Hi guys!
This is my version of the great Crunch Box with the Presence/Cut pot and the Clipping Toggle to switch between 2 LED (Classic Marshall-Style) and 4 germanium 1N34A (too similar to the LED, I think I'll change them to 3 1N914)
Here you can find my layout, it's really easy to put it in a 1590A!

I like its vowel-like voicing so much, it seems to bloom in every bending I do!  8)

Great job!  Those knobs look familiar.  :-)

I haven't built this circuit.  What do you think of the sound?

Here's a demo of the original Crunch Box with the Presence trimmer inside, but I prefer to have it outside because it acts really well with the Tone pot.
Ah... this is my first choice for soloing! Is soooo FAT!  8)

Thank you! Now I can say I'm just addicted to 1590As! I'm redrawing all my layouts to fit well in 1590As! :D

Yes, they're the addiction within the addiction. :)
Spud knows tone!
