    hardcore Doc staying up all night, hope you can get some sleep sometime today. Look forward to pics and eventually sound demo's.
    Will the other tubes be easy to interchange for a demo ?
    The only awkwardness I see with the tube where it is, is adjusting the 2 dials but sure it won't be a problem. Also if you have a massive pedal board if that pedal was at the front you may end up tripping over it ! Would have to have it at the back of the pedal board

    Yep, the tubes are easy to interchange for the demo, all you need to do is remove the shield, then remove the tube, replace it with another one, then put the shield back on, you can even do it while the pedal's powered up since it operates at a low voltage and nothing will get damaged.

    I guess you could use a bigger case to house the circuitry in and then the two controls would be easier to get to, I'm already thinking of some mods to the original design, and I might present it as another DIY project, just need to breadboard the circuit to try out the mods and tweak things if necessary.
