Show me your 1590A enclosures/pedals...

[nicofx]

Well we could help with the issue...
If you post the link correctly!

oups.. sorry. Fixed now! 

[artifus]

have you tried a small resistor in series with the troublesome pot?

Thanks I have to try that.. but for now I'm too lazy to rip it up and start debugging 
I may put it up on the breadboard later trying to refine it..

Hi all, I've only recently started building pedals myself - at this point I'm still cheating and just populating PCBs made by others. Here is a simple 1590A build I have done. It's just a dual latching amp switch (with 2 colour LEDs... hence all the wires). My next 1590A build, currently in progress, is a distiortion. I'll post pics when that's done...

Your golden cable makes it look really cool!

I just have to say, this thread is one of my favorite things ever.

Here's my latest build. I put it in the pictures thread to help get to 1000, but it belongs here:


(Rangemaster derivative w/ input stage and a couple "mojo lite" components)

Some other recent 1590A builds:


(Rangemaster w/ tone knob on a Madbean board)



(Madbean Lavache)

Multiple Madbean Babyboards on the way .... and a PTP/perfboard mini orange squeezer (which is going to be very sad about not having a box for a while.)

alright. i'm still newish to the 1590A


someone told me they like they boost recovery section in my optical tremolo. i had a board i made that did just that (not with a 1590A in mind though). and I had some enclosures but they were pre-drilled for a different purpose... still came together with a bit of difficulty. had to chop the casing for the pot to make room. if it didn't fire up first time i would have been screwed!

Here is my contribution (it is an amp)!

[Perrow]

You there, we're gonna need a better gut shot than that!

Here it is

Here's a few of my 1590a efforts:

Dying battery simulator with voltmeter



and the guts...



and an earlier version...



072 buffer



LDR volume pedal



Volume cutter (like a solo booster)



Reversable Killswitch



I love 1590A sized pedals, you can fit a lot in them if you plan well!

[nicofx]

  that is so cool!!!!

[Earthscum]

TAKE THAT, IMPEDANCE!!!   
I love it!

072 buffer

[Earthscum]

TCA: Is that mosfet? I like the simplicity of it. How loud is it compared to , say, a 386 amp?

You really need better guts shots of that thing...

Madbean Hipster and Afterlife. Cavedweller and a mini orange squeezer on the bench ...

[gena_p1]

ragingben - cool idea!


This is final version of 1590A small clone

[deadastronaut]

^ very cool, is it smd?....

resistors are SMD mf, all other - with pins. film capacitors, etc.
First version had a single sided pcb, so if you interested,  - pm me.

That PCB is a fantastic piece of engineering/art.
