octo booster?

[Austin73]

Anyone built the octo booster on Tcobretti's layouts? Just wondered if it worked and what kind of transformer was used 10k:10k maybe?

Cheers

I feel I should say that the layout is not verified.   However, I breadboarded the pedal according to the schem and it worked pretty well.

Cheers for that the only problem is I live in the UK so can't get that part and also it 1k : 8ohms if i remeber so really struggling. Could I use the tycobra octavia type transformer in it?

I looked at the RS trasformers specs.  It's wound for an 1k input and an 8 ohm output.  So, I believe that the proper mouser equivalent would be the 42TM013.  I will tell you that I used the RS because I had it on hand; another transformer may work better. 

Let me know how this guy works for you!
