I was wondering if something like that might be the case- thanks!

I tried to encapsulate it all in the title. All the 220uf caps I have on hand are either 10v, or these clown shoe 50v ones that I’m not sure I can fit. Or, alternatively- does it need to be 220?

Your build report helped bump this up in my queue! I can definitely see it being used as an always on. It gives it a little body, tames out some of the brittle frequencies, smooths out the glassy tones yet remains bright. It doesn’t have that awkward release where it’s like your dynamics are...

I like compressors on guitar. The pump, the thump. The squish. It’s been a sort-of side quest while exploring the wide world of gain devices. So far, I’ve built the Thumb Sucker, Closed Circuit Booster Limiter, Byrdhouse, and the Median. This build became practical after the THAT2159 became...

If you never build it with the charge pump, could the electrolytic capacitors be lower than 35v?

There’s a Schutone designed M-117 that fits in a 1590A! Not sure if you can get your hands on one though. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/mxr-m-117-flanger.26887/#post-345744

I think this will help. It’s a drill template for the microsplit. You just need to put the one hole for the TRS cable on the other side for the DC jack, and possibly drill it a little smaller if you like. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/drill/1590A-MicroSplit-Passive.pdf

Dude. I’ll assume you’re not trolling for a second. Swelchy is one of the nice people here- he never picks on people. There’s a lot of nice people here. He was just giving a suggestion because it’s two three holes. You don’t have to take that as a suggestion, though I think it’s a good one. He...

MBP Pork Barrel is a Boss CE-2 that fits in a 1590B

Doesn’t have to be But srsly, awesome build!

Even then, you can use a nut on the inside to make the outie protrude less. I just ordered the Low Tide- I’m trying to remember why I didn’t opt for the mini version… Maybe for that classic memory man style layout. Anyway, great build and bird knowledge as always.

Not strictly required, but it might not be a bad idea. I’d say if needed. If you’re doing a long cable run, or you notice there’s some high-end loss, a buffer might be good.

Here’s basically what you want to do: When nothing is plugged in, the reverb out goes to the power amp. The signal to the send jack also goes to the switched tip of the return jack. When you plug a cable into the return jack, it disconnects the tip from the send, so that you get the signal...

The days of wishing are over. Now you collect all 700+ PPCBs

I did get that once- I like it too. But I think I will snazzy up this box a bit. I decided to use more DC “outie” jacks for my cold-weather builds, so that I can quickly pop out the circuit and refinish the enclosure without desoldering when it warms up again. I did not know about this one. I’m...
