Who makes a small Chorus or Flanger PCB?

[falco_femoralis]

I want to make a chorus or flanger into a 1590b, preferably horizontal. Who has a PCB small enough to go in one of these?

Thread 'MBP Touchstone (EHX Small Clone Chorus)'

Dec 19, 2022

Continuing to work down my backlog of drilled & painted enclosures.
I've actually had this one ready to go for a couple of weeks but somehow it kept getting pushed to the back of the pile.

I grabbed this board during the last big MBP sale and before @fig gifted the GPCB Mini-Me Chorus board, which is the same circuit.

The GPCB version has the option to use the V3207 BBD which was what I used in that build. I thought it would be interesting to build this one which only has the option for an MN3007 to see if there was any difference.

Somehow it felt like the MBP version had...

@bean does the newer version of the Touchstone fit physically in a 1590b?

MBP Pork Barrel is a Boss CE-2 that fits in a 1590B

It does not. Should be possible with 1/8W resistors and a 4-layer board but I chose not to go that route.

I’ve got a Pork Barrel PCB that I can give you. I’ll PM you.

Sorry dude, I didn't realize that @bean did a new layout for the Touchstone. I love mine and would build it in a 125b if I had to.

GuitarPCB has their "Mini-Me" (modified EHX Small Clone clone) that fits handily into a 1590B. I even add a mod to the ones I build and still works well in a 1590B.

I might try that one. Their website layout is a huge turn off for me. Why do all the boards say "best" in the titles? Which one really is the best?

Meh. That's just Barry's marketing. If you go with the Mini-Me, ping me and I'll post a modified schematic and some pics for the mod(s).

The web site is annoying but I've built several guitarpcb offerings and they've all been solid.

I'll put in a good word for GuitarPCB. You might notice a similarity in the NostalgiTone series and my PCB layout style

Plus, my website is way more frigging annoying than his.

Another option is to stick a 1590A-PCB into its larger brethren's 1590B-sized enclosure.

See if Dan @ Schu-Tone has any boards to suit.

I dunno, I really like the simplicity of it. It's a question of how much work you want to put into a site, and how much pain a salivating PCB junkie will endure to get their fix.

Bean's is laid out nicely. The only confusing thing is that the "Standard Series" is separate from the rest of the effects. Navigating GPCB feels like the whole site is a pop up ad for itself

There’s a Schutone designed M-117 that fits in a 1590A! Not sure if you can get your hands on one though.
