Tayda or Stompboxparts, depending on what I need.

I have a dozen or so lying around that I'm unlikely to do anything with, they're yours to grab next time you're in the neighborhood. Maybe I'll finally actually invite you over for a screenprinting day over the holiday break if you're around :p

A moot point when pots are being mounted on a pickguard rather than rear-mounted through the wood, which is why I've only done tube preamp builds into P and J basses.

The power plane is a split plane with a HV section and a 9V section. I can pull a picture when I get home and show which is which, I'm in the bleachers at a swim meet right now

Oh weird, I was pretty sure I had the artwork file set up properly, I'll take a look. I wonder if they don't like the order. It would need to be printed gray -> white -> black and it looks like they printed it white -> gray -> black. And good note about the extra cap on the BOM. I have a BOM...

I mean I could build you a Steddi Go and ship it to Australia, I still send things down there from time to time. Let me know if the other options don't pan out and we can figure something out for you.

Agreed with @jwin615 there, if you use a film cap instead of a tantalum then it will not affect the pedal working or not. If our hypothetical friend wanted to post some pictures of this hypothetical build I'm sure the sharp people on this forum would be happy to take a look and see if anything...

Sendcutsend absolutely can. They quoted me $171 a piece.

I mean at that point I just open my own machine shop and do it all myself. So if that's considered "bringing american manufacturing back", sure.

I'm looking at getting some custom machined aluminum pieces for a project I'm working on. Apparently Chinese aluminum is still subject to 100% tariffs, meaning my $25 parts cost $50 a piece from China. I told myself surely there was a domestic supplier that could beat that on a simple aluminum...

My personal opinion is that a variable passive HPF will not be incredibly useful as you're still dealing with a rolloff of 6dB/octave. You'll get much better results with an active filter like the Fdeck (my personal favorite) or Broughton.

They are not completely separate circuits, if you look at the schematic in the build doc you'll see that both outputs use the first tube as the "core preamp", then the signal for the XLR output goes out through a transformer and the signal for the 1/4" output goes out through a white cathode...

I agree with Tassie here, if you don't need the 1/4" output I would recommend leaving out the second tube. Is it possible to turn Nobelium into a tube overdrive? Sure, but that isn't what Nobelium was designed for and it doesn't lend itself particularly well to overdrive. I consider Nobelium to...

That is correct. It is indeed. I intended to have the voltmeter always active so I could monitor the battery voltage constantly, but I was getting some noise in the preamp when the voltmeter was active, so I added the red momentary pushbutton there to check the voltage so I can mute the preamp...

Nothing wrong with your plan. This is my bass with an onboard Underground Accelerator (similar to the C2C Particle Accelerator) preamp. Built with a Warmoth body that I routed out to accommodate the custom PCB I designed for it. I use a large 9.6V RC car battery pack (I have three I can swap and...

Absolutely. I have it on order and it should be shipping early next week, so I should have it in stock by the middle of December at the latest. Transformers and faceplates are in stock.

The faceplate is made of FR-4 (fiberglass) with layers of copper on each side under the solder mask. It will hold up to heat just fine.

The difference there is that while I do sell 9V pedals, they are not 9V circuits, and the high voltage caps in my pedals are actually necessary.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense. I feel silly.

If you're using a 630V cap in a 9V circuit, it's never going to charge above 9V. The voltage rating pertains to the dielectric breakdown rating of the construction, it doesn't mean you're actually getting more electrons in there, just that it's possible to charge the cap to a higher voltage...
