It's not an exciting effect, but I wonder how some boards like these might go down?

Save a lot of time building those 1590B effects and it'd give a nice professional look to go with the fabbed PCBs.
So polarity protection, power filtering, DC Jack, Battery Pads, In & Out Jacks, Input ground Footswitch, LED & its resistor.
The parts are fairly standardized I think...
Might be on my own with this one though.
Great idea...love it...but lining up those holes might be an issue.

One fixed printable drilling template and you'd be fine though.
Plus a circular file can always be used to adjust holes if necessary.
I would be all over that board. I already use 3PDT boards when I can, and, now that so many of the Madbean boards are being fabbed for a 1590B layout, something like that would be huge.
I'd be in on something like this. Do you think Ice-9 would share the files needed to get some fabbed?

he is willing to share but he used a program called Altium Designer if anyone is familiar with it.
I've never heard of it, but that doesn't mean much. Don't you usually need Gerber files to get boards fabbed?
I looked it up. it's some fancy stuff. $5,000 for the software. ouch.

This is pretty much a go for me. I finally got around to stuffing the (revised) board I had made some time ago and it checks out. I did not do dedicated spots for filtering and polarity protection, but took a different approach. The empty side opposite the DC jack has about 30 perf holes with a 9v and ground pad, and one extra output pad with the standard I/O stuff. So, different types of filtering can be applied (for instance if you like to use a series resistor with your 9v supply).
Anyway, I'll drop it into my next build after I work up a good drilling template for the 1590B.
Very nice. I really like your design.
Sweet
This would cut down a lot of time on off board wiring for smaller builds! Love it!

Will you be producing these in other sizes (125b) or just the 1590b?
