Dumble ODS preamp with submini tubes

Wife working from home started me on a silent rig quest that led me this and now I'm in headphone heaven.

It's a full Dumble ODS preamp with Russian 6n17b submini tubes in a 1590XX enclosure. I used grill cloth to cover the heat vent ports for the tubes.
Well-worn 555 SMPS with about 140V at the plates.

I added a high-voltage mosfet buffer on the output (Dumbleator style) and it even works really well as a boost/OD pedal into another tube amp. Mostly I run it into a delay > diy Surfy Bear reverb > Two Notes Cab M+.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

How loud is too loud?  What?

Amazing, if it sounds half as good as it looks then I'm sure it is headphone heaven.

That looks awesome!  After working on amps (including building some Dumble amps), its amazing how few components are needed to sound good, compared to some pedals.

This is so impressive on so many different levels, would love to hear it. Great work!
