I've been meaning to get this posted for ages and just never did. jhaneyzz and I did a duty trade recently and given he's one of my fave enclosure gurus, he did me up a solid with an enclosure for a board I built up. My goto pedal on my live rig is a comp. I like opticals because they tend to lean more toward the limiting side with little to no "pumping". The Madbean board uses a THAT chip and it fills a nice gap between optical and vca. It's quiet (very important) but is capable of being a bit more aggressive than most opticals when needed (I don't). I use it to hit the front end of my Blackstar Amped2 a bit hotter than unity so I can use the guitar volume to run clean or not-so-clean. It's the only thing hitting the front of the amp.
The enclosure is James' magic with an etched theme that looks clean and distressed at the same time. The indicator is a marble, back lit with an LED (his signature) and the wiring is bare artwork that I'd never have the patience for.
Enough...let the photos speak:
