My Tube Distortion Pedal



in the current state of near-completion. You can see the Step Up Transformer ( converts 12V AC to 120V AC, 169V Peak, 200+ V rectified ) The 12V Rectifier is actually out of a wall wart, with an additional capacitor added. The plate selector switch selects either 12V or 200V for the second plate to operate at. ( This will affect output. I may add a dropping resistor to the switch as well later ) The future location of a footswitch, and the EMG Presence control I had laying around.

More details and samples when completed. Please forgive the spelling errors in the pics, I fat-fingered a couple while editing the photos.
