It fits in a 1590B altough its a tight fit. I arranged everything horizontal and placed the LED on the other side of the switch.

FYI, Craig Anderton first used a 4049 for distortion back in the 80's(might have even been before that). It was published in Guitar Player mag. EH also had a hot tubes pedal using the same technique. I adapted this idea for a dist pedal in the late 80's. Just saying the idea of using 4049 chips for dist has been around for a long time before I ever heard of Blackstone's rehash. Gary
