One of the Best Overdrives I have ever Done

[Jimihendrix1987]

Based in the Tube Boob project made by Juan Solo and guided by Cleggy ! I Hope you Like it 

It is a very nice sounding Boost / overdrive which everyone would fall in love with (I think it's far better than Tubescreamers and derivates)

A pair of gut shots



As you can see I'm using some mojo components (Carbon Comp Resistors, TAD caps (Mullard Mustard Repro), NOS Sylvania 12bh7A, switchcraft Jacks, Alpha Pots, NOS PIO Russian 1uF CAP)



Its sound is amazing... Only thing I have to watch out is that Valve on the top... I think its a quite fragile pedal  Not for touring (at least, not this design)

I hope you like it

Thanks Cleggy. Thanks JuanSolo !!

Dang thats cool! 
What volts you getting from the RR board?  You running it off the same 9v supply as other pedals, or is it too mA hungry? I like the Tube holder thing on the top, looks sweet.

Cool. Nice job.

nice! what's the floor noise like? i've heard some p2p stuff is noisier and some is quieter than PCB or vero equivalent.

Awesome! That's officially the second boobtube out there (I need to get around to making another for Cleggy, I felt sorry for him so he's got mine at the moment).

I've made a lot of valve pedals on vero, my boobtube is also P2P and it's a lot quieter noise wise. It's also the best of the lot sonically too.

Yes ! This lil' beast is totally quiet, well grounded and P2P !!

That's so awesome! I spent an hours this morning looking this project and the valvecaster after seeing your build. What are you doing for the power supply? I see the roadrage so are you putting 12V in and getting 23V out?

Yup. 12v to the heaters, 23v to the plates (15v to the buffer via a reg on the RR board). Versitile little board that.

So what sort of current is it drawing?  I'm toying with these tube pedals, just wondering what the chances of running them off my normal 9V pedal psu are, say with another charge pump to raise it to 12V first.

Probably around 200mA,  heaters are 150mA, so another 50 for the plates, charge pump, buffer (if used), seems reasonable.

Awesome point to point construction Ignacio!!
