered on that effect switch board on, disregard how that is just sitting there.

That looks really nice. I imagine it's a big fat sound when they're both on.

Nice! I'm with jimi bet it sounds great with both cranked.

Did a double take when I noticed where the jacks were. Not totally sold on top mounted jacks but I've never tried bottom mounted jacks.

I like it, the colour is kind of the colour of austrian military vehicles ^^ any plan to add labels? with that many going on it's easy to get lost.

I recommend using 3PDT daughter boards especially for multi builds, just makes wiring so much easier and cleaner. You did a good job though even without them.

Love the order switcher. What inspired the jack placement?

Cool to see this one finished up. I know you've had it in the works for a while. Even had room to stuff in the order selector switch. Awesome!
And no doubt it sounds amazing.
Out of curiosity, what order do you prefer? Rat first or the OD?

Honestly, space. I didn't think I could get them on the sides between the boards and the footswitches, so I thought of the bottom and it actually works really well on my pedalboard!

Man, good question. I'm a big fan of TS circuits, and the idea was to use the Green Bean as like a dirty boost into the RAT, ya know. But i've never used a RAT before and that's a sweet sounding distortion. So i'd have to go with that.
