400mA minimum for single tube pedals, 600mA minimum for dual tube pedals.

I assumed it was a reference to the Alembic F-2B, which is what the Particle Accelerator is based on.

I mean I feel like either I'm small enough that he isn't aware of the existence of Nobelium, or he's aware of it and doesn't view it as a threat to his business. I think either is plausible.

If Jack at Noble ever reaches out and asks me to stop selling them then I will, but until that happens I plan to continue. I know there's no legal basis for him requiring me to stop selling these, and I also feel like there's a reasonable argument that the kind of people building these are the...

Also fun trivia fact, if you compare all of my projects and look at number of PCBs sold over the amount of time they've been available, Nobelium has been the highest seller. Like it's not even close, Nobelium has blown away everything else I've ever offered. I guess everyone else is waiting with...

I should use this thread more. Nobelium enclosures are back in stock. I have 20 on hand, but I had A LOT of people emailing me asking when they would be back in, so when everyone finds out they may disappear fast. I'll get another order going soon so I can have another batch in a couple weeks...

Oh cool, I'll bookmark that for the future. Those are much more reasonable prices than I typically expect for big heavy things.

The "M" stamped on the side means momentary, but you're correct it's definitely not using both poles so you could get away with a momentary SPST or SPDT if it fits in there.

Yeah that tracks. They were my go-to for years, they were always super fast and super reasonable, then the last few months the prices seem to have doubled. It's not uncommon for me to see quotes of $100 shipping for $50 worth of PCBs from DHL now.

Who is "they"? I know DHL has gotten ridiculous lately (I still use them when time is an issue), but I typically get reasonable prices from UPS on my big and heavy boxes from Asia. Every freight forwarder I talked to either wanted a large payment upfront or they wanted consistent business from...

If it's not doing the same thing on others then I would definitely start to look for issues in the board, solder joints around the SMPS and around the tube itself are a good place to start.

The thing I'm concerned about is supply current, you're going to want a bare minimum of 400mA, but the more the better, and the less you have the longer it's going to take the tube to warm up.

My first question when people ask about noise issues is and always will be, what power supply are you using? It sounds like it may be an issue of the tube taking a while to heat up, and it is fairly normal for there to be noise and artifacts present while the tube is warming up.

I don't have a tayda template for supersonic because the 1590DD enclosures Tayda uses have walls too thick for the hardware to thread onto. Lovemyswitches is the only place I've found that has thin-walled 1590DD's that I can use with Supersonic. So actually I guess I do have a tayda template...

Whoa, BB is definitely the wrong size. These should be in a 1590XX.

...is that a metal can NE555???

My experience is that you're going to have trouble finding anything smaller than the 125B, which is unfortunate because they're a tad on the expensive side given their size. I've done a headphone amp with a 125B and it was fine for guitar, but for bass I used a hi-fi transformer which is much...

You absolutely can, that's why I go through a set every month or so instead of every week or so. They're long enough that you can sand or cut the stripped section and have a usable socket again.

I use 3D printed rocket sockets (with carbon enforced filament) and they last about as long as the official nylon ones, but I still consider them a consumable and just print a new set every couple months.

Certainly not the typical use case of a Rat circuit, but sure.
