I was just looking at that. Where do the tubes go? I dont see a spot for them.
Utility pedals...

Off board. So I’m thinking of mounting them to the chassis. That’s how my Trinity was too. That’s the only thing I’m struggling with at the moment. A chassis and face plate. Everything else seems not too hard.
A great mods that I’m trying to get to the bottom of. Andrea seems very good at replying to emails at the moment.
I was wanting something high gain this time. My 18w custom plexi does the rock well but wanting something more metal

I think if we can find someone to supply and drill the chassis it will be easy! Ish.
The drilling template in the resources section is crap!

Well my opamp buffered loop works great on the amp. I guess there are others like it out there. I haven't seen a schematic for the Ceriatone "Kleinulator" but I bet it's opamp based. One cool thing on that is the level control, Dumble style efx loops are highly dependent on the preamp level as they're just an insert between the pre- and power sections. But fortunately, I have not one but TWO Deluxe Memory Men in the loop which both have a lot of gain. I've got it dialed in pretty well. I think I'll wait until @fig gets his E-Lator in his hot little hands before going down that path.... . Plus, I really don't want a piece of rack gear. If it will fit in like maybe a 1032L that might be interesting.
The other option is to installed a tube buffered loop in the amp chassis.
I was looking at this one from London Power.

I have a few power amps in mind... some already sourced. When I get 'round to building it all out I'll snap some pics. Two MMs? Yummy!Well my opamp buffered loop works great on the amp.

Are my hands really that hot?

Ok I just took a look at the layout for the e-lator. Yah, no way it's going to be a "pedal". Needs a power transformer. Bleah....I have a few power amps in mind... some already sourced. When I get 'round to building it all out I'll snap some pics. Two MMs? Yummy!

If you do decide on building a turret...Hoffman amps makes sweeeeeet turret boards all ready to go for lots of different circuits.

These are great @MichaelW. This has got me thinking about making myself a utility box for switching and routing.
I think for my needs, I'd want a splitter at the input so I could always run a signal straight from my guitar DI'ed into a separate track on my daw for reamping, and 4 switchable outputs at the end of my pedalboard for each of the inputs on my amp (2 separate channels, each with a hi and low input) I'll have to think about what else I might want

My favourite type of pedals! UTILITY for the WIN!
One question for you, though — BYOC's amp-switcher kit/PCB has a transformer for isolation, but you're using just buffers?

I'm not using an amp switcher, just splitting the signal at a certain point in my chain and sending it either directly to my Apollo or to the amp.
Utility builds… might not be sexy but man are they useful. I’m going to be building one similar to your red one that switches my amps preamp into and out of my modeler without ripping up cables. It’s nice to be able to run my amp through the plethora of cabs I have in the modeler

Or go the SMD route and build a new multi-pedal for each build..
These (and the other PCBs)are on sale 30% off right now with code 2024PCB for anyone interested
