Behold. The Meatsphere.

This one has been in the works for awhile. If Scott Mezei didn't stop by the other day and get this build back on track, it would still be sitting on the shelf. Thanks!

The Meatsphere is a wild beast that takes a bit of experimenting to tame. It's a funky "auto-wah" that is capable of producing some of the craziest sounds. I will do an audio/video demo sometime soon.

At the moment I have the Send/Return jacks bypassed and I used the MadBean Standard wiring diagram instead of the one provided with the project. This was my first crack at using waterslide decals. It worked better than I hoped! I will definitely be using this method of finishing again. And yes, I screwed up on labeling the controls. I used "Delay" instead of "Decay". Just gives me an excuse to build another one!

Thanks everyone. This build is a monster. I've been messing around with it for 2 days now and I'm still finding different nuances.

GrindCustoms: When I first wired up the Meatsphere I believe I had some grounding issues as well, that's why I decided to go with the MadBean Standard wiring scheme instead of the one provided. I just left the LED on the meatsphere wired to the LED +/- on the PCB.

Haberdasher: It's a laser print. I'm very happy with how this came out.

The look on this one is dead-on. I will also be trying my first waterslide in the near future, so this was inspiring!
