1590 Drill

The black Magic MkII is a fuzz pedal circuit based on the classic Tone Bender MkII. It includes an onboard voltage inverter to allow powering from a single power supply. Modifications were made to the power section to reduce noise and add reverse polarity protection. The PCB layout allows mounting pots and other components inside a 1590A enclosure, though it requires careful planning and drilling. Instructions are provided on bending terminals to fit jacks and modifying components as needed for the compact layout. Schematics, PCB layouts, and drilling templates are included.

Notes:
The black Magic MKii is a modern take on the classic sola sound tone bender mkii
fuzz. An onboard voltage inverter has been added in front of the circuit to allow the
user the option to power it along with their other pedals using a one-spot (tm) style
power supply. The power section has also been modified to filter out unwanted
noise and to provide reverse polarity protection.
This PCB was designed for right angle 9mm alpha potentiometers and a 1590a
enclosure. The idea was to allow the builder the option of PCB mounting the pots in
a 1590a!
Although it takes some planning and careful drilling it can be
accomplished by an experienced builder. There is a drill template at the end of this
build doc that should work (Ive used it myself). I would still recommend that the
builder take it slowly and verify before drilling. One small mistake can have large
consequences down the line!
The first obstacle is fitting the 1/4 inch jacks between the PCB and the footswitch. I
am in the process of trying some new jacks, but as of date, I have only made this
work with standard open frame mono jacks. Simply bend the solder terminals 90
degrees as pictured below and you should not have any issues. Do not attempt to
make it perfect. The more you bend, the weaker the metal becomes. Im a bit of a
perfectionist and had to learn the hard way!

Another obstacle is fitting the 9vdc jack at the top of the enclosure. There are two
ways I have discovered to make this work. First, you can simply bend the terminals
on the DC jack (pictured above). This will easily work if you use a small DC jack such
as the lumbergs found here. The other option would be to mount the electrolytic
caps on the bottom side of the PCB between the 9mm PCB mounted jacks (pictured
below). I personally like this choice more as It makes for a cleaner build! If you go
this route I would need to use low profile electrolytic caps like these.

The final requirement for the 1590aPCB mount build is to cut off both metal tabs on
the bottom side of the potentiometers (pictured below). A sharp pair of dikes will
easily cut the tabs but it is even easier to bend the tabs back and forth until they
snap off.
The led indicator is also included on this pcb along with a current limiting resistor
(labeled clr on the pcb). The sw pad at the bottom of the pcb connects to 3pdt
footswitch lug that you would normally connect to the led cathode. If you do not
plan to mount your led to the PCB you can just leave off the clr and wire an led as
normal.
