I can not help admiring all the great pedals posted here. And this is my own humble contribution from Zaragoza (spain).
It is the macheen with a hand painted voodoo symbol. These symbols are called "veve" and this one represents Papa Legba. I am going to try this on bass, on a voodoo themed song from my new band :)

I like your configuration. Nice looking build!
cool enclosure! how do you like the circuit?
the macheen was one of the old-school madbean projects i missed. i really should etch a board or at least breadboard one up some time, just to see what it sounds like.
I like the layout of this pedal. Great jack and switch placement and wonderful paint job.

I have played it with guitar and bass but only at home: low volume, little amp. I like the ring modulation effect on some settings, but it becomes too harsh using it alone (IMO, of course). I thing i prefer it pushing another fuzz or overdrive pedal on low gain settings.
I think I reduced the resistance on the [source, drain?] I can't remember the schematic, to ZERO ohms to ground on one of the FET's which gave it the craziest sound ever. The Machine got me into pedal building, after building one I became obsessed :)
Was it ZVex or Escobedo that can be credited with crossover distortion in pedal form?
Escobedo had the tripple fuzz where ZVex had 2 of em in series?
Anyone know the full story?
nacho,
I just really love the look of this one.
Very nice build.
Love the hand painted graphics!
Thanks and thanks. I've had too little time for pedals in the last months (even to read the forum!). But i have some boards waiting for me!
And it's always nice to hear kind words.
PD It sounds great on bass, paired with the faultline produces a thick sound that really cuts through.
That's a great looking pedal for sure
Very Voodoo!
Like everything about this built, nice work :)
I have one of these populated, rocked...just not boxed...really nice effect indeed.
I'm also interested in the full story of crossover distortions if someone knows it.
