Steddi, Go! - simple tube D.I.

[vigilante398]

For people like me who live NOT in the US I could just do with ordering the PCB since it would take about 2 weeks before it arrives Under Downunder at my place, so I don't need the build docs for 2 weeks after I order the PCB.
I think the drill files and artwork is more important to me since Tayda are always so backed up with doing the enclosures.
Your PCB's are usually so well labeled with the component values that I don't even think I need a build doc at all really.
I guess most people don't have practically all the components at home already like I do so they would need the BOM or build docs so they can order parts for the builds, I always order resistors in lots of 50 and caps usually at least 10 each of whatever I need but I'm a solder addict.

To me the most important part is that you get it done in your time frame and not try to rush it, don't let it become a chore that you feel has to be done because then the LOVE that emanates from all your pedals and PCB's might disappear and that would be a sad day for all of us.
And I am really impatient and check the store 10 times a day to see if it is done yet and I still want you to go slow so you enjoy the great work you (and the family) do for the rest of us.

How can I say no to that?

Steddi Go PCB Set

This is a PCB set for building your own Steddi Go preamp/D.I. This is not a beginner project, so if you’ve never built a pedal before, then this isn’t for you. I’ve tried to make this as affordable…

I should be able to get the artwork files finished up tomorrow. Tomorrow is "bring your child to work day" so I get to spend a few hours with my two oldest kids then head home early in the afternoon, should have plenty of time to get it done.

This will be less expensive, smaller, and easier to build. Nobelium will have an EQ and a high-pass filter. As far as general "sounding good", I would put this right on par with Nobelium, it just doesn't have the hype.

Thanks! I think I want the EQ so it’s nobellium for me. But still in the air. I’ll read through the build docs and decide

Just need to export and upload.

EDIT: and swap the labels on the toggle switch, those are backwards.

Artwork has been corrected and uploaded, drill file is still correct. All good to go on the Tayda side of things.

Drill Templates and Artwork Files

Due to the amount of time and logistics required for offering pre-drilled enclosures, I have made the decision that I will not be offering them going forward. I will continue to include drill templ…

Nathan, in the BOM for the Steddi Go it mentions a 12AT7 or a 12AX7 as the tube, what would be the difference between the two tubes apart from a gain of 60 or 100 ?
Is it a coin toss which one I should use or split the difference and go for a 5751 tube with a gain of 70 ?
Cheers

It's really down to gain level, it's about how loud you want the output to be. No reason not to try a 5751 as well.

Well I placed one of each on my tube order for the last batch of PCB's I got, man 22 tubes get expensive but it should keep me occupied most of the winter I hope.
And now I need more enclosures as well from Tayda but they can wait a while, I should have the box for the Steddi Go and the Wrecking Ball today I think so that will calm the Sushi DT's for a while anyway.
Now if I like the Steddi Go with all 3 tubes I most likely will have to order 2 more PCB's since I am too lazy to keep swapping tubes, the enclosure I have coming is candy red so that might have to be the 12AX7 SG, and then an Orange and Green one for weaker tubes Steddi Go's.
Hmmmm......I think I am rambling on again.......mouth engaged and brain in neutral, time for bed I think.
