Title: My First 1590A Build
Post by: Bufferz on May 15, 2014, 02:50:05 PM

Figured I'd share my first 1590a build - I can see how people get addicted to these little builds. This is a Bazz Fuzz with bias control - I'm really happy how this turned out (other than the blem enclosure because i got all excied with a razor blade and the off-center logo which I will blame on ADHD)

Thanks man - Those external DC jacks sure are Ugly, but wow do they make a difference on something like this.

Congarts man! 1590A Builds are not easy, no matter how small the board.

I really like the colours you chose for the enclosure and knobs. Good job on the inside too!

Verah nice! Crammin' it all in there with style.

A tip I've learned here on the forum recently and worth mentioning is that you can use the ugly white washers you get with 3PDT to shim the "outie" DC jacks.

That's awesome. They are addicting to build. I'm sure you will have more in no time.

And yes I think I will build another one of these fuzzes (since PCBs come in 3's) and I just finished the PCB design for my next 1590a project - COT50 style boost / OD...gonna do black with gold logo, clear knob and white LED - for those familiar with the COT50 - any mods i should consider other than diodes / input cap toggles?

One would never guess from looking at it that it is your first 1590a!
I have built just one. It was challenging, but fired up right away, which kinda' surprised me! Lol
