Favorite 1590XX builds

I’m an aging Gen X’er, and found build inspiration from the new MXR Rockman pedal. I did a 2-in-1 with the Rock Star Distortion and the Cepheid Chorus, and it does the Tom Scholz sound pretty well. I A/B’ed it with my X100 from the 80s, and it’s remarkably close to the original

My "ZombiVibe" ElectroVibe barely fits in a 1590XX because the incandescent bulb

@mkstewartesq what reverb would you use if you had to do it over?

I would probably go with the Spacialist. It looks to just have a ton of different usable bread -and-butter reverbs.

I can second this about the Spatialist, it’s definitely utilitarian,

Plus 1 on the Spacialist! I also advocate for the "Deflector Reverb" as an add-after to the Spacialist for its lush & ambient soundscapes.

I've been considering picking up one of the new X100's.

I picked up a 1590xx to try stuff with and ended up using it as a dual pedal build with an Aion Blueshift and a PPCB Electrovibe Mini. I was originally thinking of a standalone mini board but a looper enclosure might be better for that. Here are a couple pics
