Build Reports / Beans are screaming

Last post by benh - July 10, 2025, 08:26:32 AM

From the Album "Solder and Rust"... Ok that was a bad ozzie joke :-) I'm on a roll this week, here's my Beanscream :-) I went for BJT input buffer because I'm short on JFETs, and I'm happy to get an idea of what the OG sounds like but I can always 'upgrade' later :-)

Cheers !

I think KR Sound made one ? I want to say it's on the PPCB forum, but it might be here hiding in the Eagle sub forum.

I still use the old library and Dave at effects layouts has a library I also use. He has a tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X67wazQz0zQ I can't remember if he links it in the notes or where I got it. It's a great multi video tutorial though.

Wait until you learn how to make a schematic and layouts. Then you're hoarding on colossal scale.

Hah !

I started playing a bit with Kicad :-) I might try some simple things next holiday, we'll see...

Talking of which, I found somewhere a converted (to Kicad) old version of @madbean 's library (V3 I think). Are you guys aware of something newer/better put there ? I remember seeing a post by Mr Bean mentioning he was working on a newer release but I doesn't seem to have eventuated. I would even happily pay for it :-)

Very very cool. If you haven't built one yet, build a green Russian muffin. As a bassist, it's my go to fuzz.

I built one ages ago from a fuzz dog or musikding kit, I don't remember :-) before I knew what I was doing for sure :-) I might pop it open one of these days to look at the damage, he doesn't use much.

I'm going to do a violet ram's head soon too for guitars. I have the Tayda box already and I've breadboarded it to play with different diodes:

It's just me or is PCB hoarding a thing ? :-)

I keep buying "that looks like this might sound good" from Brian (or Aion, occasionally elsewhere)... And end up actually building only a fraction of those.

Sometimes I pick up an old one and bam ! It's been updated ... Then the temptation to buy the updated version....
