Title: 1. RETROGRADE Tycobrahe Octavia
Post by: Liustucru on February 12, 2012, 10:59:17 AM
Hey,
my first finished MADBEAN project.
I've done the Retrograde months ago.
I was a beginner, so the wiring is not neat at all but it works !!!

Nice! Wiring looks neat enough to me.

Is the font engraved on the front?

Thanks  ;)
I'm now using solid core wire that helps especially for the 3pdt part.

Yes the font is engraved into the enclosure as for my Sunking : http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=3839.msg34172#msg34172
I work in an Aerospace research laboratory and we have an old engraver which was used to make office labels.

I really like the engraving on the front! Congrats on your first build, with a little planning your wiring will get much neater.  :)

nice, I've been wanting to build one of these for a while. I just made a Small Bear order, so I ended up buying the transformer so that way I've got it on hand.
