Title: Show me your 1590LB enclosures/pedals
Post by: adielricci on February 25, 2017, 09:11:50 AM
To start this topic, let me show you an original(ish) circuit, an overdriver/distortion/fuzz based upon the 3-Legged Dog.  The GaeBolg is really nasty.

adiel - let me be the first to ask - is the black plastic insulator I see in your wonderful pedals cut from a video cassette sleeve?

is a GaeBolg anything like a firbolg?

Duck_arse, the plastic insulator is just a plastic cover used in spiral bindings.

The GaeBolg is an ancient magic spear from the Irish mythology.  Once it entered the victim's body, it would divide itself into about 30 spikes, and could only be removed by slicing the corpse...

Adiel, not care about the old Duck, he is only envy about your rich golden color ;) He only has gilamonster cloth and poor street cats for do his pedals.

A friend asked for an A/B pedal. He is always complaining that he doesn't have enough room on his pedal board, so I did this. I think he was expecting something more in the size of a 1590B, and was pleasantly surprised when i handed him this.   
I don't know how you guys who build more complicated stuff in these LB enclosures do it. For me, figuring out where everything went was only part of it: I ended up having to also write down the ORDER that things got put in, in order to get everything in there! lol
It gave me a newfound respect for you guys who use these enclosures on a regular bases..

We could have the same conversation as from the 1590A thread: an ideal 1590LB design would be replete with items like trimpots with knobs, pots that have the guts on the outside of the enclosure, subminiature RF links between stompboxes to eliminate jacks, Polaroid-style flat batteries, flexprint circuits that you can roll up and stuff in the box, optical on-off toggle switches mounted outside the box etc.  Circuit components can be on the order of microns in size, so an LB is huge by comparison.

This is precisely the reason why I impose myself the limitation of not using any SMDs in my small builds. This is the challenge.

Using SMDs in these projects would be just like playing tennis with the net down, paraphrasing Mr. Frost...   ;)

After several failures trying to clone the MXR Noise Gate, I decided to move on.  I found the Shutup! Noise Gate, assembled it, but it produces a ticking noise when the gate opens, and a nasty delay to close.  After some modifications, I managed to overcome those problems, and added an LED gate status indicator and an optional swell effect, a Slow Gear simplified wannabe.  This is the prototype of the AQR Noise Gate.

Hi,
it is such a shame that a lot of the pictures of this thread are lost. They are very helpfull for anyone o wants to give the 1590LB a go.
So, to start I want to thank you guys and specially Cozybuilder (thanks for sharing the layout of the zombie chorus) for sharing some gut shots.

I started from the ultraflanger, which has some similarities with the zombie chorus (one opamp for the signal, one BBD, Opamp LFO...) and decided to go with the electric mistress signal path to cut some extra noise.

I used the V3207 as the BBD and based much my schematic on the design presented here:
https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=91981.0 (https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=91981.0)

To make it fit the 1590LB there was some sanding involved...
I had to sand the base of the screws to fit the pots. Another critical area were the jacks. They were much larger than they needed to be, so I sanded them a little bit. From the round shape to a more ellipsoidal shape. Here you have the final result:

Here you can see the etch. I used a rock poster for the front and back of the pedal. Since I don't sell my builds, hope there is no problem in that.
(https://i.imgur.com/Il9pZLzl.jpg?1)
(https://i.imgur.com/x7kzdCrl.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/n9NTJDXl.jpg)

Here a special look at the positioning of the parts. Critical part is finding space for the jacks, so that they are not as deep/high. The potentiometers go side by side, with the center pots turned to the side wall in a slight angle, where the 9v jack fits perfectly.
(https://i.imgur.com/CGv6Niwl.jpg)

The board is as large as the area available, so low profile components is a must. I had to solder some components on the copper side to spare some space.
(https://i.imgur.com/fsc4kfyl.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/fzbkl1rl.jpg)

I soldered the pots to one side, so that the board can go down as a lid, with the connection to the pots working as the hinge.

(https://i.imgur.com/3jhDiGnl.jpg)

I'm also working on a standard ultraflanger using the v3207, but it is way noisier than my build with the MN3007. It could be the layout, since it will also fit in a 1590LB. If you have some suggestions, it would help me box it faster.

Cheers
Thomas

Thanks guys!

If someone is interested, here is the schematic and layout I used:

(https://i.imgur.com/5F7svV6h.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/QvyH4UYh.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/LsNXYpMh.png)

I used a single sided board, so the top layer was made with some wires.

PS. I made a short video of it:
Title: Re: Show me your 1590LB enclosures/pedals
Post by: thomasha on July 02, 2019, 05:49:06 PM
Finished a small analog delay based on the economy memory man.
It was a great suggestion from Scruffie!

The schematic is basically here.
(https://sites.google.com/a/davidmorrin.com/www/_/rsrc/1424189195137/home/trouble/troubleeffects/electro-harmonix-memory-man/eh-7810/EH%207810%20schem.gif)

The changes I made were for a standard 9V power supply and the v3205 chip, without the chorus and using the v3201 as the clock.
I also used a fixed unity gain boost to overcome the volume drop of the original, now it gets louder when the blend is not exactly in the middle, what gives some interesting sounds when the first repeat is louder than the dry signal.

It's very dark sounding, but still usable. I'm using a 1M potentiometer with a resistor in parallel to achieve a max. clock frequency of 5kHz, where the clock is audible. A 250k or 300k pot would work nice and without the resistor the pot curve would not be affected.
I also used a 50k resistor instead of the trimmer for the high cut filter in the schematic, so that I have no audible whine above 7kHz. It is still usable at 6kHz though, the whine is there, but very difficult to hear.

Here are some pictures of the final result:

jesucristo mio...  :icon_redface: :o :icon_lol: This whole build kinda freaks me out a bit. Everything in it's right place, which also happens to be the right place for another component as well.

Be honest with me... are you actually a colony of ants with an EE degree?  Even the smallest human digit is of no use in that claustrophobic enclosure. Is that perfboard or did you etch the PCB? Your solder dosage restraint is admirable. I usually end up with a heaving monument to PbSn.

What chem process did you use for your enclosure etching? The details came out real nice and there is not a lot of transfer "noise".

Either way, it looks amazing and kicks me up the arse a bit to do something with my 1590LB that I bought for no reason!

I finished another one!
I started from the Dirtbag (Madbeanpedals) schematic and made my first attempt with SMD parts.

I added all the v3205 mods to the layout, to reduce distortion at 9v.
I used a homemade double sided PCB.

Then some components:

The small board is for the SA570 and the first TL072. It fits over the pots, between the enclosure wall and the input jack.

A view from inside the box:

I soldered everything like a lid, where most of the wires to the pots work like a hinge,
with the overload circuit holding the other side of the board down.

And the final result:

and a sample:


The calibration was done with a 250 Hz, 0.5 v p-p sine wave, according to the instructions of the big box DMM.

It would be a mess to make it trough hole, sadly it is not easy to find smaller through hole trimmers and caps.

Hi,

This is my first SMD design and build. It is an always-on buffer in a 1590LBB enclosure. It features two internal switches, the first one allows to choose between non-inverting and inverting buffer, the second one is a "flat"/"bright" switch, that when enabled allows to slightly recover high frequencies. Nothing fancy on the outside as I haven't decided on the design yet.

Hi, this one is the famous dr. boogei (Madbeans Chunk chunk). Due to unavailability of normal j201 I used the SMD version.
Here some pictures of the build:

Echoplex preamp. I cheated and went all SMD. The box is from Reichelt (RND 455-00853 (https://secure.reichelt.com/fi/en/aluminum-casing-27-8-x-47-4-x-47-4-mm-aluminum-rnd-455-00853-p222404.html?&nbc=1)) and is actually slightly smaller than 1590LB but looks like they no longer carry it.

I always like SMD builds, and I always like 1590LB builds, I wish I could like it twice. Looks great 8)

Oh No! I also was buying from them! It was the cheapest box I could find. Plus it is rounder on the edges. Only bad thing is that you have to make the internal screw threads yourself.

If you stack four of this stages you end up with the dr. Boogey. Considering the size of your board it probably would fit.

Hello.
I never built in a 1590LB. Do someone has a template or something to help me drill it and to place jacks and switch inside?
Thanks!
Title: Re: Show me your 1590LB enclosures/pedals
Post by: thomasha on April 26, 2021, 01:54:40 PM
Hi,
I always measure them, because sometimes they have 52mm, sometimes 48mm and when every mm counts that is a lot!

The trick is to start with the 2PDT the closest possible to one of the sides, position the jacks and only then position the pots.

Depending on the jacks you are going to use you will have to position them differently. How many pots are you going to use?

The box I'm going to buy (not so soon) will be probably 51x51, in the description of the web shop.
Probably my first circuit will be basic opamp a booster (no smd) with one knob. About 28mm x 22mm, with film box caps and low profile electrolytic caps.
I would like to include the 3PDT footswitch, there are some compact type.
The Lumberg jack seems to be pretty narrow, I could use the classic DC jack enclosed wth the external nut, but someetime I see this type I never tried.
https://www.taydaelectronics.com/hardware/dc-power/dc-power-jack-2-1mm-round-type-panel-mount-1.html
The pot will be a 9mm, of course.

The last one I boxed was not an official 1590LB, but a cheaper equivalent. It had 49x49mm and was a bit more round at the edges than the hammond one.

I normally test the position of the parts for every new build:

Thank you, this picture help me a bit. ;)
I always test the position of the parts like you're doing in the picture, too. At least with 1590A enclosure. With bigger enclosure just if there are a lot of thing inside.

I will buy a cheaper equivalent. I could but the 51x51mm, but there's another slightly bigger, 60x55, unfortunately the height is 30mm, not 32mm.
Probably I can draw a layout after I have bought one of these enclosures.

In my next order I'm going to buy my first 1590LB type enclosure for a little project.
Maybe, I would like to buy a second one to fit in it a LPB-1 circuit.
Who want to suggest to me another simple project for this small box? :D

Probably never doing another 1590LB build after this one lol. There's a thickness control on the bazz fuss side, and both the preamp and the bazz fuss can be disabled/enabled with the toggles. Knobs are from Kilo International. The PCB is a little SMD board tucked into the corner. Most of the guts are just messy offboard wiring and components.

I finished some time ago a LoFi looper based on those answering machine chips, the loophole (madbeanpedals, 2015).
I made some simplifications, such as using the master volume and recording volume only alongside a speed control for the modulation. Some changes in the switching and it works with simple SPDT switches.
More info here: Link2Changes (https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=34984.msg333588#msg333588)
