I know you all hate PCB's, but it worked out nicely...

Nice amp Talbany..tight indeed.
Wow, is that you're regular conversion PCB? I wouldn't have thought it would fit.
No, my regular board is a bunch longer than that, so I designed a smaller version. I stripped out the loop & reverb, and tightened the layout as best as I could, added ground planes to keep it quiet and stable, and crossed my fingers. As it is, I have one preamp tube under one end of the board, then the two others. Used the rectifier socket for a power tube, solid state rectifier, Marshall style filter cap. I attached most of the steps in the zip file.

O were playing this game? :D

Not quite done homebrew. Clean, OD, reverb, loop, SS/tube recto and more.

ODS style preamp, lots hiding underneath the boards too.

Chris , your OD pedal is pretty slick. I guess one channel is solid state ? Only see one tube... nice though.

Thanks Andy!
JFET clean, then a 12AX7 running at HV for the OD. Also using a Belton reverb brick for reverb. Some relays for foot-switching OD and PAB and some other mechanical switching going, lots of fun. Got a schem somewhere....

That's just awesome work!! Took me awhile to find the 3rd tube. This makes me wish I'd stayed with PCB design back in the 70's.
