Oddly enough, it seems wise to not use the brand of caps Fender uses in their reissues :

In the interim, I’m going to use the enclosure from an old TubeMP preamp that I somehow managed to blow up in order to house some experiments, and maybe use some kind of wooden frame for added safety until I can work it all out. Likely a lot less safe than any of the prescribed builds 😂, but...

FWIW, I’m considering using larger enclosures for some C2C boards, though I’m not sure yet what would be involved with converting the Tayda drill templates for that. I haven’t actually begun ordering parts yet, tho have bought a few boards from Nathan recently. The 1/4” jacks seem like they...

Thank you, Nathan! Just bought two. Cheers!

Without seeing the schematic, and given what info there is on Noble’s product page, it’s difficult to know the signal path, since I can’t read printed circuits all that well. Spending money on tubes and circuit boards, hah, so the DI part would be put aside for now if possible. My main...

Hoping the Nobelium might function without the xlr/transformer in place. (Would likely end up waiting to buy the transformer(s), but would like to experiment with this before then.)

Thank you. That makes me feel much better about all of it!

Couldn’t resist poking the Bard, haha: Ok, so let’s say the board is grounded to the enclosure in order to shield against electro magnetic interference. In terms of the physical build of the guitar pedal, how would you prevent or build to protect against an accidental high voltage short to the...

Haha 😂 yes, I was genuflecting somewhat to the AI gods by using the word ‘expert’, I agree. lol Hey, one never knows when that singularity is gonna happen. Thanks for the detailed replies! I suppose “shorting to the enclosure” is more what I meant to say.

This was the prompt used for ChatGPT, for those interested: ”You are an expert in electronics, specifically high voltage circuits built using 4-layer PCBs for guitar pedals which use tubes running high plate voltages. How would you go about building the pedals? What would be the overall...

You’re welcome, zgrav ChatGPT’s response to a similar question around building tube pedals (answer abbreviated to what seemed most relevant) /* To prevent high voltages from grounding out to the metal enclosure: 1. Isolation: Ensure proper isolation between high-voltage nodes and the...

Mentioning the use of an SMPS changed things a bit; I’m mainly concerned with how to ground these tube pedals. Anyhow, followed it up with the following, and it’s answer is below that: ”Would you change any of this advice if using a SMPS with a 9v DC adapter, rather than something which plugs...

Asked Google’s Bard the following prompt: You are an expert in electronics, specifically high voltage circuits built using 4 layer PCBs for guitar pedals which use tubes running high plate voltages. How would you go about building the high voltage circuit and PCB layout? Also, what would be the...

This was Bard’s first answer: As your electronic expert for high voltage PCB design, here's my approach to tackling the high voltage layers and layout: General Guidelines: Safety First: Above all, prioritize safety during design and implementation. Follow established safety standards like...

Asked Google’s Bard the following prompt: ”You are an expert in electronics, specifically high voltage circuits built using 4 layer PCBs. How would you go about designing the high voltage layer(s) of the circuit and PCB layout? What would be the overall guidelines or rules of thumb you would...

Received the KingNothing PCBs today. These look awesome! So stoked to get putting something together

Bought two! Going to gift the second one. Whenever you’re able to get to putting together the bom or docs is cool by me Thnx! edit: quasi Xmas gifting, tho not needing to get it done for the holidays :)

Thanks! Checked, and shipping cost is fine with me. I’ll contact you thru your site to purchase then. Please set one aside for me if you can :)

Very much liking the look of that King Nothing PCB. Any idea around when or if they’ll be available? Also, I’m in Canada, so any relevant shipping info or links appreciated
