Madbean Tapanator Projects
Here are some great new Tap-Tempo projects by Madbean.
I prefer to add them all in the same post because they are meant to work together.
You could use 1/8" jack & plugs.
You can find all info and his great (and cheap!) PCBs on his website here.
The TapLFO is available from SmallBear here.

Madbean Cave Dweller (2015)
Here is the newer version of the Cave Dweller.
You can find Brian's original project here.
Original info:
The Cave Dweller 2015is a total re-design of the Cave Dweller project from 2012.

Original info:
The Cave Dweller 2015is a total re-design of the Cave Dweller project from 2012.
While the original Cave Dweller was a simple and colorful sounding delay it
had a few drawbacks;
it was pretty lo-fi, and darkened the dry guitar tone somewhat. This was
due to the limitation of using only the PT2399 for both dry signal and delay
signal processing. The objectives for the re-design were to improve the quality
of delay and dry guitar signal without requiring as many parts as a
full-fledged delay circuit such as the MBP ZP Micro. This is accomplished by
introducing a new input stage for dry signal processing and also by adding
additional filtering to the delay signal. The result remains fairly low in parts
count without compromising on the delay tone.

Madbean Sharkfin Filter (Maestro FSH-1 without Sample&Hold)
Here is a layout for Madbean Sharkfin filter side.
There is already a verified layout for the complete project but I've preferred to use a separated post for this one
24/08/16 Layout updated!
Moved bottom left 3K3 resistor up one row to connect it to 150n output cap.

Madbean Ping (Reverb)
A great simple reverb from Madbean.
You can find his 1590G size boards and infos on his website.
The way the layout has been drawn you should be able to solder the brick directly to the board and lay it under it.

Madbean Shortstack Overdrive
Noticed frank had posted this in response to someones questions about the bluesberry mod for the hotcake. When i compared the schematic to the hotcake i noticed a few differences so I thought it would be a nice addition and variation to have on the site. The only addition to the schematic I mad is I added the typical 1M pulldown resistor to prevent any switch popping.

Madbean Pig Butt
Brian's description:
The PigButt is a modded Op-Amp Muff.
It's a nasty little beast, full of saturated distortion; not too edgy nor too smooth.
It provides a wonderfull "wall of fuzz" like the Big Muff but with a different feel and texture.
The PigButt also features a tone bypass switch for even greater distorted output.
