Ibanez DL-5 rehoused for destroyerjazz. Twas an interesting project. Had to take about a 1/8th off the pcb, and some good planning to get everything in there.
The obvious first one is for Psyre.

Oh cool, I'm about to rehouse a fat sandwich for oldangelmidnight. It's a little daunting as I have to remove board mounted jacks and 6 9mm pots. Gonna have to do that one sober.
I love the first one too. I need something like that to try shit out on loud amps at rehearsal spaces. Neighbors are tired of my prototyping sounds!
Where you live in TX? I grew up in Bryan/College Station...

Nice! I assume to get one of your stellar etch jobs

Your biggest friend with all the board mounted stuff is de-soldering braid. Kind of expensive for what it is, but that stuff helps A LOT.
Those breadboard pedals are so convenient! I want to make a giant one eventually.
I lived in Abilene for a little bit of highschool but moved to Austin. Stayed there for 6 years I think, but now I'm back in Abilene. Crazy that you grew up in CS!
Ps. Whats happenin' with that fat sandwich enclosure when you're done

graphic fuzz! yes I did make one of those 6 months ago. I designed a mod to stop it from whistling but I put it on a switch so I can get my whistle on. posted it on diy stomp at the time. the big difference is that my 3 part fuzz is a comparator centered at 0v. the graphic fuzz is a high gain thing. both of them are dc coupled and biased at 0v.

Very cool! I like the idea of the whistle switch, haha. I need to sit down an trace the pictures of the original graphic so I can build one. The only schematic I've found was incorrect.

Yea, CS is a strange place. My dad is a professor at A&M. I go see my folks once or twice or year. That place is getting knarly, lots and lots of crime.
I live in Austin from 92' to 2002. It's so strange there now. It's fun to visit but then sometimes it feels like it's more LA than LA and I live in LA so that makes it not so good. Texas is a strange beast, in general. Don't want to move back but may when the folks get old.
Yea, gonna start desoldering with my braid and a pump today. I feel calm and relax so it should go ok, fingers crossed. Not sure what's gonna happen with that box, yet. If he doesn't want it, its yours...

I'm in Orange County about 40 miles from Silverlake
I don't have a car right now but I'm buying one. If you wanna meet up after I get a car I wouldn't mind driving up there
How cool would it be to collaborate on a build?

1590B on the Ibanez? Damn. I have two Soundtanks to rehouse. Good to know about the fit issues in advance.

That's actually a 125bb! Pretty much a tall 1590bb. It
might fit in a 1590bb, but not without a headache &/or clever planning. Could have luck if you set up the enclosure horizontally. Also, be sure to get a normally open momentary switch for the bypass. A normal switch will require stomping twice to turn on/off

Ah, I meant 1590bb, but I think you worked from what I meant anyhow. And thanks for the reminder on the switching -- that stuff is weird if you rarely mess with it and just go Taiwan blue all the time.
