Build Reports / Boomstick in 1590bb with FX Loop
April 15, 2011, 05:20:13 PM
Hello, first post here.  Would normally post this at FSB, but the site is down at the moment (scary).  I am setting up my first pedalboard, a Gator Pedal Tote with the G-Bus-8, a compact board, so space is an issue.  I have a Aquaboy/Echo Base in one 1590DD enclosure that I am wrapping up today that I'd like to be able to have on an FX loop so I can turn both on and off at once without hitting both individual 3pdt's, so I put that in the extra space of the 1590BB that the boomstick is in to save space and 6" cables etc.  Would've been a tighter fit with a battery, so I went the, "dc jack only" route.  I built this over the past 3 nights after the wife and kids were asleep, so the pots are a little out of alignment and the lead dress isn't as tight as it could be, but it all worked on the first shot and sounds great!  Graphics and font are bleary-eyed-way-past-midnight-sharpie on a Smallbear bananna yellow powdercoat 2nd's enclosure.  Green knobs are for extra school spirit!  Go Rough Riders!  Props to Madbean for getting such a useful distortion out of a small PCB layout.  A pleasure to work with these fabbed boards.
