The treble pot's range definitely isn't narrow. I used the EffectsLayouts board as a guide but haven't built that one to compare. The bass pot doesn't seem to have as significant an effect as I expect - I haven't spotted an error in the tone-stack but there might be one. I'd like to try a 12AU7 in it but all I have laying around are 12AX7s.

I haven't noticed the box getting warm, but I haven't had it on for more than an hour or two. It consumes about 150mA 12V, but at startup draws >350mA for some seconds as it warms up.

I can switch over to the EVH 5150 15 watt, and the power chords and distortion blows the doors off this pedal. However the distortion for a power chord sucks. It uses an LT1054 like EffectsLayouts design. Great pedal for a screaming solo or some other additions. Board-mounting the bass and treble pots instead is probably the way to go. It could use some improvement - the board isn't well supported so dropping the pedal could break the tube. Taxes apply to residents of tax-paying states.

Poor planning, needs more work, but since the build runs I just jammed in a box up-side-down instead. The original plan was to board-mount the level and gain pots with the tube facing down and the DC jack above it, but I tried and it didn't fit.

The top-side has 3 jumpers, plus one on the daughter board. That is to say, a double-sided board isn't necessary, it's just for mechanical strength. I made a double-sided board so I could effectively solder wires and the daughter-board underneath, but of course there are no vias, so they still needed to be soldered to the underside. I wanted to see if I could squeeze it in to a 125B, so I made a layout using ExpressPCB Plus and etched the board. The design and sound is the same as the original (as supplied to Eric Johnson, David Gilmour) but with improved parts such as Switchcraft all metal jacks, click pots.

Congrats on the BK Butler Kev, it's one I'll never sell! I feel that it's easier to get the 'violin' tone with that particular tube. The 12AU7 also tames a little of the spikey-ness of the JJ 12AX7. Bjorn at Gilmourish gives it high praise (he has some demo videos on YouTube as well).
