Mike's Mayhem Machine & a MDMA Drive Mini

Mayhem Machine
True bypass looper with a Feedback loop.
Literally endless fun. 





MDMA Mini
Highly recommended.

They both look really nice, especially the second one. You gotta love 1590A builds crammed up with awesome effects.
Is the first one a A/B switch kind of looper or a record/play kind of looper. since I don't see a pcb in there it should be the first, but from your text I'd think it's the other one. Also, I don't get what the feedback knob would do with the first. Officially confused

[Guitarmageddon]

It's a true bypass looper, enabling you to activate several effects at once, keep noisy or tone sucking effects out of your signal path, or just keep your signal path short.
The second switch activates a feedback loop, literally feeding the output back into the input. Depending on the effects in the loop, it can work like a resonance control with phasers or flangers or create oscillation with dirt boxes. The oscillation is tuneable with your guitar tone and volume controls and the pot on the pedal.

Thanks for the explanation. Now that you explained it, I feel like I should have known in the first place..

Nice builds, Ben.

Man, that 1590a is tight, I'm taking that hardware layout!

Cod man, you willing to share your drill template for this? I am very impressed with how perfect it all lays out.

Well, to tell you the truth, I have none.
I just lay them out free-hand, each and every enclosure I've drilled. I first line the parts up on the boxes, eyeball a bit, then put drill marks on with a sharpie...

That's quite impressive actually. I can't even drill lined up with a template...

16mm pots and standard jacks in a 1590a!?  I shudder to think...

[Guitarmageddon]

Must be that Aussie do what you can with what you got thing...
A pair of 16mm fit side by side... just, not with those dust caps on tho. If you drill the shaft holes a mil or so oversize, you get the wriggle room required.
I prefer open frame jacks too. Placing the jacks high, with the board below, adds fuel to the 1590A Hater complaint of "Oh Dude, they're just so unstable when I jump on them."
Though I'll concede this happily for the super complex MB projects.
The other well worn one; " it's just too small for my size (insert exaggerated penile dimension compensary shoe size) feet ...well, the stomp switch is the same, be it a 1590DDD or a 1590A.
