EHX Metal Muff

Gaffled1
I have never seen a vero of this, probably because the pedal is cheap.  I owned one and liked it but it is just way to big for one distortion box.  I'd like to build it and get it into a smaller enclosure.  I'd also like to get rid of the useless boost switch and knob.  It is way to complicated for me to try and make a vero.  Below is the thread about it and supposedly a factory schematic.

Well. The micro metal muff is yours for about 50dollars. It got a single tone-knob, no topboost and is smaller sized. I would be REALLY impressed if someone build a metal muff on vero and is able to put it in anything smaller than a 1590BB. I really like the charm with diy, but sometimes it´s hard to make it worth it..

the thing is the micro metal muff doesn't seem to sound the same as the full sized one.  A 1590bb would be a way better size than the 1790ns it's in now.  I think the 3 band eq is why I like the big one.

Ok. I´l try to do a layout to fit a 1590bb per the schematic you posted.

I have a different link for what I'm guessing is the same schematic and picture of the board linked above...

I would also love a layout for this one.  The best of all the chip based high gain pedals in my opinion.  So underrated. I wouldn't mind building one without the top boost (which isn't entirely useless but could be better) and/or tinkering with some other values mainly.

Thanks!

TBH it's not worth the time and effort to make a layout for. They can be bought for very little money. I've got one and snagged it for $35, and can be found fairly often as cheap. So I wouldn't really expect a layout for that reason in particular.
