The second project still needs to finalized, but it's going to be a Canadian style preamp
Traynor YBA-1?
Superstacks, custom jobs... Maybe it's time for a Broughton Megathread.
Yes, we probably should have some sort of club thread in the effects section.
Once Josh comes back from vacation, the following will be on my boards:
-SuperStack
-Powerstack
-Azure Drive v2
-Broughton PLL
-Broughctave
-LHPF
Add the P-15 to that, lots of Broughton stuff
Not to derail this thread, but I've been working on my all-Canadian 1590a pedalboard and Broughton is nicely represented.
Broughton HPF, Southampton 5th Gear, Fairfield Modèle B, and my house sitter tells me my Monocle arrived while I've been away on vacation.

Josh needs to quit all this tinkering around and get back to P-15 production. (Because I'm on the list, lol).
Traynor YBA-1?
That idea crossed my mind as well, but like @nshuman said, it is a rather different beast than that, and I am very excited about it.
Maybe a YBA-1 should be next though...
Hmm. I'm not sure that Bruce Lee had amp GAS in mind when he said this. But I agree that it can make life difficult.
Seeing that and the other pic you posted, it appears the MOSFET is used to control the B+ voltage. The Cinemag CM-2810 is the audio transformer for output, unlike the REDDI which is much bigger (looks more like an output transformer from a Marshall).
Looks like a simple circuit heavily based on the B15N preamp section. Exceptions appear to be the 6.3Vdc where the B15N uses 6.3Vac, SS rectifier versus the tube rectifier of the B15N, and the change to the B+ voltage.
The two yellow transformers in the back are the power transformers for the plate and filament voltage. Each appear to have a full-wave rectifier. The other black heat sink will be the voltage regulator as DC will be used on the filaments for less noise.
The resistors and caps between the tube and the front panel appear to be the tone stack.

New clips with Foam, Fender P and Flats coming soon!
REDDI,P-15 & a mystery guest
REDDI,P-15 & a mystery guest
The first two takes of the P bass sound pretty close, but the first one sounds a bit thicker and warmer, to my ears. The last one is a bit more clear but thinner. My guess would be the P-15 (maybe with a little more bass), Reddi, 800B. I feel like I'm wrong more often than not, though.
Yeah- I was going to describe it the exact same way. So little difference (especially if a touch of EQ was added) between the first two. The third sounds thin and anemic comparatively.
For the P with flats it goes in this order.
1. REDDI set at 10 o'clock
2. P-15 set at 10 o'clock (Treble,bass,level)
3. JKPVSF800B set with the treble at 10 o'clock, mids at noon, bass at 1 o'clock and the level at 9 o'clock.
The Jazz with Rotos and a very small touch of my Dunwichamps Volt Thrower
1. P-15 everything at 10 o'clock
2. REDDI set at 10 o'clock.

Total lurker here... I really like the P15 and Reddi, though one more than the other.
I have a question for those of you recording on computer...
Do you run your nice, fat DI into a USB interface then into the computer? Does the quality of the interface change the end result? ( I think I may know the answer to the last one.)
OR
Am I wasting resources on a nice DI only to put it into an ART Tube MP interface before Reaper?
Thanks for the clips!
