Finally finished up my complete pedal board filled with my 1590A 1+1 pedals.  This started earlier this year with the layout for the Micro Chorus and I just expanded on that and said "I wonder if I could make a whole board with just one knob (and one switch) pedals."  And here is the result of that...

Board itself is made out of finger jointed mahogany, with strips of dual-lock to hold everything in place.

All pedals have soft touch relay bypass.  Signal chain is:
I/O box
Siphon Envelope Filter (Micro V)
Medium Compressor (Dyna-Comp)
Swine Boost (Rangemaster)
Muscle OD (Dumble-like OD)
Straight Jacket OD (Marshall-like OD)
Spook Distortion (One-knob Big Muff)
Elevation Fuzz (Kay F-1 Fuzz)
Superstition Boost (One-knob Klon)
Muzzle Noise Gate (MXR Noise Gate)
MV-68 Vibe (Uni-vibe)
Rock Bottom Phaser (Small Stone)
Spectator Chorus (Micro Chorus)
Jormungandr Delay (One-knob Delay)
Reverb_1 Reverb (One-knob FV-1 Reverb)
Epicenter Tremolo (One-knob Tremolo)

That looks amazing. How about noise ratio? Since there is a lot pedals in line..

So neat too, your a one-knob kinda guy then

I wouldn't say I'm a total one-knob guy, I just wanted the challenge to see if I could make a functional pedalboard with one-knob pedals.

No noise, its really quiet.  Even the gain pedals are really quiet stacked together, the noise gate isn't really needed...

you are a madman Dan!

So you have all 1 knob, and if I'm not mistaken you easily have a board of 1590a 4 knob pedals (maybe thrice over by now). What is next?

Yep, next in line is a board of 4-Knob 1590A's.  I have them all lined up ready to go, just need to make the board and wire them up!

Super cool!  I like how the pedal board matches your amp.

That build is impressive. Very clean and professional. I think if I really had a choice, I would want no knobs. Once I find the sound I want, I don't feel the need to obsessively tweak. A wah is about the only thing that needs adjustment on the fly IMO.

The two pedals with the knob and switch reversed are driving me crazy... ;)

But seriously - what dedication. I'm seriously impressed, especially giving the soft touch bypass. Who's did you use?

I knew somebody would mention the two that are off, it does kind of bother me too  ;D

The relay bypass is based off the Coda Effects bypass, and it works really good!
