This is the second Rat build I've done but the first in a mini. It's actually for the same guy I built one for previously. This was tighter than expected as I had to wire the clipper switching on a piece of vero and mount it to the underside of the PCB. Not a whole lot of vertical space with everything packed in there.
The enclosure has quite a few dents and impressions in it. I don't know what the hell went on with this one, but that's how it was when I got it. It was my last black mini box so my buddy said it was cool to use it.
As far as the sound, it still sounds like a Rat.

I'm speechless...
How the heck do you fit all that in there, I'll never understand.
Respect.
Great build! Seriously
Man you are killin the 1590A's. I love all your builds, you execute them perfectly.

I'd kill to be able to build like that. Very impressive.
Very cool! Those little resistors are.... cute?
Seriously though, awesome work
Awesome dents and all
Love those knobs!
Stellar build, Dave. Just brilliant. And I know you don't care for the Rat circuit, so it's even more impressive to see you do it such justice.

Well, they are 1/8 watt more so than cute. But I guess I could see cute.
Great build... I love the knobs. Where do you get those (and the silver ones you often use)? When I got metal knobs from musikding once, they were freaky expensive.
How did you do the labeling?
That is so tasteful and beautiful. You make it look effortless. Which means that was a lot of work.
:o That certainly is a clean etch. The cleanest rat I've ever seen...
As usual, insanely tight, neat and well thought out. Awesome stuff dude!!

Laser accurate! ;)
Amazing!
Geeze that etch is pristine. Love the rat circuit and that build!
