Any possibility of doing a pedal that uses a real tube?
Im actually not sure what exists out there.. anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Try the Baja Real Tube Overdrive project at FSB.

Bajaman sells PCBs for these.

I've got two I'm currently building, just a few caps short of finishing. The thing that's hard to get hold of are the power supplies.

I have a couple of Bajaman's PCBs for the tube overdrive. They are outstanding! I have not had the chance to build them, though.

Isn't that what the Way Huge Red Llama is "supposed" to be?
Or do you mean real as in it physically has a tube?

I am halfway through the build, waiting on parts......Stoked for the Baja real tube overdrive to finally get fired up.

Awesome, thanks guys. Ill be looking into the Bajaman project. I think it'd be a fun and somewhat different project.

Hi there man,

I've been thinking up about the the bajaman project  ::) What a mess, the power supply he uses ! ... That's why I'm messing around with another tube pedal:

Check this up: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=1899.0

I will have this Tube pedal finished by this time in about 1 week :) I will post something about it somewhere in the forum

;D

Oh sweet!!
Nicely done man. Yeah i was looking at the bajaman and it seemed to be a bit unconventional as far as having a 16v AC power supply etc.. I will keep an eye on your thread! ;)

Smallbear has an 18V AC supply available at a reasonable price.

It's not my project ! It's Juansolo and Cleggy's project ;) ... They have thought in everything ! Give it a try (i'm going to build it as far as I get the pieces)
