BSIAB in a 1590B?

[YouAre]

Has anyone fit a BSIABII in a 1590b box? Got pictures?
Thanks,
Murad

I have, and it's quite difficult to fit everything inside, but not impossible. I don't have pictures, but when i have some, i'll upload them.

I just failed at this. even without a battery. I have been humble'd pie'd.

I will use the enclosure for a FF now...

IF you omit the battery,

IF you use one of those "mounts-from-the-inside" DC jacks that stick out,

If you use 16mm pots,

and IF you can drill a box with 1/16" of an inch tolerance then it would be ok using the GGG layout.

The sides of the layout must be trimmed (sanded) right down to the ground trace. A little too tight maybe?
Perhaps another, smaller layout. Or rotate the PCB 90 deg and hover over the pots a bit.

Either way you can do it, and that would be something.
Good luck

I have. with battery and standard jacks. It's difficult a bit but not impossible.
I'll send photos a.s.a.p.

I built one a couple of years ago.  There used to be a layout around for it.

If your box is tall enough, you can even keep the battery space. Just put the pc board behind the pots!!

I've been doing this for every pedal I've built, lately: boss CE-2, phase 90, dynacomp, tubescreamer. I had to omit the battery on the CE-2 only.
However I usually make my own super-small layouts for the pedals I build. Sometimes I simply start from tonepad's layouts and do some shrinking, instead.
I can send you my own layout I drew for the BSIAB2, which is 17x12 perfboard holes (can't tell you exactly how many inches it is off the top of my head, but it is very small!).

i don't know why, i've always had an affinity to put the jacks on the sides, usually in the middle, or towards the top, then the DC jack on the top side. Usually that layout requires a lot more work, but i like it that way. Thats the route i'm trying to go.

Well there ya go, Korgull.

There was a great 1590B perf project that fit a Rebote 2 delay complete with PCB mounted switch and jacks from forumite Soggybag.
Sadly his webdevils site that hosted the project is not longer. That was one I had wished I saved!

I took a look inside my BSIAB and was horrified by the wiring job. Yikes!
I was my third pedal I built.

So I decided to re-house it and put my money where my mouth is and use the box layout I posted above.
I used the GGG layout with the sides of the PCB sanded right down to the ground trace.
Board is wedged in thanks to a clump of capacitors on the lower left corner.


I could have moved the board over the pots to add a battery but it was easier to wire this way.
Some won't like how high the pots are.

If anything this demonstrates the accuracy of using a vector program to layout the box
and RG's paper template to mark the holes for drilling.

Great Job! I winged it and lost! Most of the time I nail it but I now have a predrilled box for a Fuzz.

That is some fine work.

thanks guys! i'm pretty confident that i can succeed in that now.
