Title: Tube Driver - Sound clip added!
Post by: Thomas_H on August 29, 2014, 08:01:51 AM
Hi,

finally I managed to cram this Tube Driver into a 1590B enclosure.
Although it worked with a lot of time spent I can not recommend this. Use a 125B and you will have easy going ;)

I am still tweaking this a little at the moment but build to the known specs it sounds like the real thing.
There is some more background info here: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=17209.msg163886

Here are some pictures:

I got a similar effect by using P'n'P Blue once...

This is an inverse laser etch.

Bet that took a while.  :-)

Looks great, though.  Very nice build.

Very nice! Now i want one just to fit it in a 1590B :)

Glad you bumped up the voltage to plates, if it had the parts rated for it, i'd be curious to hear it with a 18V supply source.
All the tubey i did using the 6.66 Multiplier where running from 18 and had à significant difference compared to 9V.
