I think so.. As you can see below - the pinout is different. But, the important thing is that G is in the right place. S and D are swapped, but usually D and S are interchangeable, so there shouldn't be any problems.

I wonder how the PCB size could be reduced if we switched to SMD. The only remaining issue is the tube. Keep it? Replace it with a JFET? Or maybe miniature tube?

The original has about 1000 pins.

How long is this wishlist? :)

Where do these doubts come from?

Output of the preamp. output of the Reactor. Quote from the thread on freestompboxes: "Ideally the input drive is set low and the output level is set to maximum to obtain the clearest possible signal output, however increasing the drive and decreasing the output level can cause the clipping...

for practice over coffee..

What's the signal level at the preamp output? Do you have an oscilloscope? Or some other way to measure signal amplitude? What kind of preamp is it? If it's simply a 1:1 tube amplifier with only volume after EQ, and it's running at 300V, you'll easily have a few volts p/p. The Reactor only has a...

Does the same thing happen with a different preamp, not necessarily a tube one? Or if you use distortion/overdrive instead of a preamp? Does the input signal level matter? Have you tried the preamp volume at a low level?

Oh.. there's Peavey pedal with Transtube technology.... Dirty Dog. Schematic is available somewhere. And something to read about Transtube - https://peavey.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Chapter3.pdf Also this > Solid-State guitar amplifiers. There's some info about tube amp emulation (6.16)...

There was one attempt, but so far there is silence on the subject. Yes, digital. If there was anything sensible in the analog version, we would probably have recommended it long ago. P&R isn't a PA simulation. It's just a small area of operation of a tube power amp—the interaction between...

Good luck.. :) This can be interpreted in different ways. No bottom end? No punch? If it's a tonal issue, maybe try graphic EQ? Or something like Presence and Resonance from Bajaman? https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?t=29369 Or maybe a Simplifier...

Great news! :) The schematic and drill template are a big help. In fact, if there's not enough space on the PCB, marking of a pin 1 might suffice. Combined with the description in the schematic, this would be enough information.

Cool idea. This is something I miss most in the build documents. The switches don't have their positions labeled. It would be nice to have something like this in the PPCB build docs. @Robert - is there a chance to add switch position markings (position names, preset names, etc) in the schematics?

These parts aren't strictly power amplifiers. They only simulate certain aspects of PA "sound" and behavior.
