Check out www.pedalpartsplus.com. They have a number of enclosure sizes in tons of different colors and will even drill your holes for you.
Awesome, thanks!

I've run into extenders/socket savers on the auction site that act as converters. They're like what A-Wall has except they allow you to use 12ax7's. I wonder if it's too good to be true and mods really need to be made to the circuit first...but I'm considering picking a set up since I have a bunch of ax7's to roll through. Would love to hear if anyone else has already tried these. I'm really interested in the WE 396a's as well but, at least for the moment, it feels kinda goofy to buy tubes that cost 2-3x the price of the pre!Great idea. With extenders my Russians would really stand tall. Where did you find them?
Ok I really like adding some SS to the outputtube, instead of the capacitor bypassed resistors, I really really like the LED's better than electrolytic's with the 510R. But the leds are a SS diode, so some will dislike it because of that It is a constant voltage sink, the ones I used are ~1.6V red, very low intensity, low ~constant resistance of about 6 ohms, 0805 smd
(Replaced the "Rubycon" 200V for Nichicon 250V same value, replaced the "Panasonic" for 10.000uF Nichicon too, and replaced the 100k load resistors inputtube for 33k like second stage, replaced the 4k7 cathoderesistors inputtube for 2k2, thus feedback is a little lower, gain a little higher, but inputtube no longer is operating in very unstable area. Oh also added some bypass PPfilm to 250V electrolytics and high voltage side of all load resistors, my loadresistors are flameproof too, just for peace of mind)
Hi, What value are the bypass caps?Ok I really like adding some SS to the outputtube, instead of the capacitor bypassed resistors, I really really like the LED's better than electrolytic's with the 510R.

I have ordered one and will do a comparison. This hobby is addictive!As much as I liked the 6n3 Guanzo 3 tube and 2 tube I now prefer the $31 FX Audio Tube - 01 in my systems.

Poultrygeist, have you tried the Tube-01J version? Has anyone done a direct comparison of the two versions? I see there was also a Tube-01J Limited Edition (unavailable now).
Has anyone tried the tube-03? The bass and treble controls would be a nice feature.

Hi PoultryGeist,I would believe they are very similar except for the J's two position gain switch. Some think the 01 has too much gain but I need that extra gain.
There is at least one person on the lengthy FX thread that has both so you might look through those posts. I don't recall what he said in comparing the two. I do know the J version is lot more expensive.
