You've seen this before in the form of Rej's Bax30
This is a peach. Along with the STM800v2, I think this is really nailed on and awesome. It's the HV version of the Baby Boobtube. But then we wanted a vol/gain control on the front of it, well that called for a buffer and we didn't want to use anything pedal based for it, so it gets one half of a 12AU7 (actually a HiFi buffer). Then we wanted more tone options on the back, so we added a Baxandall tone stack and used the other half of the 12AU7 as another buffer before that.
Different to the baby, it doesn't really saturate for a start. Probably the Bax does that, but as the 6BR7 has so much output, it still runs it with no problems at all. All round it just sounds bloody lovely.

Wow! This is effing beautiful :D
Two questions:
what voltage is this running at?
Is there a schematic and build docs to this
or is is it a proprietary thing?
.....must have thing of beauty!
Cheers, Mark

190V on the plates.
There is a schematic, but my site's down until I've got enough bandwidth to upload it to some hosting that I've bought. Should be back in a week or so, but at a new location.

Top-notch! How do you do the sleeves on the component leads?
