What up guys,
My H&K TubeFactor has been my main go to overdrive due to its stunning pure tube tone.
However, it's bulky size and Factor 1/2 with arbitrary volume really bugged me.

So... Extreme Pedal Makeover!! :D

The 1590D was made for this pedal.
Used a 4pdt switch to give it 2 channels.

Kind regards,

Super neat job buddy. I recently rehoused a danelectro chicken salad. Rehousing is the way forward!
good work man.
Rehousing is really fun, except when you pull a crappy trace on a board....
I like the way your rehouse looks much better than the original! :)
Anyone know how to put graphics on a black enclosure?
There are many methods, so it depends on what sort of look you are hoping for.
I might suggest ink stamping with white Staz-on ink.

Nice rehouse job!
My last rehouse was for my Radial ABY switcher........added buffers and other shizzle to it...
This is killer. Tube Factor is a great pedal! Nicely done.
Very cool. The tube factor is indeed a nice sounding pedal and your rehouse looks very nice.
