Board looks great! Can I ask what machine you're milling with? There aren't a ton of us on here, but I think there are enough CNC users we should probably start a thread for it. 450VDC at 50mA is doable, but not trivial. You're almost definitely getting into flyback territory. The nixie supply...

Looks like a cool idea! As a general rule if something is in build reports I expect to see something that has already been built, projects in development usually hang out in the "Open Discussion" section. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out!

Effectrode is the only pedal company I'm aware of that uses a relay for polarity protection.

OP is asking (in Spanish) if there's someone willing to design a PCB and generate gerber files for them.

Lightning Boy transformers are handmade in New York by a dude with a lot of studio gear experience. I don't think he likes me very much since I got a new transformer supplier, but I used his MC15 transformers for my D.I. builds for a long time and they're great, I would put them right up there...

Not very many tubes in that one, I think. Build looks fabulous though, I love the gold on green look.

Yeah this is only my second formal cease and desist (not counting the "I really don't like that you're making these") I received, and so far the only cool one. The only problem is that the letter is 40 pages long so I have to decide which page is the coolest because I don't have 40 pages worth...

I don't take it personally, I'm actually flattered that they even know I exist. I'm planning to frame the letter and hang it up in the shop.

Found another great use for the UV printer: complying with cease and desist letters. I have a couple preamps based on existing amplifiers and apparently crossed into some gray area of "fair use", so I'm relabeling them per their request so I can sell off my existing stock.

Why does it need to be SSD? Are you expecting to need to read data off them at high speeds? HDD are reliable for backup, they're just bigger and slower. I have 4x HDD set up as a redundant 2x2 for my backups.

Do you or someone you know have a tube tester? I don't like telling people to buy new tubes if they don't specifically know which one is the problem.

Crap, I thought I had those in the BOM, looks like I don't. The holes are sized for M3 hardware, standoff should be 10mm long (not including threaded section).

I have a policy that I don't make DIY projects for active Sushi Box products, and the chances of discontinuing literally my best-selling product ever are pretty slim.

I literally sell more of those than everything else I make combined. Not to toot my own horn, but they're pretty good.

My bare minimum must-haves on bass are tuner, HPF (if none of the others have it built-in), compressor, and preamp/D.I. If you have a little more room my nice-to-haves are chorus, fuzz/OD, and envelope filter.

I mean I've been thinking about getting a new one, you're welcome to the old one if you're willing to brave the hourlong drive on the weed smoke-filled expressway for it.

Yes and yes.

The answer is, as always, "it depends." If you're using a reasonable power supply, an extra handful of microamps of leakage are not going to bother your Cioks DC7 that's capable of supplying 660mA to a <50mA load like a Klon. This will matter a bit more if you're using a battery, as leakage...

My opinion is that you absolutely can drop them in for any and every electrolytic cap on a schematic if you have them on hand. I would say if the original design has an electro in the signal path (typically a no-no) these would be a good alternative if you don't want to use tantalum. They're...

We're talking about different things here. Electrical leakage refers to leakage current, not physical leaking of chemicals. Granted prolonged electrical failure of a capacitor can lead to physical failure which can result in chemical leakage, but "low leakage" doesn't mean "less likely to spill...
