First 1590a build. AHHHH!

[midwayfair]

So .... it's .....

Jim -- he's not dead.

[bluebunny]

Ha ha!  Nope.  Kirk appears to be immortal.  Which probably massages Bill Shatner's Constellation-class ego somewhat...   

[Mike Burgundy]

Oh boy...Is he gonna start singing again? ;P

Nice work!

[Pyr0]

So if your into speedmetal, maybe make the Wampler Triple Wreck in a 1590A next then.
Someone on the other forum did.

T-T-T-TRIPLE POST! 


I just printed the graphic on waterslide paper. I decided against the suicide phaser graphic since I'm going to start selling them. I live in the bible belt and it would be hard to sell it with that graphic.

Ha ha, love that Kirk picture!

Thanks Paul


@pyro    That's perfect. I'll need to order some of them fancy shmancy pots though.

[Mark Hammer]

If people are building these things for themselves, why don't they use 1/8" mini phone plugs and jacks for interconnections?  That should free up a wad of space, not to mention giving you more flexibility with respect to where thngs are placed.  A 1590A should be able to easily accommodate 2 jacks, side by side along the rear skirt, letting yu place the stompswitch close to the front and leaving all that real estate ( ) in between.

[haveyouseenhim]

Like I said, I'm starting to sell them.  And I dont have a bunch of 1/8th inch patch cables laying around

I'm making progress on the enclosure. The other one is a new finish I'm trying. I got the idea from Darron

[Pyr0]

Very nice.
How do you get that effect for the one on the right ?

[haveyouseenhim]

I saw this effect on Darron's site. I used a wire wheel with my dremmel to make the stripes. Then I used a transparent red lacquer to color it. Then I made a rig to make a sunburst finish.

[haveyouseenhim]

IT"S DONE!!!




Here's an update on the sunburst I'll be making a tutorial in the next day or two

[Morocotopo]

Do you people realize this is a disease, right? Called miniaturitis, it´s in the books. Lok for it.

A five knobber! Are you out of your mind?? How am I supposed to turn them?? With tweezers??



One question: if you have a bunch of 1590a pedals side by side on the pedalboard, how do you stomp on them without turning two or three at a time? Really thin pointy shoes?

I´m currently trying to figure out how to fit 9 knobs, 3 toggles, 2 LED´s  and the 3PDT without using my mom´s cake pan for a box... and no, no 9 mm. pots allowed.

You have to wear winklepickers:

I have seen a variation of these where the toe is curled around backwards like something you would see in a mediaeval woodcut.  The only people I have seen wearing them were Italian street gangs in Toronto in the 1960's.

[haveyouseenhim]

^^haha.   Maybe that's why Gearmanndude wears those pointy snakeskin boots 

[haveyouseenhim]

  I just showed it to a buddy at radioshack that happens to be a treky and he flipped. He probably wants to start playing guitar just so he can use it   LOL    I dont think he even knows what a Phase 90 is.

[haveyouseenhim]

Just sold the P90 for $120    I'm gonna have to beam up another one because that sold fast.
