Better late than never. :D Board is according to 125B type enclosures but this will fit also in 1590B/1290NS housing. Omitted the loops section though. And BTW, this layout uses 3 dual opamps. Enjoy!.

Hmmm..that's odd..But hey, JOK3RX, I remember you asked me long time ago to do a smaller board layout on this circuit. Well, I hope this will do for you dude.. 8)

BTW, what's the correct values for R9 and R19?

What type of switch is used for pre/post loop positioning? 2p4t slide switch?

Built this using my layout. Aggressive heavy sharp/tight sound compared to your regular hi gain build which has a smooth/round tone. I'm using 9V supply only with two TLC2272 in the first and second stage and LF353 in the end(tried fitting a KIA4558 too which has I think a more mid-dy tone).

Hey Dime! Just built this up using your layout and recommended chips...... kicks ass!
Didn't need the gate switch, because I decided to make the gate control external. Real glad you designed this for a 125-b, my favorite box.
Thanks for sharing your layout!
fuck smooth tone, fuck eric johnson - Seiche

You mean kinda like this one? :twisted:

Don't know about smooth and round sounding :scratch: This one is pretty damn nasty! I had boards made from this one and it has even more balls than the real one I thought and played them side by side! There are little * signs on the components for the notch that make the difference between the TM and the TR. You can populate those with whatever you like...

26 pages, nope not kidding thanks. the diode gate was something peavey has used before, he seemed
to make a big deal out of having the tight control, but the comments from builds don't make it interesting to me,
glad you pointed it out.
