    Cheers for all the background on the tubes Doc. So Will the tube be fitted inside the box or where it's shown on the photo? Will be awkward if it's mounted on top of the pedal.
    Would be cool to hear the difference in the 3 tubes

    The tube is going to be fitted where it's shown in the pic, there's not really enough space inside the pedal to accommodate it, although you can mount all the parts on a piece of Veroboard, this will free up space so you can then mount the tube socket inside the pedal, to be honest I didn't really notice any awkward-ness with having the tube socket mounted where it is, it's no more or less awkward than any other pedal although other people may find it a bit awkward.

    Where the tube is located is exactly where it is in the original Persuader pedal design.

    I reckon it'll be cool to hear exactly what the difference is, this pedal design may be really useful in a situation where a guitarist is in a studio recording session.


    I may even see if I can improve on the basic design of the pedal later on, and present it as a build project for other forum members that are interested.
