Show me your 1590A enclosures/pedals...

rare to see a battery in a 1590a build! (:

but then i guess you couldn't fit the DC sock too... or could you...? go on (:

[Earthscum]

DC socket? I could, right at the end at the tip of the input jack. I don't have a need for one (yet), but I made sure I had room for one if needed.

I'm starting to think like a smartass... I'm thinking I could fit a DS-1 in an "A" with a battery, lol. If I can manage that, I guess I have to make another "A" box wah and go for a univibe, right? no battery, though, lmao... although a couple 12V's... nah.

Noooo, they can't be small, I thru a Superfly into one, no problem. But wait, you could be right, I didn't manage to squeeze a battery in there

yeah.. i was gonna say....

but making it usb rechargeable and 4G/GSM ready makes up for that! wait...

Almost, it's USB powered 





No, not really, but you can use the tone control to dial in the right tone.

Tell me about it!  I instantly regretted ordering four of them the moment I opened the package, and wondered what the four slightly-oversized pencil sharpeners were...

Then I built three pedals (so far) - cursed often along the way for having so little room for manoeuvre - and went and ordered another four!

these builds are even more amazing than i thought!!!...

hey, putting a 9V battery inside a 1590a enclosure (with a switch and a circuit too  of course ) is definitely possible but very hard.
I did it but in the end I asked myself: why all this pain and effort?

Anyway you need the right circuit. Earthscum one chip drive is something I have to try out for this purpose.

By the way, check out ews little brute drive (I don't know if I remembre the name correctly) a full overdrive distortion with ac adaptor and a 9V battery inside, it is a very clean job.

I was asked to do something to lower the volume. So i built a buffer with a volume control:

and went and ordered another four!

thats masochism for ya!!!. ..i swear enough with a 1590b...i'd probably totally lose it with a 1590a...

[Earthscum]

Make note, I'm throwin' my chips in with y'all... I just ordered 2 more. 

Files and peeled back fingernails, here we come!

Once you start these things, you'll never stop.

[deadastronaut]

^beauty!..

hmmm  i'm sorely tempted to get a couple of these li'l buggers now...

and some 9mm pots..

[guitarmageddon]

9mm pots are only for builds with 5 or more, just sayin'

[deadastronaut]

ok no cheating..

edit: ok ive just bought 2....i'm in...

edit 2:  heres my plan for an etched ab box...whether this comes to fruition we shall see..i'm looking forward to messing around with these lil buggers...and swearing a lot.. .

Oh, now I know why this felt like cheating  



Edit: When saying that in a sniggering voice it feels so sad that the second PCB ("under" the visible one) doesn't show on this image.

Ok, latest "A" build.
