Built this for a guitarist friend for his 40th.  Its one of my Facemaster (tone control, bias control, charge pump on board, etc) pcb's in 1590a.  Forgot how tight 1590a's really are.  I felt like a microsurgeon for a while there.  Transistors are Russian P30's but ive told him we can change them out to whatever transistors he would like to choose from my "library" :)

Excellent present! Always a fan of something hand made vs something from Amazon. One of these days I'll be confident enough to start stuffing 1590's.

Great stuff, I especially like the hand drawn graphics
I build pedals to hide my lousy playing.

Really love personalised one offs for mates. New thread?
That is really neat work for a 1590A. My equivalent wiring would match my bikini line!
Take it easy,

I always love that blue powdercoat you use!  :)

I think I still have about 900grams of a 1kg bag left :D
It really benefits from a quick enclosure sanding before applying, it gives the pedal an anodized look and looks much cleaner.  I also chuck a little flick in the mixture as well for some extra "pizzazz" :D

Awesome, Paul! What a nice present! Great looks inside and out. I'm shure your mate will love it to bits!
