What should i do with this 1590G enclosure?

[Bricksnbeatles]

What a clean boost! I think you mightve inspired me to make one but in an even smaller enclosure i dont know that the actual size is but i know they look "square" maybe build it in that? I think thatll be a nice compliment to my strat and blues jr

Thanks for the kind words! I've had good luck with Aliexpress for the 1590LB boxes. I think I got 10/$20 shipped last year, and they're super solid.

I was actually thinking about picking some of these up at the LMS sale. I got all these cool little Moonn boards gifted to me from @DGWVI. Don’t want to use a full 1599B on them. Big question is whether or not I can hack some top jacks onto it.

I’d go with a 1590G2 if I was trying for top jacks.

I've got a vero Arrows circuit in a small plastic enclosure that I ended up liking a ton for its size. Toggle instead of stomp, banana for scale.

I'm planning on doing a proper build report on this, but I recently got this old 1590g out and put in a hybrid One Knob Fuzz. Plenty of room in there! ECHO. . . . . . . . echo . . . . . . . . . . . . . . echo!!

lol, just another small build, bazz fuss. When I'm stressed at work I tend to make small circuits for a quick break.

What's the G2? A little taller?

What's the G2? A little taller?

Same height as a 1590B roughly. The regular 1590G has like 20mm of internal depth, while the G2 is around 1/4” deeper

There are crappy enclosures.

- excess flashing not removed
- poorly fitting lids
- poor threads for lid screws (and/or poor screws)
- poor alloy that is brittle/ doesn’t machine (drill) well

I’m sure if I thought about it for a spell longer I could think of a couple more experiences…

Definitely plenty of crappy enclosures, but the 1590Gs and 1590LBs on AliExpress are great in my experience

I fit the El Sol into a 1590G2. See this forum post...

Only things I've been able to fit into a 1590G so far have been a General Guitar Gadgets MXR Headphone Amp and a GuitarPCB Zenith Mini (which is pretty nice, to be honest).
