Nice idea putting the trims like that.

 

[BuddytheReow]

Really slick! Love it

 

[Gordo]

Damn fine build and equally cool photos. The reflections on the inside of the chassis alone are worth the price of admission...

That looks great!

What mini pots did you use for the trimpots? I'd love to do that for a few builds.

 

[Barry]

Nice and clever trick with the trimmers!

These have been available since around 2006
The Knob is captured by a claw style and can be unclipped from the Trimmer if needed.
i used them in my Barber Small Fry Burn Unit build also.

Very cool! Thanks!

@music6000 - great job on this. Is this in a regular 1590bb or a bbm/s? Thanks

 

[JamieJ]

@music6000 - thanks. I bought a regular BB without realising so I think I will get another enclosure.

The reason for the deeper box is the Transformer sits too high using standard right angle PCB Pots & toggle switch.

I’m gonna give this a shot in a BB. I just gotta find something better to trim those pot legs down with. Great looking build!

If your not OCD about being central, Offset PCB Drill temp to the left to give you more clearance for toggle switch fitment like mine without filing edge of PCB!
I used a Dremel with Cut Off Disc to modify pot legs, Sealed pots with tape so no metal dust gets in!

OCD would get the best of me I’m afraid. What I may do is mount it the on side of enclosure somewhere. Thanks for the info!

It can probably go in between the foot switches?

Nice work! Very clean!

This is super cool. Just out of curiosity.... If I wasn't aiming to get the trims on the outside, would it be feasible to move the transformer offboard (between the foot switches) and still pack in in a regular 1590bb? SHouldn't need to shave the pot lugs down or relocate the toggle? I really like the idea of a regular depth box and I can't see 6 wires and a glob of hot glue to hold the thing down all that much in the way of extra work.... some of those larger electrolytics looks pretty tall.... maybe those need to be wired in leaning or something.

I used this build as a guide. I didn't need to file the board because I shifted the board to the right and made the pots a little angled. Moving the toggle switch does the trick!

FWIW you don't really need the transformer. I've built a few without the transformer and for the life of me can't hear any difference.

Sensational build too! Crazy good.
