Anyone know how I would go about building the simplest possible tube overdrive pedal?
I'm looking at a tube amp that is very good for the money, but doesn't quite have as much gain as people would like, so I want to use the pedal on top of that.
I don't think it would need any controls, because if the amp weren't cutting it, I'd just turn the amp down to a cleaner volume level, engage the pedal at full power, and then dial-in my distortion using the amp itself.
So theoretically, it'd just be the input/output plugs, the tube, the power-supply (or battery pack), and any other smaller incidentals.
Thoughts?
