This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping.  Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening.  1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

The Audition Box

This is a second box meant to make sure that once something is wired up, that it actually works in a new context. A practice amp would work just as well, but sometimes that's not always available in the middle of the night when other members of the household are sleeping. Unit consists of a 1590BB enclosure with both Cab Sim and Amp PCBs inside. Function requires a signal in to feed into the cab sim, after which it would go to the headphone amp for volume and then to signal out jack for listening. 1/4" and 1/8" jacks to accommodate both plugs for whichever headphone and associated plug is available.

      • Polarity Select Toggle
      • Colored LED polarity indicator and LED voltage display
      • Headphone Out
      • Multiple Probes for Pedal Building: Power In, Signal In, Power Out, Signal Out,
      • Toggled instrument / Signal generated test tone
      • Signal Listen Probe (to capture listenable test signal anywhere on the PCB that's being assembled)
    • Second Enclosure (1590BFL) Flanged to attach to the cutting board
      • Assembled Tiny Tester PCB (JMK PCBs)
      • Signal Send Probe (to inject test signal anywhere on the PCB that's being assembled)
