Need a hand starting out!

[halfahead]

Hey guys!

I'm a complete beginner with pedal builds. I've got a few spare 1590a enclosures laying around and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some kits that would fit. I'm specifically after a compressor, chorus and maybe a phaser. UK based please.

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure there's anything out there that fits all of your criteria, but check out the "Baby Boards" here

The Afterlife is a 1590A compressor and the Smoothie is a 1590A Phase 45

It's not really advisable to do a 1590A build for your first project but if you measure carefully you should be fine

I think it will be hard to fit chorus or phasers in a 1590A enclosure.

I have no experience with this site, but they have some 1590a friendly kits:

But none of the effects you're looking for unfortunately (in that size)

I've told you my opinion, 1590A's were made for Super Hardon's

Still on my way back home going cross country on my honeymoon, for those that didn't know yet, lol, but a good builds for the 1590a:

1 - Anything Electra distortion based, including the germanium giant
2 - Si fuzzface
3 - one knob fuzz
4 - em drive
5 - any small booster, lpb, hard on, picasso, JHS bomb, etc

Congratulations, Rocket.

I would suggest a Rangemaster or a Brian May booster. The Purple Plexi is pretty small as well. In fact, I think we just had a thread about small builds.

With a 1590a, chances are a beginner will not measure the holes right if the build is any bigger than the circuits just mentioned - and then you have wasted an enclosure (I know, I have been there). It really has to be drilled just right to work.

I got a Harmonic Percolator in a 1590A
