Real estate on my looping board is tight and I wanna play slide more. That is all.
Thank you for suggesting a bitchin project for me to build :)

David at http://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/search/label/1590a has some newer 1590A layouts ready for etch. Barbershop would be a nice little dirt pedal for slide.

Hm, from the demo on the site looks like barershop is not very gainy?

how about the small Muff boards? THcustoms and Brian have them, there's also some 1590A boards from pickdropper including a Klon iirc.
Then there's of course the new series of 1590G projects
I build pedals to hide my lousy playing.

My projects are labeled Quantum Effects. My shared OSH park projects: https://oshpark.com/profiles/m-Kresol

Hm, muffs kill all the attack from the notes so in other words they are too compressed for me. No muffs! :)

For my electric Slide Guitar, I use my Klone and Slow Loris Rat set at lowish gain.
I usually just pull them off my board and use them seperately because my pedal board won't fit under my slide guitar stand.

I seem to remember that the zendrive with LEDs as clippers gave a pretty cool and raunchy sound, maybe that would fit the bill nicely. Thanks guys, will report once I build something and slide it into my playing.

Kalamazoo might be good for slide as well

A Bosstone is pretty popular with steel players, and is a simple enough circuit to be 1590-able:

Yeah I heard somebody say that the Bosstone is good for slide, I've never built one, what would be a good known schem/layout that some of you guys have built in the past?

I used the perf layout I found over at Fuzz Central because it was a pretty compact layout. Sounded good but I don't have a real Bosstone to compare it with.  Not sure if it's 100% accurate since there are several versions, would probably be worth checking the layout against known schematics.
