have you take a look at this?

Hi everyone!

i was looking for some easy tube projects (some kind of preamp, overdrive, etc...) and i found this:

http://www.beavisaudio.com/projects/ValveCaster/

it seems so easy i just can't forget it

any opinion?

you'll find a lot of info on that project on diystompboxes forums as beavis pointed on his site:

I think that several valvecasters have been built and I think that there were also some soundsamples.

If you're looking for a cool project that doesn't have to be an overdrive check this one out:

Hi
Reviving a very old thread relating to the valvecaster. I purchased a Valvecaster kit from a European company called Tube Town. Although there were no instructions, I was able to get it working and it sounds really nasty and good and we love it
However, this particular pedal seems to be exceptionally vulnerable to EMF. I suspect it is EMF because it is a digital clock noise that happens on a regular pattern. It does not sound like RF - it does not happen all the time.

As I am opening up the box and looking inside of my build, I noticed that there is nothing grounded to the enclosure. I’m guessing that might be a cause.

The step I am about to take is to create that connection from both the input and output 1/4” TS jacks to a screw in the enclosure.

My question was whether you think it would be necessary to also include a connection to enclosure from the negative pole of the power supply jack as well.
