Small reverbs?
There is a thread over at Madbean Forums about building a reverb in a 1590A enclosure.
I actually know of 2 options but they are not for beginners of this vast world of DIY pedals.
1776 Effects Rub-A-Dub Reverb
Jon Patton did a layout of the 1776 Effects Rub-A-Dub that fits in a 1590A but its not for the faint of heart. When I built mine I destroyed 2 1590A enclosures and broke a few tools in the process due to throwing them.
Jon’s Layout for the 1590A Rub-A-Dub
Here is his build report at Madbean Forums
I made a PCB from his vero layout and populated it. Here was the outcome.
Unfortunately I do not pictures of the finished pedal. I built it for a guy in Santa Cruz that said his board got stolen at a dive bar show…Not happy. This is the first and last time I forget to take pictures of my builds.
MOD The Deluxe Reverb
This, just like the Rub-A-Dub Reverb, is a Belton based reverb. The Storyboardist was able to build a very small layout (Just a few mm’s over the size of the brick). This build offers tails since its a buffered effect and also has a Mix & Dwell knob.
I etched and populated it tonight and it sounds great. I used a short decay Belton brick since I have a project in mind for this. I will not be putting it in a 1590A but I will be putting it with another effect in a 125B and need all the space I can get.
