Fender Blender
I ran into a little of that ship-in-a-bottle nonsense stuffing this Fender Blender clone into the enclosure. I went a size bigger, too. This PCB is designed to go into a 1590B and I used a 125B, which is a tiny bit taller and a smidge wider. I tend to use oversize capacitors, though, and they were bumping into everything. Nice that I recently bought a solder sucker, 'cause I had to replace a couple of them with smaller caps.
Although, Elna has these low-profile caps that I've been using lately here and there. Like, if they're 5mm spacing the height will also be 5mm. Squat little buggers, but they seem to be nice quality pieces. That's what I used for the caps I replaced. I guess I should start using those more often, since I run into space issues fairly frequently when I'm not using one of my giant enclosures.
Anyway, it's a very interesting circuit. The, "Blend" part of the name comes from the ability to blend some clean signal back into the fuzz sound. It's a very interesting kind of octave-fuzz-death-ray.
