D*A*M Meathead vero

I've been on a vero kick lately and decided that I wanted to find a use for some 1590a enclosures that I have laying around.

I found a group of 1-knob fuzzes that included a Meathead and figured that was perfect. So far I have loved all the D*A*M stuff that I've built.

Recommended transistors are BC107 or 108s. All I have on hand are 108c's which all had hfes that tested in the high 500s.

The pedal is pretty aggressive as built but I dig it. I'll spend some more time with it in the next few days.

As an aside, the 1590a is so hard to build in. I'm 6'4" and have giant mitts for hands. Once I'm done with these few enclosures, I'm done with 1590a builds!

If anyone has other 1590a vero builds, let me know! I have four more enclosures.

+1 for the Ack ah pool Co
I'd also add a Master Volume ...
Or an input-attenuator to it. It can be a bit unruly with just the one knob, but without getting it to where you want it to be fuzz-wise in line with volume-needs.
 
Oh, and a few more suggestions on things to cram into 1590A...
