  • could you make this with a compactron tube wich is a triple triode ? so it'll have 3 gain stages instead iof two ? I don't have the skill to do it, maybe you do. Cool stuf

  • I dunno--several low-voltage tube overdrives have surfaced recently. I didn't know if this tube would work until I tried it.

    Low voltage (starved cathode) operation is outside of the original specs, and the only way to know for sure is to try to build one. I don't have the tube, so it's up to you...

    Good luck.

  • what is that amp? sound perdy good without pedal to begin with.

  • A little Kay 503, miked.

  • so is it starved plate? cuz it sounds better than starved plate design.

  • Yep, it's gotta be starved plate at these voltages...

see all

  • Sounds great!

    

  • OMG  i love that thick sound!

  • can a booster to wide the stereo front? strange...or maybe post processing...

  • wow sounds fuzzy with some crunch.

  • Was the Kay 503 modded?

    I am really looking for this sound.

    Anyone recomend a DIY pedal that has this "vintage early breakup" sound? What makes it hard to find this sound is not knowing how people describe it.

  • Can I order one from you? In a smaller footprint ..?

    Thanks

    Nick

  • its posible, i dont know of any compactrons that run low voltage though. shouldent be two hard to make though
