Beautiful work.  Cool enclosure, too.

I can't find anything on the price, did you?

Man, that's impressive!  I have one of these boards & I don't see myself attempting to stuff it into a 1590B.

I think the enclosure is a 1590BB - it's about 4.5" x 3.5" x 1.25".  I used a blem that I had in stock that had about a dozen holes drilled in the top.  It's pretty shallow, which is why the 2 PCBs are bent at an angle.

There is no electronics-based reason for a separate signal ground.  There were 8 external connectors and I only had to make 7 internal connections!   :-[
It ties together with the power ground.

The insides are a little ugly - all those switches = lots of wires.

I had several pedals backlogged because I tore apart my old test rig and then took my time finishing my new one.  I tried to incorporate everything I thought I would need into one place.  It's got a built in test tone generator (JMK Tiny Tester), headphone amp (from TH Custom Effects) & an audio probe.  The box is mounted on an extra shelf from a closet organizer along with a breadboard.

Nice work!  Is there a phaser design you haven't built?

Doesn't look like an accident to me.  In fact, it looks pretty nice.  I am intrigued by this pedal, it will be part of my next MB order.

Hmmm.  Interesting post.  A couple of months ago I passed on a 70s Wurlitzer.  I checked with one of my keyboard playing friends and he said it wasn't worth the trouble of moving it.  I was thinking of playing it, not dismantling it.

I've got 3 that I'm actively working on.

GuitarPCB Industrial fuzz.  Tested it last night, now I need to design a layout & box it.
1776 Multiplex with Modulation.  Tested a couple of weeks back, completed the layout, need to start drilling the enclosure.
Madbean's Harbinger One.  Soldering components done, need to wire it up and test it.

Not sure how much I'll actually get done this weekend.  I also want to figure out what should be next.
