Post your 1590a (tiny pedals) pedalboard

Another board that meets this thread's criteria from @Johno Dunn

img_20160331_214334060-2-jpg.jpg
 
I have been directed to post here. This is obviously not wired up and/or useful currently (many pedals that do the same thing)...I will probably settle on one or two distortions, a delay, and a tuner.

I would like to pick up some Fairfield Circuitry stuff and some COG stuff.

Sir, I bow to your awesomeness.

J!

And I highly recommend the Fairfield Circuitry stuff!
 
Does anyone here have some good and representative clips of the cog 66 OD?
The video I saw on Toms site makes it sound quite distortion-y to my ear...

What's the verdict at this point and does it lose bottom with the blend all to the left?
- I don't tend to like blends and prefer pedals that don't need them. Hence the question.

A whole bunch (well... eight) 1590a DIY pedals Invalid Link Removed in the UK. They're for guitar, but a lot of us play both... and they're easy to modify.

What's super-cool about those is that there are several of their FuzzDawg sistren & brethren that COULD be 1590A if the builder is willing to "put the ship in the bottle", but Fuzz Dawg doesn't market them as being 1590A.
All the PCB suppliers seem to have a few that could probably be MacGyvered into a 1590A.

etc...
And many more from there and elsewhere...


I recken 50x30mm is the max size of a board, also depending on what the components are, the number of 9mm pots you're trying to stuff in etc... Gotta figure 'em out on a case-by-case basis.

I'm currently trying to squeeze a Invalid Link Removed [☜PDF] (35x35.6mm) into a 1590A... Might have to shave the Hammond's [☜PDF] walls a bit... the mouth of the enclosure measures 89.10 x 35mm, and on the long and the short of it you lose about 2mm at the deepest point (ie the top when it's right-side up)...

@Space Pickle what's the brand of the 'Angel wing' pedal (I can see a few more of the same brand on your board). Sorry, I've obviously not been keeping up.
 
Nothing constructive to add except that
a) these are some extremely cool boards;
and
b) the HotOnes/HoTones controversy is intriguing. I'd love to have a band fronted by a trashy female singer and call it "Jezebel and the Ho Tones"

From their FAQ:
  • How do I [sic] pronouce Hotone? Is it HO TONE, HOT ONE, or HOT TONE?
It’s pronounced HOT TONE.

I'll leave it up top for now. Going to add a COG mini 66 or a Green Bassmachine for OD and I'll be done. The triton makes up for a lot of PSU sins. :D

Sweet board!

You've got pretty much everything I want. The Fuzzolo is heap-big fun and Tritons are amazingly versatile. The pedals you're contemplating getting... again, right up my alley!

I'd definitely work on the board to get the DC-5 mounted underneath somehow.
