Miniaturization at it's best! Man, you kick some serious a$$. That is truly awesome!

how is the board with the trimpots held in place?

also, mouser stocks those trimpots but I can't find a source for the shafts.  What source did you use?

THANKS!

Hi
The board is fastened to the inside of the box and the top of the IC:s with double sided tape.
Here you can find is the shafts.

My first attempt to do a "burst" and I think it came out quite OK

so that's what a bust box is! we were getting confused for a little while there...

;)

awesome job... it's already been said, but you are crazy in the best way.

Hi
Well.....
You need to install and load it in to the "DIY layout creator" application to make any use of it. You will links to the application in the top thread of this forum.

Thanks!!!! Finally I can open this kind of file!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
But now I have some questions:
-in the layoun of the Seekwah part 1 LFO ver2 the IC1 have two lugs disconnect...it's normal???
-I don't understand how I can connect the part 1 to the part 2... :icon_redface: :icon_redface: :icon_redface:
-I think that the red strip is for +9v ( one for part 1 and one for part 2...right?) but I don't understand the function of the green stripp (maybe for connect the two parts...i hope...)
Sorry for all of these questions but I'm new in the art of diy :icon_redface: :icon_redface: :icon_redface:
and sorry for my bad english :icon_rolleyes:
Thanks again

P.S. It's possible to control the speed by a TAP TEMPO like cusack music?

I think it would be convenient control the seekwha with an external control pugged to an appropriate jack that bypass the speed pot...
Tell me what you think about!

Lug 11&12 is NC (not connected) you have to read the schematics to understand

-I don't understand how I can connect the part 1 to the part 2...
From the pad at LED D11 on the LFO to the pad between C1 and C2 on the audio part both circuits must have a common ground.

-I think that the red strip is for +9v Correct ( one for part 1 and one for part 2...right?) but I don't understand the function of the green stripp (maybe for connect the two parts...i hope...)
It's the GND (ground or – or 0V)

No problem. To help and spread knowledge is the whole idée of this forum

P.S. It's possible to control the speed by a TAP TEMPO like cusack music?
Yes but that won't work as is. You need to search the forum and you will find the awnser. Burt it will not fit in a 1590A

I think it would be convenient control the seekwha with an external control pugged to an appropriate jack that bypass the speed pot...

Yes good idée. move the speed pot to a Wha Wha cradle enclosure

Awesome pictorial, solderman!  I am just about to finish my third pedal and it has taken me forever.  What I thought was going to be a simple
clean build turned out really messy and was hard to fit in my box.  At least it works!  It was nice to see your organized steps in pictures and is
inspiring, Thanks!
