It's been a while since I've posted a Build Report, so here it goes. It's a ZenDrive clone done for a friend. Used the AD712 chip in this one. Sounds really good. As usual, I wish the guts/wiring was cleaner, but I'll get there someday.

He asked that I install the Cusack TBS-2 into this. First time using one of those. It's nice.

White LEDs are my new favorite and I'm probably going to start putting them into everything that I build :)

Hopefully I'll be finishing up another one tonight/tomorrow and can post that as well.

This looks sweet! Guts look good, i wouldn't worry too much ;)

A friend asked me to build him a zen drive today actually, bizarrely enough! was gonna have a go at cramming one in a 1590A. you wouldn't happen to have an eagle file for this would you? Or is it the serendipity layout?

This looks awesome--I recently did my first pedal with the granny smith sparkle and love it. I also love the white LEDs. I used on my Cosmo, but now I realize they look great with the granny smith too.

Thanks! This is my own layout. I don't think it would fit in a 1590A though.

Yeah, Granny Smith Sparkle is a great color. Thanks for the kind words!

would it be possible to have a copy of the eagle file, i could try giving the layout a re-jiggle?

I have a 1590 perfboard layout if you want it. It's in the perfboard library. It could pretty easily be converted to an etch.

Grind Customs has a Zen board that fits in a 1590A, too. He's posted a couple build reports with them. E-mail him and see if he'll part with one.

How would you convert the perf in to an etch?

I use the Cusack boards in a lot of my stuff. They're great! I've only done one or two of the ones that are attached to the switch like that... I think it's actually easier to fit the separated ones in tight spaces.

Yeah, I think it would be way easier to use the separate board. The friend inbuilt this for already had this one and sent it to me to include in this build. They are great.

Man, I like that a lot.
