15dB gives you more than enough headroom to work with and not have to worry about losing the tone. That's a really interesting piece of gear for less than the cost of making the PCB. I bet it would make an excellent headphone amp with a few tweaks also.

Agreed on the value, but it certainly doesn't have the drive for headphones.

It's a standard common cathode stage Barry, with a 4.7K anode load.

What would be a good cheap power suply for one of these? Thinking of grabing one myself.

It says they sell one but I didn't see a link. It takes 12V AC at 1A so finding a transformer shouldn't be hard.Originally Posted by Saber

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

The board only needs about 0.4A so it would be better to use a 0.5A transformer.
Depends on the regulation of the transformer and if it is designed for 230V or 240V input, as if the voltage is high, say 13.5V AC then some of the capacitors in the psu section are over run.
If you do get one John I will show you where to connect an extra cap to cure the hum.
