Crystal Lettuce Dual Drive Pedal?

So while I'm waiting on my latest Tayda order to arrive so I can start on my current set of builds, I've started pre-planning for the round of builds after this one. (Because, clearly, I have a problem.) :)

Anyway, two of the PCBs in my next round of orders will be the Crystal Lettuce Black and Silver Overdrives. I have no experience with these pedals or the originals they're based on (and certainly no experience with actual Dumble amps), but as I'm plotting things out, it occurred to me that I could put both of these in a larger enclosure that could just be my "Dumble pedal" ("Dumble Door" perhaps? I'll see myself out...)

If I put them into a single enclosure, I'd probably add the order switch between them, but knowing almost nothing about these pedals other than the fact that they're overdrives, I don't know how well they'd stack in either direction. So, for those of you with more experience, would this be an interesting dual-drive, or would it just be dumb(le)?

Okay, I'm seeing myself out now... :ROFLMAO:

I built the Silver Edition a while back, for me it already could make more gain than I ever wanted just by itself. I do like it quite a bit since I modded for less gain though. In any case, the build was a nice excuse to do something outside my usual wheelhouse with the graphics. ;)
 
Go 1590DD and add in the FUMBLE boost.

Add another order switcher with the FUMBLE so it can be first or last, further saturating whatever comes immediately after it, or making whatever's before it louder.

So all the DD (did I mean the 1590 or your Dumble Door there?) combos would be:

FUMBLE > BLACK > SILVER
FUMBLE > SILVER > BLACK
BLACK > SILVER > FUMBLE
SILVER > BLACK > FUMBLE

Your ultimate Doorway to the Dumble weird uhm world.



OR...

Since Robert designs the PCBs for set drill-templates, you could drill out a individual raw enclosures, build all the circuits, shove each in their own enclosure and then try them together.

If you can't decide which you like first, but like both together you can then swap them into a 1590XX/DD enclosure (with order switcher) and re-use the individual enclosures for one of your future builds of Roberts PCBs

If you prefer one before the other, but still like them together then chuck m in that 1590XX/DD without the order switcher. Rinse repeat the individual enclosures for future builds.

On the off chance you don't like how they stack, then just leave 'm in their individual enclosures.

I like your thinking here! I've already got a Fumble, which I love, so it'd be kind of cool to see how they interact with it. Your smorgasbord of options, though, makes me remember a question that's been in the back of my head for a while. How exactly would two order switchers work between three PCBs in a single enclosure? Would you just wire them between each of the three PCBs? Would they need to be wired together in a particular way? And can you actually get all of the order options? For some reason, I just can't conceptualize it in my brain cavity. :ROFLMAO:

Yeah, what anevilspar7an said — go rotary if you want to add the ability to stick the FUMBLE in-between the SILVER and BLACK — IF you've got the space!

The 2xTOGGLE ORDER-SWITCHERs may not be able to insert the FUMBLE betwixt the SILVER & BLACK, but is an acceptable compromise when space inside the enclosure is at a premium.

Here you go...

Post in thread 'SWITCH-CRAFT (got any creative uses of switches?)'

The number of times I've blathered on about 2 x Order-Switchers, and given the numerous permutations of order-switchers I've made diagrams for — I was sure I must've previously draughted a diagram for the double order-switcher concept.

Apparently not, despite my addled mind's assertions I had...


Here you go, folks, mix up your A-B-Cs with your 1-2-3s!

So if you're doing a combo build, just sub in the PCBs for the send-return jackage above.

You could swap things around and have A&B revolving around C, too. Maybe I'll draught that next... BRB...



OKAY, here's the CBA...
