Suzy's Tight Club pedal. This was a fun one. We got chatting about doing a Tight Metal and discovered I had a couple of boards left. One thing led to another and I decided that the rudimentary gate on it was a bit pants and it'd be awesome with a real noise gate wedged into the circuit (I'll put details on the site how we've done that).
Anyhow, if that wasn't challenging enough, we also decided to put it in a tiny box, because, well, because. This is a 1590BS... A 1cm taller 1590B!
The pic with the two boards isn't how I ended up wiring it in the end as we needed to move the gate further up the circuit from where the original was. But it's in, it works and it makes it utterly awesome.
Really, really pleased with how this turned out. Decal was Suzy's idea also. Which is cool and I'm using this on mine also (yep, the other board is getting the same treatment for me).

WTF?
Crammage.
And who is Suzy?
Facebook person, I C&P'd the text because I'm lazy ;)
I'm not sure, but it's possible you are totally insane.
I take that as a compliment. Sanity is so mainstream...
Great stuff! epic pcb stacking
Daaaaamn. Great job! 8)

Absolutely. It was intended as a compliment.

Wow!
Maybe its been done before and I just missed it, but I have never seen that slick method of securing/hovering one over the other, the way you did that!

-I was unaware of these, but will remember them for a taller enclosure with a 1590b footprint.

Yeah, I would imagine so!
The buss solid core wire is awesome. Thats a great match up also.. its only way to crack the TM and not have the soothing sound of the sea coming out your amp.

Super cool!
Wow, that is intense. Great job!
Now that is some impressive stackage. :o
Awesome!! You are a true master.
This also reminded me that I should read that Fight Club sequel that came out recently.
If those were stacked any neater, you'd have to pour syrup on them and call them pancakes. Flawless execution.
Mmmm, A delicious high gain and compressor sandwich! Great build man the decal came out killer.
Another flawless victory.
So where can we read about your gate adventures?

The first rule of Tight Club is that we don't talk about the gate... ;)
FWIW, as I never got around to updating the website about this...
Completely unintentional cool feature discovered... So switch down (mids normal rather than scooped), gain all the way down, vol at about unity, pretty Tone and Mischief (tight) somewhere in the middle. Then turn the gate up until it mutes the initial pick attack... Insta volume swells! Pisses all over a Boss SG-1 at it also! Stick a delay and reverb behind it to make it nice and lush. Totally not what you expect to get out of a metal pedal at all :)

Almost as nice as a new duvet.
Tight like a Tiger. Great guts, graphics and theme. As usual :)

Nah... my cat refuses to sleep on duvets, so I lose my leg warmer at night with those.
Juan, any chance you could do an ugly wiring job to make us mortals feel a bit better about ourselves? ;) ;)
Some of my early stuff is ugly...
But I suspect I've become so set in my ways now that anything I turn out will look the same.
Damn, dude. That's nuts!
