Marc -- I was curious, have been thinking of getting one of these. Do
"tube"have any idea what the plate voltage is in this thing? i.e., is the
acting as a glorified light bulb?Rich, I'm a player/hobbyist not an amp tech, so I can't say. I
encourage you to scour the site. The tube is doinf whatever it is
tubes do in the production of even-ordered harmonics / distortion
department. You will no be disappointed. Marc
Marc, I don't doubt you; this pedal has had glowing reviews. Still I'm
curious about the tube's role in the whole thing.
I've had some experience fooling around with (and examining the schematic
for) the Keeley Java treble boost pedal. That one is a little different
since it's not an OD pedal per se but works with the tubes in an amp to
"sweeten up" the OD (and produce more clarity in the treble range, as you
might expect).
The Java is built around an old Mullard OC-44 Ge transistor. Played through
a SS amp it basically sounds like shit, but through a good tube amp
(particularly with EL84 power tubes) it sounds fantastic. The transistor
contributing nonlinearities in a 9-V-driven box is easy to understand. I
was mainly wondering about the details of how the tube responds at these low
voltages. It's not like it's easy to lay your hands on published I-V
characteristics for 12AX7s in this voltage range!
