That would be exciting. And scary. I double checked and the lowest voltage is one that is 35v so just 1 volt shy of double. Sounds pretty safe.

I think they are all 50 - 100 volts but I guess I will double check.

Before I do this I just want to make sure I am not missing something. I used all capacitors that are well over 18v so I am safe to try my Median build at 18v, yes? Also, what result would you expect in a compressor at 18v vs 9v?

Here's what I used for my Cast Iron Overdrive. You might want to check all the other diameters, I tend to make them a few millimeters larger usually. https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/edit?id=25440

I searched and I didn't find one so here is the template I used for my Median build. Note that I used a larger external nut DC jack and you might want to check all the other diameters, I tend to make them a few millimeters larger usually. https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/edit?id=26452

Thanks. We have a laser printer but I have been afraid to use it because I am not sure if it takes decal paper and my wife will kill me if I mess it up!

Thanks. Yes, I have used white Sunnycopa also. Do you print at home? I have been going to Kinkos / FedEx but that has been becoming more problematic over time also.

Is this the one you use? I have been using Sunnycopa but that seems to be expensive and harder to get lately...

Thanks! I am definitely getting compression. I tried it all the way clockwise and all the way counter clockwise and points in between. I think I have it where I want it - for now anyway :) I have only ever had the Xotic SP before so with all these knobs on the Median I have lots to play with.

Reviving this thread because I just finished building my Median. I also can't get to 1.875 measuring the drain of Q1, it gets up to something like 1.56 with the trimmer maxed. Measuring source and gate and setting it to about 1.83, it gets pretty squashy at extreme compression settings. Just...

Thanks guys I will try that. Just wondering how looking at the schematic tells what the pads are though for future builds.

I didn't see them printed on the PCB. I do see in the schematic the 1 2 3 for the transistors but I don't understand how that translates to the 3 pads.

OK, I see that. How do I know if the pads on the PCB are D S G or G S D? I am assuming S is in the middle either way.

I bought these 2N5457 transistors from Aion Fx for the Median I am building: https://aionfx.com/component/2n5457-jfet/ How do I know the orientation of the D S G leads?

It actually a clear water slide decal, printed from a project I made in GIMP. I probably have more if you want me to mail you one. Or I could email you a file to print your self

Wow this is cool! Is it a preamp as designed to run in an amp's fx loop, or can you use it in front as well? And is it going be for sale at some point?

I let it sit overnight and tried again yesterday with nothing in the fx loop. It was working and I played it for about 20 min. So the fuse isn't blown, right? Because twice now I have gotten sound out of of it after sitting for a while. I kept it on but put it in standby for about 15 minutes...

I just tried it again to see if letting it rest magically fixed it. There was sound but it was low volume and sputtery. I opened it up and the power tubes were loose, one was visibly leaning. I pushed them in and it was working seemingly normal. Then I shut down to add a pedal and now there is...

I have 2 Samsung T5 SSD that have been flawless for video editing so I think they would be more than adequate for backups. Last time I looked there is something that looks exactly the same called T7 now.

Unfortunately I do not.
