Rough component placement and laying out for my project are done. I need to fine tune all component placement and follow it up by carefully retracing with width and creepage on point. Not far out now. Will anyway order the components before sending this to print, as there are a few iffy things...

I am at least at 6mm clearance for anything above 200V difference. Should be good (displayed grid is 1mm scale). I am using 'rough' traces right now to place components in a way that makes sense (what a headache), then I will fine tune and double check. My Deliverance was built using the same...

Well, my schematic and part selection is done, I have quotes for the transformers, know more or less where I'm heading in terms of footprint etc. So now I'm having fun. More or less half way in, with the difficult half behind me. 12ax7 distance center to center should end up at 5cm. Hopefully...

Here you go. Had to upload to an external host as I can't upload a pdf here and there seems to be compression past a certain resolution. Some stuff needs to be connected by a wire but the naming should make it easy enough to figure out. (Obviously, click on the image).

Hah one of those isolated caps. Great if your negative leg isn’t ground… filter caps in series can give nice surprises otherwise !

Are you happy to see me or is that dark green cap on the right side of the second pic bulging @KR Sound ? Good news all around, congrats! Also… where do you get those enclosures? I love these (the continuum, I wouldn’t dare call a pregnant woman an enclosure)

Yes it seems the resolution wasn’t the best and it’s hard to read. I’ll reupload a proper one once I am back from holidays.

Do a deliverance pre, I think it’s a really cool grain and much more versatile than people think ;)

cheers. It seems Europe has either replacement for vintage stuff (so vintage in more of an overpriced way), Hammond via Mouser or Digikey, or smaller companies that do semi customs. For the PT it’s not too bad, for the OPT it’s more difficult if you want something for guitar. I could ask Rondo...

Probably as good a thread as any to ask but since I am away on holidays I can only do some head scratching on my project and can’t really come out with a definitive answer: for a push pull KT77 pair and a B+ of 470V, what output transformer would you go for? I am thinking 4300 primary impedance...

Nice queue! Enjoy. And feel free to hit me up when you need it.

@derevaun Two questions: - what is it - how many amp builds do you have on your pile now 🤣

Nice thanks for the review! As for the sandpaper gumming up fast, I always keep a sand paper eraser close by. Works wonders and costs nothing. Also I am not a fan of fret erasers as it feels imprecise. But this is for when I build my own necks, I think they would be sufficient for a clean up.

Missing the option “because it’s a good excuse to not actually practice the instrument “.

Well. Schematic seems done. With Ch1 and Ch3 only, even when keeping 2 tone stacks, I am only using 3 relays. I will keep a "mechanical" bright switch. It's not too bad really, but I am not sure I will use a 12H (!) choke. Will probably scale it down a bit, it is massively overkill. For what...

I have a Joyo clone of the precision drive and the same problem. Either position 1 or 2 (ideally in between) or then it’s full on caricature. I also have an AionFx Blaze that is pretty good but too much gain at all times and the settings are way too aggressive- you need to setup your amp for the...

So in my search of a perfect clean ish boost for high gain tones on my amps, next in line was a PPCB Wonder Drive / Airis Savage Drive. No mods. Build was uneventful (although I am preparing for the hate by saying I think PPCB pads are a taaaaad too small), everything was easy to fit, nothing...

Looks great really. What kind of oscillations you got? Hopefully you can track them down. If I were you I would put shielded wires at least in places carrying signal level - input and output. Careful with ground looks obviously. For my part, I will have to settle with a 5 preamp tubes setup (3...

All good questions @Chuck D. Bones . It’s to place in the non of a tube amp between the depth knob and ground so it will see very low current and voltage unless something blows up. Actual resistance should be low that’s about it but I am hoping for some decent accuracy (20%?). Some people have...
