It's not a madbean board but it's available as "the snack shack".
Here is my build #10. I wanted to try the turret or tag boards so I used a DAM meathead layout I found on FSB. I built it on a tag board, using "mojo" components, glued the board with a glue gun. I'm pretty proud with my wiring this time. I wanted it to look like coming from the hell's gate, rusty, bloody  ;D
so I sanded it with the dremel engraving tool ,let the enclosure sat in salted water + vinegar for 5 days...
and TADA!  ::)
The fuzz sounds awesome, a lot of bite!
I really had fun using these tag boards, I think I'll do some other simple pedals like that ...

Thats a great idea. I will have to try that because the finish looks awesome.  ;)

Awesome NightB!
Where did you get that tagboard???  Its the perfect size, I just ordered some 'flea clips' from smallbear to turn a perf into a tagboard for the 'point to point' Clark Gainster clone I want to build from FSB...  Nice work

Thanks!

These are the one I use. They are half a meter long, with 61 terminals. I marked the cut with a precision blade, then I snapped it by hand to a 6 terminal long board. This stuff is really cool to work with :)

Great job!! I have a ton of tagboard layouts I want to eventually do. Have you look at Ivark's site? He has done a ton of layouts.

I haven't look at his site yet, but I used his layout posted on fsb. Thanks for the info, I'll throw an eye at his web  ;)

I'm looking into it! Found this stuff which seems like it would work. http://www.turretboards.com/-->circuit board material.
Might have to bust a wood and nail pedal just for fun  :)

The tag boards are cheaper than the turret boards.

The turret boards are really expensive and most of them are for amps. The cheapest way is to build your own turret board. Here are some turrets (this site offers cool boards to drill too) :

On turretboards.com there is a tutorial on building your own turret boards, it involves a lot of steps, but there is a more simple method, just drill the board as discribed and punch the eye of the turret with a hammer and this tool :

Hope this helps

I've built a few of marks layouts and they're very good.  Ive only done one of his tagboard layouts, but I've done about five or six veros.  I've done a couple of audioclone's layouts as well and have had great results.  He really knows his stuff when it comes to vintage fuzz effects.

Cool build.  This one will give nightmares  ;D
