Post pics of the sparkly one you have - it's excellent!

Tony - how did you get that sparkly look? You get the enclosure prefinished?

Yeah, pre-finished enclosure from mammoth. Not the cheapest or fastest way of doing things but it's a nice result.

'Dark Zag'. This was a refinish doing a better job 2nd time round. Madbean Lowrider... Art by my son when he was 7 (I think)



'Sparklehorn' Madbean Sparklehorn. Tribute to the my little pony of the same name. This had a tails board which I eventually ended up removing... there was a faint hiss introduced to the chain from the overdrive section of this pedal... shoulda thought of that first! ohwells, true bypass now



'Sharks with Laserbeams' Madbean Sharkfin.



Thats what I've done this year. Bit messy in the guts, but I've stopped caring about that so much

HA! Messy is not a word I would use!!!

Man you guys have all really upped the DIY pedal game!

He's better than some stuff from the local art school haha.

Keep an eye out on Pledgeme in the next month!

What a tease

Thoughts on the Lowrider, Cdog? Decent tracking? I really want an Octron, but thinking this might fit the bill.

I love the gritty pedal board

Thanks for the kind words bros... agreed, the standard is very high in this thread, its really inspiring to see all the creative chops of the forum builders

Hey Fraser...well it's not polyphonic, so nothing like a POG. The sound is cool, octave up is token really not really noticeable. Octave down 1&2 are awesome... Tracks a whisker looser than a POG, but that's actually better imho. Kinda fattens it out like a double tracker. Not polyphonic, so you can do only single note lines, but good blending options. I like it, wasn't fussed on the pitch fork but I'd like POG for the upper octave option blend. There's a newer revision on Madbean now, might have improvements, this was the original PCB

Oh and Oldie, pedalboard is great thanks for noticing, but terrible on rainy days

The important thing about the Lowrider is that there is NO DSP code in it, so expect glitchiness if you feed it non-perfect playing. (It does have some 4000 series logic, chiefly as octave dividers.)

Not mine, but handmade, this is awesome!

Indeed! Cool idea
