MBP Green Bean 2019

[Synchrony Pedalworks]

I wanted to try a TS variant, but was pessimistic about the idea. I have always had the notion that I was a Bluesbreaker man, and I could not enjoy a TS style pedal.

Well, I can honestly state that there is love in my heart for a tubescreamer, but it does not replace the Bliesbreaker. Fortunately, they are different enough to enjoy a role on my pedalboard.

This build was more difficult for me. First, the Mosfet (2n7000) was bad or I destroyed it when soldering. Next, I did not recognize an intermittent short caused by the 9mm pot’s support leg resting on a resistor. Once corrected, I got the pedal working with charm.

I think the art design is self explanatory as a tribute to Mr. Vaughn and made with vinyl decals. The enclosure is a really nice piece from Stompboxparts. It has a wonderful finish.

Thanks! For giggles, this was the first attempt at the art. I thought the white made it too plain. I was attempting to emulate a Seymour Duncan TS like pedal, but it didn’t quite cut it for me. The ladies of my house liked the first version best.

I really really don’t want to say this cause I absolutely love them both and don’t want you to feel like you made the wrong decision but man I absolutely love the first version! Maybe make another circuit with that design? I love both of them man you have some good taste in style!
