"Yes, a good wall wart is the best thing for any tube pedal.(best not to buy a generic one?) But I would use a 12v power supply, 9v puts a clamp on the headroom & can get woofy or flat sounding depending on what tube is used: (AT7, AU7, AV7, AX7)…"

1W Amp Kits?

Hi Team,I see the thread about the "One Puff" amp and it has me thinking. Is there a kit getting around for this, or is there a very low watt tube amp kit around? I want to build a small valve amp, but if I need to I may go solid state. but I think a Valve would be a pretty cool project.Thanks.See More

"cheers, another question. Should I sand the  back of the lid to make it thinner so it will vibrate more? particularly around the back of the sound holes?"

Terry replied to Paul Craig's discussion What's on your workbench?
"But the scratches I want  to remove are the ones in the finish, just around the slots. If I sand the top wont I remove the varnish?"
