Show me your 1590A enclosures/pedals...

[Perrow]

Actually, there two diodes on the schem are the LEDs.  :-)

Either I'm partially blind or I thought those were yelly beans 

I'd go to the optician if I could just find the number 

I'm still giving up the bullshit verdict on the schem though

Wait I think there's still a smiley I haven't used in this post 

[pickdropper]

Keep going, I am sure you can use all the smileys.

Ok I've followed this thread all the way I have build a enclosures but they were just buffers. Long story short last night a friend gave me a box of jacks and I hit the gold mine! Tell me those aren't the perfect jacks for an a enclosure small and connected couldn't take less space if there were none!

Does anyone care to share their 1590A drilling templates?

There's one HERE, courtesy of Madbean.

I never use templates. They really hinder me in getting a large circuit in a box. I use a set of digital calipers and a calculator. That way I can maximize precious space.

i use inkscape (free btw) , i use digital calipers to measure the 'face' of boxes etc , then make templates for the size of box, , import 'scaled' pots 'jacks' 'dc' led''  etc and move around till happy...and then put a 1mm dot in the centres of where pots etc go...

remove parts, leavig just dots in place....

print to size ,  cutout, stick to box, centre punch..

if etching i just use the etch ..

... and for some great templates and component art to use in Inkscape...

^+1000 i use that all the time too..

digital calipers

Pfft, everyone knows analog calipers sound better.

[peterg]

Thanks All. I haven't been able to pick up any 1590A boxes lately so I made a box out of cardboard so I could solder up a few harnesses for boards I made. Hopefully they will work in the real boxes when I get them.

Yeah, I find the dial mechanism to be much warmer sounding.  :-p

My first 1590A build pedal build! I've done things like a Road Rage in a 1590A before, but this is the first real pedal! Now, it pales compared to some 1590As I've seen in this place, but it's a start. It's a 1-knob Fuzz Face with Germanium OC141s.

I love the multi-colored shrink tubing on the transistor leads... both functional & artistic 

[rockhorst]

It's just left overs from stripped wires not heat shrink

My vision of "little angel"
So, chorus is not too deep, i made it one knob. Another idea was to use no wire.

yet another black russian big muff

[peterg]

gena_p1 - your work is amazing!

[Havaden]

Can anyone post a pic of a flashing knob like this one without the knob itself?
Im coming up with my 2nd 1590a build, a tremolo. and need to see how this flashing knob is done

Really starting to respect your amazing building skills after my first 1590a build, 3rd build in total
You guys are really inspiring

and need to see how this flashing knob is done

I'm guessing it's a pot with a built-in LED.. I've been looking for them, but haven't found a supplier yet.
