SMD Submini Tube Builds

Here are a couple pedals that I recently finished. Boards are from Sushi Box FX. This is my first go at SMD. I gotta say that it's much easier to work with SMD than I originally thought. Actually, it might be easier than through hole...The "Dirt Button" is a submini (6N21B) tube overdrive with baxandall tone stack. I got distracted and the etch went a little longer that I would've liked 😐. The "Black Eye" is a dual submini tube drive (also 6N21B) based on a Soldano Supercharger GTO.

Big shout out to Nathan at Sushi Box FX for designing  these cool boards and helping figure out to how to use the Russian tubes I ordered by accident.

Hi DLW,

can you record some samples? I also have these boards, but I have to buy a set of mini tubes first

If you hadn't told us they had valves in them, I wouldn't have known! :)

Very clean!

Thanks for the kind words fellas. Sorry to disappoint- No sound clips at the moment. I don't have a good recording set up which is further compounded by my lackluster guitar skills. Nathan (Sushi Box) has a video of the Dirt Button on Youtube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBOuUxLA1YM

I will ask a friend to help make a video of the Black Eye. Of the these two pedals, I like the Black Eye the best.

Stay tuned...
