Great work man! Nice and tidy.

Thanks guys! And thanks Jon for the homework/explanation of how the JFET works. I thought I saw some Bazz Fuss in there.

Do you have a template for TMJs in a 1590B?

I don't have a template per say. Just some notes written down on my bench. The dimensions I use kinda vary based on the enclosure manufacturer. I'll copy notes and post it here when I get home.

Before the Holidays I grabbed a used EQD Bellows off eBay. Great sounding dirt box on both guitar and bass, plus soft touch relay switching. Of course before I even plugged it in I cracked it open and took a peak in side. Not too long after I was able to trace it (ignoring the PIC-based relay bypass circuitry). Here's the schematic:



The JFET threw me, so I breadboarded it real quick (with a J201 for the JFET) and it fired right up. I made a layout for my blog and went ahead and built it up on perf to verify it. With the original being in a 125B enclosure, I went ahead and boxed it up in a 1590B with top mounted jacks (or TMJs as Cody and I call them). Smaller footprint FTW. Wasn't feeling all that inspired for graphics, so I just spray painted it orange and painted some flames on there.







For bypass I used good ol' Millenium 2 bypassing with a DPDT (I have a bunch of those lying around).

I love it! Lana is the best!!!

What he said! Dig the AT-AT one too!

Great work, inside and out! I was totally lost in Eagle before I found JMK's tutorials. A great resource.

That looks awesome! Well done

Fantastic build. Great work!

Looks good Fred! Love that enclosure.

Really like the looks of that one. Well done

+1 to everything everyone else has said. Love that one.

Nice work man! I've had a Ziggy board populated on my bench for like 3 months and I keep forgetting about it. Glad you dig it and thanks for your kind words about the site.

Love it and my kiddos would too! Leevibe already stole what I was gonna say...

Hey, where's Perry?

I have no advise either, but I am quite jealous. Nice score, buddy. Hope you can get it up and running soon!

Great looking build! Love the MiG.

That looks awesome, Brian. Nice work!
