    The amp still needs to have the bugs worked out of it, it is kind of noisy at high volumes, but nothing that I can't live with. The tone control seems to work better with the JJ tubes than the Sovteks, which I find kind of weird.

    The Linear and Clean boost settings on the Triboost don't sound nearly as good as the Germanium settings. I'm thinking I'm going to have to buld a Dallas Range Master clone here in the near future.

    The guitar I used is the Hohner Revelation RTS. It has become my main guitar.

    Thanks for the kind words. I love that Green Screamer pedal, it's like an ideal tube screamer: warm and fat, but without the nasty, nasally mid hump of the originals. It sounds much smoother than the Boss SD-1 Super OD that I have.

    It is a great sounding circuit and sounds good even with marginal tubes. I left the crappy Sovtek 12AX7WA tubes in it. I bet it would sound better with good tubes in it.

    Get DVM to build and paint you one, it is a very useful pedal. :

    I should record some clips with my modded Valve Junior. The Triboost sounds pretty good through the VJ.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Actually, it is always a huge relief to me when the amp fires right up and operates the way it is supposed to.

    The amp is *almost* done. It remains incomplete in that it needs a head cab. The amp isn't all that safe to operate without one. Building cabs in on my short list of skills to acquire.
