Hey Everyone,
Seeing as I started a thread about doing a 4-Knob Tube Driver build, I thought that it would be cool to do a 3-Knob Tube Driver build thread as well, the 3-Knob Tube Driver is basically the cheaper version out of all the Tube Drivers manufactured by Chandler in the US, it has a different tone compared to the 4-Knob version.
Anyway, after the success I got from building the Doctor Overdrive pedal circuitry on a piece of perf board, I thought that I would try the same basic construction technique of laying out all the 3-Knob Tube Driver circuitry components on the perf board and joining them up point-to-point with tinned copper-wire and insulated stranded wire, I've built the 3-Knob Tube Driver circuit a few times in the past, once on a proper etched PCB, and a few times on vero-board, so I thought it would be cool to try a point-to-point version this time around.
I'm going to be documenting the build process in this thread so that any one else interested can build one for themselves if they like, I'll also post a layout diagram, pics of the build process, an audio demo of the finished pedal so you can hear what it sounds like, and also details of all the components I used to build it and their Jaycar Electronics catalogue number as well so that you can find them at your local Jaycar Electronics shop.
Note that Jaycar Electronics no longer stock valves/tubes, you can order them online together with valve/tube sockets from Evatco.
Stay tuned for more info...
