Tube Cricket Vero Layout

[nico13]

To the people interested in building a Tube Cricket which schematic is here below:



I've made these 3 vero layouts. I did 3 because there's one for each part: power supply, tube stage + tone control and power amp.








Although I've already checked these layouts there could be some errors that's why I accept any help in verifying them.

Wow great work...

the LED on the power board is just an indicator right?

[Barcode80]

wonder how the tube cricket sounds as a fet emu?

[nico13]

Thanks.

Yes, the LED is just a power indicator.

I also wonder how it's sounds !! I've searched for soundclips but didn' find any.

anyone has built this by this layout?
works fine? i think the vcc is on the wrong place in the tube stage...

how this thing sounds? it supports well some stompboxes? has a good clean sound?
i'm interested in build something simple like this to make no noise at 2:00AM when i'm testing my effects..

would be nice if someone record soundsamples

thanks

good luck finding any
i dont even think there are samples of the noisy cricket

also, why is vcc after the input cap???

[cox]

i think he wanted to put the wire one hole up

[nico13]

Yes, Sorry for the mistake. Vcc should be one hole up on the tube stage vero.

Many thanks.

have you tested your layout? or know about someone who did it?
i'd like to build this by your layout...
and by the way, lm386 doesn't work at all?

thanks

thanks

it doesnt work well in this circuit
it is not as stable as the JRC/NJM version
for some circuits it works fine, but with others, it doesnt

Unfortunately I didn't check my layouts. I was planning to build a Tube Cricket but I wanted to hear some soundclip of it before. But as I didn't find any I ordered the parts to build a Fuzzrite which I didn't build yet lacking of time for this (preparing my moving).

Did anyone build or verify this layout in the end ? Looks like a project i'd quite like to do when i have some cash, maybe i can finally get some Tube Cricket sound samples up on the internet (why hasn't there been any?)

Thanks in advance for any replies,
Scruff.

[ayayay!]

Yeah really! 

and by the way, lm386 doesn't work at all? 

Eh?  You mean in the non-tube version?  Sure it does.  And it's stable.  I've built 2 using them. 

Sorry, I couldn't see the schems (wouldn't decompress) so I see it has a 386 now...  Derp!

perf layout?

[kristoffereide]

In the veri-layout... What would I connect to pin 4 on the tube???

[Scruffie]

It goes to 12vDC

[kristoffereide]

that's what i thought, but I've seen a couple of things on this vero that surprised me so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

[Scruffie]

Yea, i'm glad someone did a vero of this though! Thanks nico13, if you build this kristoffereide  (which I assume you are) could you please report on the build (i'l try and help if you have any issues, not that i'm that great) and could you also possibly be the first to finally put a sound clip up of this amp if possible?

Thanks in advance,
Scruffie.

[kristoffereide]

I've allready places the parts on a vero. I placed all three stages on one board (5cm x 10cm), but I haven't fired it up yet. Will do it soon, I'll let you know

[Scruffie]

Awesome, I think i'm right in saying that Pin 4 can go to A4 or A5 on the Tube Stage board if you want somewhere to put it, good luck with the build.
