Here is my first build on a madbean board. It came together pretty nicely. It's a civil war muff that my brother in-law wanted me to build for him and I have another board I intent to build for myself. I added some diode clipping options. The diodes are 1n914 and Ge 1n60 in D1 and D2. In D3 and D4 are 1n914 and green 5mm LEDs. There are a lot of nice sound combinations with these. The transistors are 2n5088. I tried BC149s too which also sounded good. I might use those in mine.
The only issue I had with this build is that it didn't cut through the mix enough for me when I used it in band practice. I know this is common with muffs, but I read the civil war cuts through a little better. Is it the tone mod that will help it cut through better? I definitely want to mod mine to cut through better.
Here are the pics and also my vero clipping board.

Looks great, a sound check with it would be good...Nice idea with the clip board.
