+1, the Supreaux Deux is fantastic.

Thanks a lot for the nice comments. I built the Albini-spec box. I'm using the middle setting, so I thought it was bypassing both the germaniun & the BAT41s I'm using? I better look at the schematic again.

The pig is my neighborhood pig ... in Barcelona in September, there's a big festival in which the main attraction are firework-spewing animals that people run after in heavy canvas suits so as to not get burnt to a crisp. NOT UL-approved, I'm telling you!!

Fun, fun build - I like the normal sound the best & use it as an overdrive with teeth. "Por culo" in spanish is a great catch-all that kinda means "By the skin of your teeth" but literally translates as "Up the ass". Those Spaniards. "Porc" in Catalan is pig, so ...

Thanks to Brian & the forum for the help!

I haven't got much time in on it yet (I finished it late last night & my wife & neighbors have issues with my tendency to turn anything that sounds good up too loud), but initially ... not a tube amp, but not really like other SS amps either. The Supreaux II pedal is really dynamic, and doesn't sound like anything else IMHO. Also the elliptical speaker gives the sound a character that your normal 8" or 10" speaker wouldn't have.

It is what I had set out to make - an practice amp that reminds me more of the old Silvertone I had years ago than a newer SS or modeling amp.

Needless to say, I'm looking at old suitcases in a different way these days!! 

Sorry, this link should work:

Hey all,
I finally finished my little practice amp project, which proudly includes a mighty RoadRage to power the Supreaux Deux front end at 18V. The build thread is here:

Thanks to all for the help - and build yourself a Supreaux, Shawnee! :-)

No worries at all, Shawnee - I'm learning a ton, & nothing's gone up in smoke yet.

I did finish the Supreaux Deux today FTM mounted in an enclosure until I finish the amp case. I'm using an 18V power supply for now. It's GREAT, the ROG guys captured a lot of what makes those amps special. 

Ah, shoot. I was going by what Shawnee had said, but I should have just taken them out of the socket instead of clipping them off anyway like I did.

Hi all, I'm struggling towards the finish with this project (free time being what it is).

I've got the RR made. I'm using an LT1054 with pins 1 & 8 clipped off. The regulator is a 78L18.

To test it, I'm feeding it 9V, as the 11V feed isn't ready yet. I am connecting DC to the +9V & G1 connections.

I'm not clear where I should take my output from, but when I measure either at ~18V or +RV, I'm getting 7.9V

1) Where will I take the output from to feed the ROG pedal?
2) Am I getting 7.9V because I'm feeding it only 9V instead of 11V?

Thanks! 

Hey Shawnee, many thanks for the response & the answers I needed.

I'll definitely let you know how it goes - I'm excited about not only building a "budget Supro", but about the Supreaux Deux pedal itself. John Lyons at Basic Audio knocked out a pair of the PCBs for me at a nice price, so one will go in the amp & the other I'll make as a stompbox.

Hi guys, yet another RR question. My first post.

I'm going to use it to power a ROG Supreaux Deux (http://www.runoffgroove.com/sd.html). It will be the front end to a Tiny Giant amp-based combo I'm building (http://musicpcb.com/pcbs/tiny-giant-amp/). The TG can supply 11V, so rather than adding an extra 18V power supply into the amp, is there a way I can
instead use the extra 11V the Tiny Giant supplies to feed the Road Rage & get 18V out? Could I for instance use this regulator? http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/ON-Semiconductor/MC78L18ABPG/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMug9GoBKXZ752YXO9pvfwzmPm%2fAMlkbq%2fc%3d

Thanks in advance,
Bruce
