Sounds great! I just built another Lamprey yesterday and Running it at 15V with a  road rage for a rebuild of my multi-FET distortion box and it's really special.


I'm really coming around to the idea that 9V is just too low a voltage for guitar effects.


If you boost the voltage on the Muff circuit, you'll need to rebias it at the higher voltage, which goes for non-Mu JFET configurations, too.

Good to know on rebiasing those two circuits. How do I go about doing that?

The Lamprey doesn't need to be rebiased. I believe the resistor on the emitter of the Muff will need to be changed, but I don't know enough about biasing BJTs to give good advice on that one.

That enclosure is super cool, and you picked some awesome circuits together.
