Got all of the passives except one in the same direction :) I used all ceramics for polarized cap positions, even the two 47uf's. Bat41's for the diodes but got some oa126's on the way. I made the mistake of not measuring the template i had in eagle and paid the price. As you can see in the top of the enclosure the cutouts are not deep enough which pushed the pcb down, luckily i was able to still make it fit  ::) Eagle files updated, that won't happen again. I've never used these type of jacks before didn't realize they were switching until it was wired up, next time i will have the i/o's switched to ground.

As usual crappy pic's don't do the pedals finish justice. Finished in DC texture powder coat. Embossed graphics. Aluminum knobs from smallbear. Background is actual beeswax that i use in my beekeeping adventures :)

This particular build sounds really midrangey for some reason. Maybe the carbon comp resistor tolerances?

I suspect there will be quite a few people who want to give you money, Jimmy, in exchange for one of those Shetland Centaurs  ;D

Wow mate, how the hell did you get all that in there? I just finished my first baby build, red llama and i struggled to get that in there, practice makes perfect i guess.  :) Great finish too, how do you get the design pressed into the finish.
Take it easy, Matt.

I like the finish! As admirable as it is that you got a klone into a 1590a, I think that understated finish is fanfreakingtastic.

Aw, you're killing me.

Did you make your own layout from scratch, or use (or adapt) saxoftenest's layout?

Take it easy, Matt.

3 layers of high temp vinyl stacked via registration marks. Slow powder coat cure to prevent the melting of vinyl before the powder can flow.

No, all original. Actually i copied Brians schematic. Layout is completely mine.

I've been a fan of many of your builds but I think that's my new favorite.

Mine too!

It's like all your lost pedals built a super pedal to rule the world.
