Sea Flea

So, I was looking through some old build reports, and Pickdropper's 1590A Sea Urchin caught my eye. He described his as "industrial soldering robot time". I decided to build a through-hole component version, just to see if I could.





Yep. I could. I used MB's schematic for this one. Only one problem with the board, missing 4n7 cap, so I used a ceramic one I had lying around. It took longer to box this up than it did the Chasm reverb (although the reverb took far, far, far longer to debug.) Yes, the IC's are socketed  I used MLCC caps in some places for the space advantage, as well as low profile electrolytic caps (the 47uF ones are from Chrome )

Good sounding delay. Compared to the Cavedweller, it's VERY clean. Oh, and the 3pdt switches from Smallbear come with these funky nuts that are twice as tall as normal ones, so they look more like collars.

Nice job fitting all that in there, Alan.

/always a fan of 1590a builds.

Beaut build! nice layout effort too on that one.
The deep blue is a really tasty delay. Sold the one I made but it was a worthy pedal.

Man, you know I gotta build it. Does it require the jumper on the pt2399 like the etched one does? I bet the answer is in the build doc isn't  it??

Now that's an impressive achievement. Love the name, too.

Thanks for sharing this Alan. Just ordered some boards.

[muddyfox]

Just ordered a set as well. If someone wants a board (especially EU folks) lemme know.
Thanks Alan!

[jimilee]

Are you overseas? (Dumb question) I'm in if shipping isn't more expensive than me just ordering it myself.

[muddyfox]

PMed...

One board for Jimilee, one left...

Sorry for the dredge, but I need to point out that the resistor and capacitor numbering is NOT as per the Sea Urchin schematic and BOM (that's what I get for rushing...), so you WILL need the bom zipfile I shared earlier in the thread

[muddyfox]

I was actually gonna follow your BOM anyways but good to know. Thanks!
