Mad Bean Pedals 3PDT Quick Start Manual

Fx type: utility

Note: The 3PDT boards are now sold as singles rather than two PCBs connected together (and
at a cheaper price!)
Terms of Use: You are free to use purchased circuit boards for both DIY and small commercial operations. You may not offer these PCBs for resale or
as part of a "kit" in a commercial fashion. Peer to peer re-sale is, of course, okay

  • Page 2 They will easily break apart. Use wire cutters to trim excess. The 3PDT board is designed to use in the 1590B, 125B, 1590BB and up. It may be possible to use them in 1590A and/or 1590G builds, but that really depends on the build and how much space you...
  • Page 3 GROUND pad to the effect PCB. LED CATHODE (-): Used for MBP style boards that have the indicator LED mounted on the effect PCB. This pad connects the 3PDT ground to the LED cathode to illuminate the LED when the effect is turned on.
  • Page 4 This is a typical of example of a lot of PCB designs. The effect PCB has four connections (In, +, - , Out). In this case you will use a bypass LED soldered directly to the 3PDT board. The current limiting resistor is used, as well. This can be as low as 1k but it really depends on the type of LED you are using and how bright you want it to be.
  • Page 5 Case 2 Here is an example of a typical MBP 1590B board. The LED indicator is soldered to the 8-Ball PCB which also has the CLR already on it. The DC Jack is connected directly to the effect PCB, as well.
  • Page 6 G, L, S, [LED], I, R, O. In this case I and O are actually the input and output jacks, not the circuit input and output (those are labeled S for send and R for return). Starting in 2017, all new designs will use the same labels as the 3PDT...
