Squeals how? Like any other high gain box or like there's an issue?

Reminds me of other high gain pedals. Or any high gain amp i've made. So I'll take a look at moving wires and if it persists then will ask more questions

I use shielded wire on really high gain pedals. This is something I have picked up from amp work so not sure how common or relevant it is in pedals but I haven't had issues.

Yeah I have some somewhere.....i think....

Anyone have a recommended place to purchase? Incase I don't have any anymore...its be 3yrs since I last built and amp and not 100% where I put everything

I have gotten some at Small Bear it is pricey but you don't need much.

I'd considered this, but never tired it. I'll do so at my next opportunity. FYI- maybe star ground to avoid ground eddies.

Sources- ebay, etc. It's nothing specialized. Also, you can use a higher gauge of wire (smaller) since pedal voltages and currents are nothing compared to tube amp.
