Madbean Pedals
Madbean power board (Road Rage) was first was purchased to be combined with JMKPCBs Testing Rig. Recognized need for 12v power and bought more for a total of 15 in case additional power needs arose. Will keep extra on hand to make 12v and 15v power supplies as necessary. I screwed up and bought the ProtoRig when I needed the ProtoRig Jr. I should be using the ZY-204 Breadboard I have, not the ProtoRig. ProtoRigJr. + the RRBB makes the ZY-204 way more valuable. Unclear what I need, enclosure-wise for Strober and sProbe.

- ProtoRig - This is a full breadboard and Madbean setup for power. We have this, but prefer to use the ProtoRigJr, as it enables the use of our full breadboard and the Prototyping Platform.
- ProtoRigJr. - This is the harness that sets up a conventional spring-loaded breadboard for 1/4" instrument cables and power.
- The RRBB is a Roadrage for a breadboard. It allows one to set power to -9v, or 9v, or 18v, and provides power to the breadboard. When using with a ProtoRig or ProtoRigJr, the power switch from the Proto must be set to "unfiltered".
- The Sprobe Tests a PCB that's already been installed in an enclosure. The switch on the PCB toggles between the "In" jack which presumes that the pedal is fully operational, and the probe, which allows one to touch various points on the PCB to get signal through the probe and to the amp. This is to help identify where the pedal may be failing before taking it out of the enclosure.
- The Strober allows for troubleshooting stereo effects.
Parasit Studio
Bought 2 RC boxes to populate for testing amps and pedals. These will be for modifying resistors and capacitors for maximal sound from a pedal.

The Lightbulb Limiter
To be built in Season Zero. This will protect an amplifier's circuitry on startup. THIS DOES NOT PROTECT THE TECHNICIAN!"
