Title: More 1590A Madess
Post by: dan.schumaker on October 10, 2018, 01:16:38 PM
So as you know, I have a slight 1590A addiction (Hi, my name is Dan, and I have a problem....).  So here are a few builds from my last batch of PCB deigns.  I still have a few more finished, just waiting on boxing them up.  On tap to box are another multi PT2399 delay, a program switching FV-1, Rat with clipping options, an optical tremolo and a few more.

Expanse Phaser - Ross Phaser (...phaser content, paging Jimilee...).  Three LM13700 SMD chips, controls for level, regen, speed and width.

Clairvoyant Compressor - Dyna-comp type compressor with a blend.  Thru-hole LM13700, controls for sustain, tone, volume and blend.

Omega modulator, drone, delay, reverb chorus Noise Maker - This is based on the Sentinel noise maker from DIYstompboxes.  This is a really cool little box.  Almost like a multi-effect pedal in a small form factor.  You can get really convincing Reverb tones, Chorus tones and Delay tones just by playing with the knobs.  Controls are for Drone, Width, Speed and Depth

Auroch Drive - Tube Driver like OD.  Can get really thick and tube like sounds.  Good for that later Gilmour sound.  Controls for Volume, Gain, Lo and Hi.

Curd Distortion - This is a Big Cheese in a 1590A.  There is no option for tone-stack bypass, but you still get the other three (including the swiss cheese setting.  Controls for Gain, Volume and Tone, switch between mid boost, mid scoop and gated.

Heritage OD - Based on the Lovepedal OD named after the city Heritage guitars is in now.  A very nice transparent OD.  Controls for Vol, Drive, Tone and Glass.

1484 OD - Based on the Silvertone 1484 amp and twin twelve.  Controls for Vol, Gain, Treble and Bass.

Stellar work, Dan.  I'm particularly digging that phaser layout.

Awesome work Dan. The Ross phaser is perhaps my favorite.

Wow. Very nice. I've been tempted to do more 1590A builds, but have a hard enough time with regular size.

I'm w p_wats. The planning that goes into that makes me feel like a hack.

Great work all around and impressive cramming them in there! The compressor sure looks like it was a layout challenge, too.

Good that they are "only" 1590A.... that means you only have a small problem.... ouch...
(Hi, my name is Dan, and I have a problem....).

Madness. Genius. squeezing a rubics cube into a 1590A, surface mounted...
