Yeah, I'd be interested to see the rest of it. Is it . I wonder how much voltage the tube sees.Administrator of the SDUGF

I would guess it's running in starved mode, don't really see anything in there that would suggest high voltage, including a lack of ventilation.

I heard Brian Wampler taking about how lots of pedals with tubes don't really utilize the tube like an amp would. Is this what you guys are implying?“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary Holt

Improvements In staging, imaging and noise floor (Dead silent operation)
High gain bypassed operation.
Adjustable 100v-250v B+ voltage from a 11.5vdc-14.4vdc power source.
1 gain potentiometer FR 10Hz-100KHz@ +_1 db Noise: .003vrms
Input impedance: 24k Output impedance: 580ohm
Sensitivity (Max input before clipping @1khz): 5vpp - 1.77vrms
Produces gain way past that point.
Not a starved tube, just a preamp that overdrives the front end of my 8020. Put it into a power amp and couldn't overdrive with Gus G's through an SFX-01.

Cool, like I said, I was guessing. So you can adjust the B+ for different amounts of dirt/gain, pretty cool. Is this a custom design of yours or something that is on the market?
I didn't follow your last sentence though, not sure what you were trying to say about Gus G and a SFX-01???

The Gus G and p'up booster thing was to see if I could overdrive the preamp, like a headroom test...haven't found the ceiling yet.
It is a very cool gizmo.

I like cool things like this. I never would have thought of it. Kind of like Blackmore's AIWA tape deck as a preamp, or Steve Howe's Echoplex Groupmaster as one.Administrator of the SDUGF
