Title: Violet Ram's Head
Post by: pickdropper on June 13, 2018, 07:26:06 AM
I decided to redo the layout for my mini muff board.  I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out.  The first build i did with it is a miniature Violet Ram's Head.

That is stunning. Above and beyond your usual level of work!

Love the layout; it's a work of art in itself! What are you going to... do with it? 🙂

Where do you get your white PCBs fabricated?

Hot! I love the white PCB too, makes me think of nougat. (Must be hungry?)
Cool font on the enclosure, what's it called?  😊

Amazing!

Dave, have you considered starting pedal company and cashing in your talents?  ;D

I don't remember.  I'll check when I get home.

Good lord that beautiful! So clean.

That might be the cleanest build I've ever seen. Maybe you're hiding a rat's nest of wires under the pcb?

Shut it down folks. We've hit peak clean 1590a.

There are definitely wires underneath the PCB.  I prefer not to board mount pots in 1590a builds. 

I use a lot of ribbon cable to keep it clean.  This is an older build.  It's not nearly as clean as I do it these days (I have an improved footswitch board that's cleaner).

I'll take a new photo next time I wire up a 1590a

Amazing work. So clean, I'd eat off it. What ribbon cable do you use and where do you get it from?

Oh, maaan... your 1590A builds are always amazing!

Have you ever thought of using a pot helper on these boards?  I've done one that has helped my 1590A builds immensely.

I can shoot one over to you if you want to try it out.

I use Amphenol Spectra-Strip.  It's available by the foot from Mouser.

I've designed a couple but haven't bothered to order boards yet.  I'm planning on doing it shortly, but these ones are spaced for multis, not 1590A.

You'll need to photoshop that to make it a bit less perfect. It's just not real like this...
