Title: Bass Machine - Junk Trunk Gas Tank Combo
Post by: Bio77 on February 08, 2021, 12:56:27 AM
I've been wanting to use a powder coated 1590XX ever since Tayda started offering them.  Here is a combo of MB's Junk Trunk and Gas Tank.  I wanted these together to skip the 1/8 inch connection between the fuzz and the filter. 

The fuzz sounds cool.  The filter is a bit finicky, but there are some sweet spots.  Together they give you some synthy goodness.

That looks like they were designed to be boxed up like that!

The envelop works without the JT.  However, it's not my favorite envelope.  I wanted to build them together because of the clean feed from the JT to the filter.  I thought that was cool.

I"m putting mine into a single also, I was just curious about the logistics because of the switching jack. Thanks the info.

Hey, would you mind posting how to do the hard-wired envelope like you did?  It looks like only two wires are needed - and one is ground.  I'm assuming you just connected S to S for the ground and T to T for the signal line?  And assuming that's true, did you just use a meter to figure out which pad on the Gas Tank is ground and which is for envelope signal?  Thanks in advance :)
