Very cool!
I haven't made it very far into the vid yet. That resonator caught my eye, and I stopped listening, so I will have to try again later once my shiny object syndrome subsides. ;)
I have toured the Madbean Shop in person. I demand a t-shirt that indicates such. ;D

Interesting... and are those the new invisible cables on the pedalboard? :)
As said really cool to see the Bean cave, now watched it all the way through, very organized there. It will be very interesting the see the 5 times bigger room converted then in the coming months. That should really be a good place to spread out then, I bet you're looking forward to that!
I'm interested if you have any 'blindingly simple obvious nice little trade secrets' or funky tools that come in handy in your work flow when you put pedals or stuff together. Something that you find indispensable everyday use we might not have thought of.
For me what comes to mind is my great pair of quality tweezers which I use all the time to poke stuff around and gets things into place. And a big blob of blue tack that always comes in handy to hold parts and wires in place as a third and forth hand. So stupidly simple and makes live so much easier...
Maybe you could do a walk through of your typical workflow of building a pedal? Cheers
great video with lots of interesting and/or fun facts.
keep up the good work and have fun with your new room!
I am incredibly jealous of your space. I wish I had at least a room to lock myself in to work on anything. Instead, I work on the dining room table (we never eat on it unless its a special occasion) right next to the door to our screened porch, which is always opening and closing. Did I mention the cat box three feet away in the bottom of our chimney? Oh yeah, we don't have central air in our apartment and its August in Atlanta. The closest window unit is twenty or so feet away. I usually work with sweat running down my back. Does it sound like I'm complaining? I promise I actually enjoy it.
In my head I think my girlfriend believes if I work over there long enough I'll get over this hobby. In actuality, I think if I keep building in the corner, with obnoxious music/noise either coming out of my Bluetooth speaker or amp all the time then she will get tired of it and we move into our own house. I guess you could say I'm playing the long game here.
Bean, I'm sure some folks are thinking it. The day you have a clearing house sale to get rid of some of the stored stuff is going to be great!
After seeing this vid i will NEVER bitch about my backlog ever again xD... i would hide those bins under a rock in a ditch under a bridge and never think about them ever again !
When Tayda cant get their ass in gear and keep their 9mm pots stocked up Brian could just desolder a load and sell them back to em!
This was a cool video! I would love another video to show some more of your DIY pedals/pedalboards and some building tips. Any chance of you showing us more about your planned soft-touch looper? Thanks.
Your shop looked pretty much like I expected. Purple walls is a very nice touch. A bit smaller than I expected and unless you did a massive cleanup it was much more organized than it should be. My space got gutted due to us trying to sell the house but it still looks like someone broke in and ransacked the place at any given moment. Luckily it's in the basement.
Temple.Many projects it went into the world.It is a pity that international shipping
it is 10 dollars.
Health Mr.Madbean

Yeah, sorry about that. It turns out many of the recent Flats shipments went missing or were returned due to labeling errors done by the 3rd party processing center. So, I had to re-instate regular 1st Class for everything. I lowered the price to $10 though. Better to lose a little money on my end in shipping than lose all my international customers.
I finally got a chance to sit down and watch it. Very cool video. Nice workspace, too.
Nice video. Very interesting to see your box of empty PCBs as well as the bins of the assembled ones. HARBINGER TWO? intriguing.
Thanks for sharing this. I finally got through it all last night. I can't believe how many boards you've built up. Although I think you convinved me, now, to knock out all my backlog in parallel instead of series. That way I'll actually get through them (I hope). First populate all PCBs, then giant pot order and populate all those, and finally only box at the end. That way I'll end up with less half finished things and I'll be less tempted to buy more before I finish what I have to build now.
Neat video! :)
