That’s gorgeous, Steve, and I couldn’t agree more about how this particular dual combo nails that perfect vintage sound. One of Barry’s absolute best IMHO.
That is the digital chip (Belton BTDR-2H) that makes the reverb possible. So it is essential for the circuit to function. Here’s a link to a possible supplier:
Nice build. Reminds me to unearth my own GBOF board and investigate the various options for mayhem available.
Noted, Barry. Sorry to obsess so much about the enclosure: of course the sound is what matters 😉
I like its versatility insofar as changing the compressor/preamp order gives you plenty of squash or more open with compressor first. The Dumbletone is great for subtle (or not so subtle) drive and plenty of toan variation from fat clean to wide-ranging overdrive but the wide variety of tones from the combination of the two gives you pretty much anything you need toan-wise.
Thanks, Billy. I used one Lumberg and press ganged the other jack in, more by brute force than judgement.
Well, I eventually managed to fit this all in as originally hoped for. I had to re-drill the jack holes and do quite a bit of intense fiddling, so now the box is an unholy mess.
Two points to note: 1) these are robust, high-quality boards, considering the amount of manhandling they stood up to and 2) please avoid doing what I did (trying to shoehorn a 1590BBS-designed build into a 1590BB enclosure).
Note to self: It’s not what it’s designed for.
I’m tempted to give myself 100 lines on this topic but you all get the point, I trust.
