I just had a quick look, because I had a feeling I'd seen a shot of the inside, and here it is:

Yeah man. The 90°.. dope

I'm going to put mine in a BB -- I like the bigger boxes

Yea I get the board is turned sideways

I simply meant with top mounted jacks that had to be a tight squeeze in a 1590b(?)...and if you look, it is

I can appreciate good measuring can't I?

Top jacks are difficult in 1590Bs for me with multiple pots. I usually get the long shaft pots and then remove the dust deal, and then I use the open frame jacks from Tayda. It's 7/16" up from the edge for the centered hole, then I file the lip off the lid. Just fits.

I certainly appreciate top jacks Jero

I need to look into those square ones. I use the plastic frame stereo for expression jacks usually, but those aren't as small as the ones pictured.

I've used them once (those jacks) https://lovemyswitches.com/1-4-mono-jack-lumberg-klbm-3
and they are certainly nice for things like that. I typically just use a 125b regardless, so it's a non issue.
It always impressed me how Ryan (Dr Sci) got what he did in the Frazz and other small boxed pedals.

Yeah those are great jacks! I should order some now that BLMS is only a few hours away.. they shipped fast even from new York.

Some guys are real wizards at cramming stuff in small boxes.. I however .. am not.

I like XX boxes for stuff with multiple rotaries and more than say 4 knobs.. but I use a ton of BB boxes. I want to see a Into the Unknown in a 1590B.. hehe.

Monologue is awesome, and I don’t even like monosynths!

Ordered a batch of 3 prototype boards for my first attempt at copying a circuit for home use (Seppuku Memory Loss V4/Horizontal). I'm 90% sure I got it right. I keep cross-referencing the original, but it's such a mess in there and I've been staring at it for 2 days straight now, I just can't be bothered anymore.

Purps, just for Chank.

It's really fun, I need to figure out the sequencer more though. And get a delay/chorus pedal for it.

Paul_C wrote:*sigh* so the Magpie/Behringer has been in the UK since Monday but still hasn't arrived, and the Arcadiator was paid for on Monday but was only posted today

As a consequence I *had* to do something to cheer myself up - and all being well I shall be visited next week by the two pedals above plus a Digitech Ventura Vibe.

Which reminds me, I need to check to see what I have in the way of power for them all !

The cheap power supply + daisy chain I ordered from Amazon arrived first despite being ordered last

followed by the Arcadiator, which is a lot of fun

The Behringer is still somewhere in the UK (probably stuck in Customs) but not here

Hopefully the Ventura will ship today and turn up tomorrow.
