Title: DigDug2 squeezed into 1590BB
Post by: gordo on February 15, 2016, 06:21:31 PM
I shoe horned this one in just because I was too lazy to buy the tall version of the box.  I'm going thru a second wave of sparkle obsession and it bit me because I didn't shoot enough clear coat before the decals to smooth it out and it ate a few areas of the decal. If it wasn't for my stash I'd have redone it but as long as I can read the labels...

Stock except for the external Filter and Rez knobs.  I'm glad I put them on the outside as I fiddle with them a lot.  Lumberg jacks to the rescue (I love these things).  This one fired up on the first go around. I had to grind the lip off the inside of the bottom cover above the jacks but other than that just a bit of careful measuring.

I honestly have no idea what I'll use this for, but it's a fascinating effect and I've been monkeying with it for some time now.

I knew it was possible! That is so awesome. I am just not a fan of the tall enclosures and really wanted to make this happen also. Great job!

It is one hell of a clean build. Inside and out.

(Blush), thanks guys.  I closed it up last night by snapping off the areas of the lip on the lid above the in/out jacks.  The metal used in the current wave of enclosures is such garbage that it made it a breeze to just use a pair of pliers and snap off the areas and minor clean up with a file.  Hit the edges with a bit of paint to match the sides and it's done.

Then sat at the bench and played it for an hour.  It's a bit addictive.

I did with mine. No problem at all. With mine, one of the rotaries (I think I used a 1P4T for the 2P4T) was a little lower than the other so i fixed them to the enclosure and then soldered them in to get it level

Lol. Anyone who builds something like that is far from lazy!
A very inspiring meticulous build, man.

Thanks again guys, but no....laziness is the mother of invention. This coming from a guy that hates 1590A builds but appreciates the real estate savings on my board.
