Cupcake compressor

[m-Kresol]

Good evening folks,
this is my first 1590A build. Now that I finished, I want to do another 1590A. Really saves some space. But how some of you manage to put 4 pots in there is still a mystery to me. This board is rather small and the lumberg jacks aren't the big ones either, but it's really a challenge to do everything on such a close space.

I decided to not use any labels this time as it's only volume and the enclosure is a standard black Hammond one. Instead I used a big ass jewel (red 8mm LED under there) and a transparent chicken head. IMHO, it fits together really nice.

You had to put that giant bezel into a 1590A now haven't you? Craziness. Looking great!
I still like that compressor a lot.

Nice Better be careful or you'll wind up like me and do the odd 1590A build just for the challenge!

cool build, especially the bezel. OS's are pretty subtle, I like to think of them as sort of compressing preamps.

dats a giant bezel
nice job man starting my first 1590A build soon too

since theres no pcb mount pot, how did you mount the pcb? or is it just stable because of the small enclosure?
(just curious)

I used a 9mm pot and attached some longer pieces of solid core wires to make it pot mounted. The lower side of the pcb rests on the plastic of the lumberg jack. I had to desolder the socket for the 4558 to make it fit, which was a pain in the **, but it works now and that's all that matters ^^
