Title: Little A/B Switch in a 1590a
Post by: irmcdermott on January 10, 2011, 03:16:37 AM
SO... nothing big here, but a build is a build, right? It's actually my first 1590a build. I had to build it in quite a hurry to get out to a friend and I don't think my last coat of clear coat fully cured and and the finish got a little messed up when I covered it with blue painters tape before putting it together. Since I was building this for someone else, I may have gone a little overboard with the heat shrink, but better to be safe than sorry i suppose :)

To redeem myself on the poor finish on this one.... Here is this pedals big brother, which is the Baja Silent Selector (from FSB) minus the Y portion. Unfortunately I forgot to snap a gut shot before I sent it out. I built this pair for a friend who manages/runs sound for a band called Photoside Cafe. They have a member who plays violin and guitar, and also switches between two amps. So I built the Silent Selector for him to switch between his amps and the little guy so he can switch between his guitar and violin, because he was doing a lot of unplugging and plugging in amps and instruments on stage.

Nice work! I like the practicality of them both and the military-type font looks awesome.  ;)

That switch on the channel selector looks like the ones Lovepedal use...is it the one Cusack makes?

Thanks! The switch on the channel selector is the SPST "soft touch" switch from smallbear.

Do they make 3PDT "soft touch" switches? If so, where can I get them?
