I finally built a couple of successful 1590a pedals.  My first attempt, a Smoothie, works fine but needs to be rehoused.  It keeps shorting out on the enclosure.  But these two...





Work!

Up first is a Hipster.  I used 2n4123 for Q1 and BC109 for Q2.  As discerning eyes can see, I melted my trim pot.  It still works, just not with a screwdriver.  Getting to 4.5v was a little more difficult (Fat Fingers + Tiny Enclosure = Aggravation).  The drilling is askew, but the PPP Blue Hammertone finish is exquisite.  I like this fuzz a lot.  Ultimately, I think I'm more of an overdrive kind of guy, but I seem to keep building fuzz pedals.  I've got plenty here around the house I've not posted.







This fella is a GrindCustoms Feng Drive in PPP Chocolate.  I'm surprised I got this all to fit, but learning from my mistakes with the Hipster (order of operations, wiring techniques, etc.), things worked out swimmingly.  Sounds amazing.  I love me some overdrive, and this guy really hits all the right marks.  Cleans up beautifully.  Along with my Egghead, I'm satisfied with my overdrive options (for the moment...).

Hey all.  Here's a 1776 Effects Five O'Clock Fuzz.  The enclosure is Raspberry Vein from PPP.

Couple of OC76s in there.  Sounds lovely, with lots of control over the fuzz.  The treble bleed option really adds some versatility to the pedal.  It's definitely earned a spot on my board.

My goal with this fella was clean, clean insides.  I love the way this turned out.

I'll post a demo in a few days.

had this populated for some time and decided to box her up.  This enclosure is my first attempt using alcohol inks.  Finished with Mod Podge hard coat.  Under certain light, purples and greens become more prevalent.  Sunlight washes out some of those colors.

Greetings all!

This is my first posting on the forum, though I visit the site daily.  I posted 5 or 6 builds on a different forum over a year ago, but stopped sharing my creations, due to feeling not too confident in the quality.  Well, today marks a return.  I feel really good about this fella.

A new discovery of late has reignited the passion - Alcohol inks.  The inks are a blast to use.  For a moment, the green took on a "Billion Dollar Babies" appearance, but some mixer smoothed that out.

This is a 1776 Multiplex Jr. housed in a tall enclosure.  The artwork is alcohol inks and hard coat mod podge, with Staz-On ink stamps.  










Here's a taste of some of the options the pedal can give.
