I'm with you bud! The help on here is like no other! These guys are top notch and good people. Always quick to lend a hand!

I recommend these for 1590A builds. I've only done a few but any space in the enclosure saved is good. Good luck man, and don't let this thing get the best of you! It can be very frustrating!

Just a side note. If you are ordering the 9mm pots from Tayda don't get the cheap ones. Look close at them, there is no mounting nut or threads. I made this mistake once and now have half a dozen useless pots.

You want these ones...or similar from another supplier.

I usually get these an put a 2x3 piece of vero on them then wire it up.

I use this guy. My wife's sister "borrowed" it form the robotics lab at her collage. It is my current workhorse. Think i might need to replace the tip soon tho. I did use it for my first build, GGG tuned Big Muff

I would absolutely grab one of these. I just finished a MB Smoothie and love it! Next is a Phase 90 then i might attempt a Phase 100 if GGG still has some boards when i'm ready.

This is Fantastic!!! I love the simplicity of the art. Also, DAMN!, you know how to cram a pedal in a 1590A! That's impressive. Where is that board from? would like to possibly grab one?

Hey Guys,
     Looking for some help/advice. So I decided to build a zombie chorus...against my better judgement. I'm having some issues getting it going. I'm getting dry on and off but there is barely any modulation coming through. When I turn the rate pot there is an effect but not when it is stationary. I've tried 5 different MN3007 chips and 3 different CD4046BE chips too. I also put a new set of TL072 s in there. I also tried cutting a new strip board too. This thing is starting to drive me nuts. I did order a Pork Barrel and started populating it but i still want to get this going to. Here are the voltages and a picture of the layout I used.
