500mA will do fine 😎

Hey Alex, I got the iron on to do some soldering... but then I need to ask a few questions before I make that less-populated board for you. This PCB board is normally installed using two purpose made screw holes with the HPF switch and the 3 pots directly soldered onto the board. If you don't...

Still looks super cool!! Nice work :)

Hey #Slugsmoreslugs, Welcome to the forum! I'd love to see your soldering around the treble pot. I'm wondering if you have created a solder bridge across some of the pot pins.

They’re NOS but need cleaning before use.

I can’t recommend the Cioks Sol / DC7’s enough for tube pedals.

I’ve made quite a few and 553mA is the lowest value I can quickly find. The tubes I use have a slightly higher current requirement (5814A’s). When cold the current starts very briefly at near 600mA before dropping quickly down to around 565mA and then slowly drops a further 10-20mA over the next...

😎 unfortunately, I’m still quite new at PCB design and I’m headed into Christmas which - for a Pastor - means I don’t have a lot of spare time for my hobby at the moment 😊 But I agree a custom PCB would work best. Just to be clear, Nathan, are you okay for me or someone else to build a modified...

Well... I'm not there yet! My prototype didn't work and it's mutch too crowded in the pedal when all connected to test safely. So... I'm thinking of building a few "in principle" modules so I can isolate what I've missed. And while I'm a but disappointed it didn't work, I've picked up a few tips...

Great minds think alike sir :) That’s definitely part of the plan! That will give me “most” of the space I need. Then I’ll move the jack up and to the right just a little so the 1/4” plug misses that red cap as well.

okay this side… So close but no cigar… out comes the dremel Output jack is too close to the socket. Looks like I’ll be making another prototype 😎 I’m hoping to get this one working though!

And now to fixing my pcb mistakes:

In parallel to the second cap in the DC CLC choke is a 100nF film cap underneath. Some of my C2CE builds don’t play well together even on isolated outputs on my Cioks DC7 so I’m hoping this will help.

The switch with capacitors is the Fc voicing switch for the wet path. Fc values were chosen to suit the different effects but always leaves the dry analog tube path unaffected 😋
