Cool video. Must be AZ I've never seen a saguaro cacti in CA. Thanks mang. If any of the footage from this weekend is worth it I will share a link. Cheers-

Thanks Kaleb. I feel like =maybe= if I had a big Fender Twin or something I might love it- as it stands it is def love/hate and I really don't use it- so I will prob do as you suggest- I'd much rather build my own. Thx.

Please be sure to adjust the time knob while active- I am interested in ones that adjust exactly like tape/old bucket brigade. Thx

Also- I did exactly as explained above but the link I used was the one you get when you are uploading and it says " your video will be avail at the following address" or whatever- which works- but does not work for embedding as far as I can tell. Just tested it using the regular url copy/paste method and worked fine.

some really good info in this thread- gonna have to bookmark it or something for future reference

Made this for a user considering the external trim pot mod- http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=3797.msg33755#msg33755

Ok f**k it- don't know how to embed youtube here-

I can't figure out how to embed-

sounds really great- def will build one of these- I find it very hard to find new pedals that time adjust like tape or BB- where it sounds JUST like slowing a tape or vinyl. Hmm- 2 of these in series in an enclosure...

very cool. This, a ring mod, and trem and I can get rid of my Line 6 MM pedal- ugh

$80 sounds very competitive to me if you think of time saved shopping and such and also if enclosure is pre-drilled and so forth- but i can look at my receipts they are at home on my desk. Can send info later. i'd make an initial guess that maybe you save $20 bucks or so. maybe more.

I just checked- my cost was about $73 but I had to order knobs separate so the fewer sources the less tax/shipping etc.

FYI if you are buying from SB and using a Madbean PCB it is very likely you can tell SB what you are building and send them the pdf build sheet and they can put the order together for you. i seem to recall SB and madbean having some sort of working relationship- or SB maybe kept parts lists on file for Madbean projects.

Welcome to the forums!

Well, basically you get the board, get the parts, download the .pdf from here for the board you bought, install the parts on the PCB, set up your enclosure, wire it all up. The documentation you get with the board will only show where the parts go and how it is wired up. no step by step. it will also give any important options for mods or part swap options.

What board did you buy?

I just did my first and had MANY questions before i even started. Be sure to search the forums and utilize the links section to visit and use other websites and forums as well.

i bought my parts from Small Bear and had a lot of noob questions which Steve answered for me (SB owner)
i got my enclosure from Pedal Parts Plus as they have great finishing options.

Anyway- ask questions- do searches and read- and be prepared. if you have never soldered before for example you will DEF want to practice first before possibly damaging your parts or your PCB.

Good luck!

Ya, honestly I'd be happy to mod the one I have- although -maybe- I could sell it and get enough money to cover cost of building my own which would be more satisfying in the long run. I wonder if I could adapt/apply mods listed here to the FT OCD- any thoughts?
thx

A ferrite bead or collar is simply a magnet that is affixed to a conductor- they have snap on and other easy to install types:

One suggestion was to unsolder the input wire nd use  ferrite bead? on it.

Not quite sure what this is. Does anyone know about this as a fix? How is it done?

Thanks
