Show me your 1590A enclosures/pedals...

[vigilante397]

I already said this on the etched enclosures thread, but I freaking love it. So good.

[bluebunny]

Beautiful and insane!

Thomasha, care to share Solderman's PDF files using https://www.docdroid.net or something similar, I've checked this thread https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=83321.120 and all the links are dead, and unfortunately unavailable with www.archive.org?

Here you have the originals

https://docdro.id/vQcmsud
https://docdro.id/R8g06Fn

But there are some strange mistakes/choices.

For example:
- There are no ground or 9V pins.
- The 100uF cap is after the 1k LED resistor.
- There is only one 9v rail for all chips (ticking noise).

My Eagle files you find here:
https://www.4shared.com/file/VJjne7Etfi/UF_online.html
https://www.4shared.com/file/tsrn78oXfi/UF_online.html

The schematic is a little ugly, the layout is almost the same.
I just added some caps, a resistor between the clock chips and the audio chips, and the boss approach to correct the ticking.
I would change the 3PDT model to the same as used by solderman, since the pins in my layout are too small.

Cool, thanks a lot!

Here some pictures of my small Univibe build.


Only 11 mm diameter space around the LDRs.
The lamp was also quite long, so I drilled through the board, to gain the extra 2 mm.






I had to measure it a lot to make this fit perfectly, since it is impossible to hide a bad hole for this sliding switch.

I would tell you my initial reaction to this build, but the forum would censor 2/3 of the words. Excellent work, inside and out.

[stallik]

Mightily impressed

Well, at least you DID have words for your initial reaction . I got words for my 3rd or 4th reaction, but I'm sure the forum would ban me for 9/10 of the words .

Good Lord, man!  A through-hole Univibe in a 1590A.  Hang it up folks, we have a winner!

[italianguy63]

I think I fainted.

SO UNBELIEVABLE!!! 

I'm having trouble to put Electra distortion in this small box

You shall put bigger pictures here, there are some of us with big monitors and even bigger dioptre This kind of masterpiece really deserves to be seen it all it's glory!

[duck_arse]

I think that wins the internets for the month.

"I had to measure it a lot to make this fit perfectly ...." < that's pretty funny.

[rankot]

I was afraid that he will have 9V battery hidden behind the first PCB

[thomasha]

I also made a video of it, just to show some different settings

I'm not sure if I biased the lamp correctly, but it sounds quite intense to me.

20th build of 2018: Suhr Riot.

Hi there,

I've been reading this thread a lot the past few month and found it awesome. Here's my small contribution.

This is not a toaster !!! This is a prototype of the RunOffGroove Fetzer Valve Revisited.

I found out that we always drill holes in our enclosures, and wondered about slots. Emulating a triode is refering to valves and their strange and mysterious lightning. So I proceed some tests and ended with this prototype. I've added an orange LED and left out the footswitch, since this looks like an "always on" effect in my case.

I like the sound, but still have to work on design, let's say it's a start.

Welcome, balno!  Nice work there!
Where did you get that mesh?

[balno]

Thanks !

Mesh was bought in a local hardware store, they sold this as 'deployed metal' here in France. This mesh size is pretty big to my taste. I found the perfect size in my wife's hairdryer but, unfortunately, she caught me staring at it and I got a glance meaning "don't even think about it"... She knows me so well...

[italianguy63]

Looks like drywall/stucco mesh...
