Title: A mini-multi - 5150
Post by: juansolo on January 16, 2015, 07:09:06 PM
I was thinking this might be tight when I decided to put it into a Camden Boss small box (they're shorter and more shallow than a 1590B, fractionally wider though), well tight is an understatement. The gutshot is genuinely as far as you can open the box and when it's together there is no wiggle room at all in anything. Not a sausage.

In there is a Grind Customs Octane (formally Inline8), a very 80's sounding distortion, with a Script Phase 90 clone. The I8 is actually my old 1590A rehoused and the P90 is one of Pickdroppers 1590A boards also.

I get asked about the light tent a bit and I've started assembling new lights for it (long story as to why this is being such a ball-ache) and they're still missing some reflectors that I'm going to have to get. But here you go, a table top light tent and a couple of lamps.

Tight is an understatement...

The jacks fit between the pots so tightly that they don't need bolt on them and all three (two pots and one jack) had to go in in one go for them to get in there. Wiring occurred later.

Madly the Inline 8 is pot mounted on the level pot with just fits underneath the two stomp boards.

The jacks have their pins bent flat and the P90 sort of sits in the gap. The caps just clear the path of the in plug, one of the caps is pressed against the I8's IC, and everything was made ultra low profile to fit in the gaps available.

It had to be built in stages and tested as it went along as it's pretty much impossible to take apart now. I may have gone too far with this one... ;)

Tighter than a nun's....
...well uh nevermind.   ;D

That is seriously some great wiring there!  Love the decal and layout as well.

My that's tight! Surprised you didn't try to get a plate reverb in there as well. I bet it sounds good.

Nice to see that your lights are working.

Nice seeing your photo setup. Your pedals always pop off the screen, it's not only your eye catching designs but the quality of the photos themselves. Great looking pedal and great photos!

Love it, Love it, Love it.   You should have stuck a lump of coal in there....you'd have a diamond by next week.   ;D
Beautiful artwork and mad skills putting this together.  I like your photo set up as well.  Cheers.

Steve.

FWIW I consider a 125B to be cheating ;)

I consider a 1590B as a fair contender  ;)

That is a crazy circuit sandwich in there. Thanks also for sharing your photo setup, I was always wondering how you did the great looking product shots.

All that you need to do now is make it on a double sided SMD board and fit it in a 1590A  :o :
Seriously good work getting in there, you must have the patience of a saint! I'd probably put the soldering iron through the window haha.

I think there are people here for whom the SMT 1590A version would be a doddle and look amazing.


Just not sure how you're make both stomps stompable though ;)
