     Sorry guys I couldn't resist! Any ways here is a build report for the Madbeans Kracken. This was a very fun, easy, and rewarding build. I am a lover of, well, all effects pedals but I do love me some envelope filters! This build is a straight up version of Brian's design. I didn't do any mods to it mainly because he already did the mods for me. I love the effect and it will certainly fit the need. This is the first time I am using the 1776 Opto-Tron. So far so good. I honestly haven't tried the pedal with the switch board yet. But, I will be sure to do so tomorrow.

     As for the art, I sto...borrowed it from the inter-tubes and did a little editing to fit the pedal I used the camp green color on the sides and back plate but decided to leave the top bare for whatever reason. I think it looks cool. Some thing weird happened to the decal when I clear coated the enclosure. I kind of distorted or ate away at the image in a couple spots. I though it actually looked kind of cool so I left it. This isn't a customer build or anything...I just wanted one. Well enough blabbing, I know what you guys want...the centerfold spread!!! Here ya go, Ya filthy animals!















IT'S SO ANGRY!!!


Thanks a ton for checking it out. I wil be sure to post a video when I get a chance to record one.

I really like the LED on the kracken eye too !

Bitchin' build Mike.  Tight and clean. Love the LED as well.  I personally think the half melted cap on the switch pad gives it some character. lol
