I had a DR_BEN account before, I couldn't log into it. I set up new BL_Devices.
Officially now my workshop is called Black Label Devices (the change took place in 2021, Dr Ben was a very bad name for me). I still use the remaining tiles with the old logo :) I hope I've explained everything now :)

Build Reports / Manny (Benson Preamp)

Hello!
The original Benson blew me away with its sound. I decided to build a copy of it. I named him MANNY
The layout is extremely simple in construction.


A friend of mine recorded the sound. Earlier, when my wart was called DR BEN, the preamp was created with a different name and graphics (RADAMENES) :)

That's no problem. I figured it was something like that. Anyway, it's great work!

Thank you! :)
I also built a separate CE-1 preamp to complete the set. The perfect accessory for fans of John Fruscinate.

And sound sample of CE-1 Preamp + CE-2

At the beginning of my post I would like to welcome you all, this is my first post :)
Um, this exact same "first post" was posted two years ago under this topic:
https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=27629.180

On the 13th page of the posting, it even has the exact same picture of the gut shot of the pedal!
What is going on here?


This is my old account that I couldn't access. Now I have a new one and I wanted to present my effect again :)

Now to the point.
I would like to boast about the result of my work. This is an exact copy of the BOSS CE-1 chorus from BOSS
I named it LEGEND :)

The differences between the original include
-possibility to supply with a standard 9V power supply, or BOSS polarization if you prefer
- hardly available analog MN3002 delay line replaced with a newer chip with identical parameters
-reelational preamplifier which, when properly set, beautifully colors the sound
- perfect sounding chorus
-very original vibrato.
-option to use the effect in stereo configuration
- powder coated housing, the paint has a unique structure
- UV print applied directly to the housing
- definitely smaller size, less emergency than the hard-to-reach and very expensive original
- housing dimensions are 187x118mmx38mm


Samples for one of the first chorus versions:

I started working on the effect in 2019, of course I first made a few prototype circuits with a positive or less positive effect.
However, what it presents is currently the final version.
If you have any questions, feel free to discuss.


Regards!
