Just finished up this jewel. Got to hurry up and get this post finished so I can get back to playing with it. Osh Park board in a Pedal Parts Plus Pewter Vein 1590BB, I think the Chicken Heads are from Small Bear as are most of the other parts. Trannies are a pair of 2N1304s (Hfe around 80 and 95) in Q1 and Q2 and an AC130 (Hfe 125) in Q3 - no idea what the leakage is but they must be about right. Sweet spot with the bias between gritty treble and flabby bass is right at 7.43 v.

Nice clean build. Love the level control markers!
Looks great! 8) It makes me happy to see someone put the layout to good use.
Clean!
Nice build, this thing still my favorite dirt
since a while now.

I spy with my little eye, countersinking :)
Nice work!
Why is it that fuzzes tend to make people do the 1590BB / two knob thing?

Alan,
I already have Jon's outstanding 1590A version of the MK II (Black Magic) and I felt a need for something a little easier on my eyes. Jon's BoM says this one is designed for slanted enclosures that were floating around a couple years ago that seem to be rare now. From a sound perspective this one really only needs two knobs (actually five and a switch if you count the way it interacts with my Strat) and the BB box allows the sound to fully mature before it goes out ;)

Yeah, this was actually a project I put together for MitchP for the slanted enclosures MacWalker sells over at Diystomboxes but with the 1590BB in mind as well. I think he does sell an updated version of the slanted enclosures but I'm not positive. Good catch with the countersunk LED Alan. I'm a huge fan of countersinking. Total eye candy!
It's a good thing you didn't paint it green, you might not ever be allowed to touch it
