SunLion & Sunking II

[Tdub]

First, the Sunking. I didn't realise how little margin for error drilling a 1590BB has for the Sunking II but we managed to get it in there with a little light remedial work.

Had an issue where the 422k and 392k resistors weren't working but one that got sorted, we were away. What a great sounding circuit! I put little slider switchers on the board so I could set and forget.





Second, the Sunlion. This ended up being a total mission to fit all the stuff in due to having a pre-drilled case that didn't put the jacks low enough. I had to remove the nice PCB mounted pots and wire them in. I had a Madbean Rangemaster board but I decided to go against using it as the new version a) wouldn't fit, b) used a BS250 that I can't source anywhere, and c) I already had the charge pump on the Mangler PCB. I used a three way on-off-on switch for the Rangemaster input and used a terminal strip layout as devised by RG Keen. It's all a whole lot less tidier that I'd like; it's a bit of a spaghetti junction but it works and it sounds good so all's well.

Hi Tdub.  Fantastic job on both of these projects.  I really love the Sunking. It's never easy to drill those holes exactly where you want them.  Really impressive.
