the power supply is a standard laptop power supply - I have an HP laptop supply that works perfectly.

Things have definitely slowed down on my preamp buying sprees ... I've been buying quite a bit of dirt, and am liking germanium as of late, so I'll have a Spaceman Redstone inbound shortly if all goes well.
I found that a good dirt pedal will function well as a preamp as well - I'm really digging the capabilities of using different clipping diodes and mixing symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping.

I'm really interested how you like that one. I had very high expectations - kind of like a Fender tonestack with the mids raised around 6dB, which basically is what I constructed on my main board, using a Noble and a Broughton RFE.
However, I quickly learned that I absolutely hate germanium diodes dirt, so the Redstone was not for me. I returned it on the very next day.
I'll let you know for sure. I've been digging germanium lately - really love what the Hudson Broadcast does!
I checked and you are correct. So, off to find more transformer saturation pedals
It's the Dual Foot switch.
BROADCAST – dual foot switch – HUDSON ELECTRONICS UK
I've bought and sold probably 20-ish dirt/boost pedals as of late and the Hudson and the JPTR Double are two that I'm jiving with the most.
I think the Colourbox is transformer saturation as well, and I really do like the dirt, but I prefer the Broughton S1 over the JHS. I think if I didn't have the Hudson I'd probably keep the JHS.
Also, I love your dirt bender thread, it's ... inspired me
I keep hearing great things about the Broadcast both versions I'll have to add them to the must try list.

Thank you - this thread is doing the same for me!

How is the FTP faring in your care?
It is EXCELLENT. I consider that more of a preamp than dirt tho, but the OD sounds fantastic on it.
one of the preamps that I have always wanted to try is the Caveman BP (either version) - I've held off because it looks $$$$ for what it is, especially with no EQ. I've been looking at that and the Veri-Tone Arcturus. Both are inbound! It looks like both are similar, so it's going to be a shoot out between the two.
The BP is on "consignment" for lack of a better term - I made a deal with my buddy that if decide I don't want it that I'll ship it back to him. It's pretty much no risk for me!

I really, really like it. One thing that I'll mention - I've tried two different Broadcast clones and the real thing - the clones didn't even come close. Both clones were weak and thin compared to the real thing.
The thing with the studio one is when I crack the red knob, and I always leave it cranked, I don't get any distortion per se, maybe just a little bit magic fairy dust and the sound? But no distortion, and also, if you do get distortion, it's not from the transformer. The transformer only effects the XLR out, otherwise there's no transformer in the path
The S1 is very clean for me as well, but I can get great OD if I use a boost in front of it.
