Mercurial Boost in a tiny enclosure

Hi, I've built a number of circuits designed to fit underneath my mini pedalboard as part of a modular loop setup. This one is the Mercurial Boost which I use as a late-chain EQ.

I have a micro loop switcher on top of the board that activates the loops mounted beneath. As I only have about 32mm clearance, I have used a 1590Q enclosure for this one with a toggle switch to disable/enable within the loop. I've used an internal trimpot in place of the gain pot which I wouldn't need to adjust once dialed in. The only slightly tricky part was soldering the dual-gang 9mm pot to the board.

The other effects are in either 1590LB for standalone circuits or 1590B for dual circuits. So far I have a Tentacle (1590LB), Tremelo/reverb combo (1590B) and a Klon buffer (1590LB). I'm building a few more modules to swap in and out so looking for any other great compact PCBs to use.

One of my favorite boards, configured in a package I’ve never considered. I’d love to see photos of the mini board too!
