Greasejob (Madbean Greasegun)

I call it..."Greasejob" 







The pictures really don't do the dormant blue sparkle justice, but it looks very sparkly in real life.  I ended up powdercoating it twice after boning the first copper dormant sparkle by using "non-chlorinated" brake cleaner...don't use that near powdercoat I found out the hard way.   

I used a white LED with one of my 3PDT breakout boards with a trim pot for LED brightness.  This PCB is growing on me.  At first I didn't like it much but it really responds well with a slightly dirty channel on a tube amp as Bean suggested.  The best description that comes to mind is "chewy" kind of OD.  Really makes my Fender Blues Deluxe sound nice and...well...errr.. chewy!  I dig.  Hard to put a finger on any other type of drive that gives that gritty, chewy sound.  I will try to get some sound samples up soon.

Love it, great job. Nice faceplate also. I wish the metallic paint took better pictures also. I used a few and they look so dull in photos but they look awesome in person. This pedal has been on my board a few weeks and I really like it. Get some nice low gain grit to all out fuzz.

You have these stomp boards on osh park? I just realized this would be great with the really bright blue leds

This looks really cool. Dig the faceplate too. It's a pity I'll have to wait to february to build mine...

This is nice to hear. I knew that mr. Bean is gonna offer something unique on the table.

Thanks for all the positive comments!   

@jimi = I haven't had a chance to look at this 3PDT PCB since I designed it in July, and was using Eagle back then.  I will take a look soon to verify everything and see if I can't release it as an open-source thing for the community.  I really like the small size and the ability to use a trimmer to adjust the LED.  Fits in a 1590A fine.  On a really tight build you can use a Piher trimmer (which has top and bottom adjust) and mount underneath but the Tayda Bourns knockoffs work fine on top of the boards for most builds as seen above.
