In the preamp full step-up transformer.
Anode voltage of 300 volts

do you mean anode voltage or supply voltage? im thinking you mean supply voltage since the T had 330V supply for the first 2 input stages, and the DC Cathode Follower + Driver.

Why are all the Beta-inspired CMOS pre-amps I've seen (to be fair, there have not been many) emulate the Beta Bass rather than the Beta Lead? I'm aware that they are pretty much the same, but the reverb on the Beta Lead is SO FUCKING COOL! There's some really dark, ghostly sounds in there.

anyone tried the Correct Sound custom?

MT tube preamp



MT tube preamp is designed on the base of the section of preamp of guitar amplifier SUNN Model-T of 1973 on two ECC83 S (12ax7 EH) tubes. In fact it is a channel tube of our pedal “tube beta hybrid” in a separate box, but there is one difference. This preamp has got two regulators of gain. Normal and Bright ( as amplifier Sunn Model-T) It gives possibility to change “brightness” of the signal smoothly.

Our preamp has TRUE BYPASS operated by relay. It works so that when power supply disappears (ex: someone pulled out the cord by a foot by chance) the pedal switches into mode bypass and sound doesn’t disappear.

Specification:

• tube 2 X JJ ECC83 S (12AX7 EH)
  gain N (normal)
  gain Br. (bright)
  bass
  mid
  treb
  level
  true bypass
  U - 12 VAC 1000 mA (minimum)
  power plug 5.5mm x 2,1mm
  Dimension of the box: 144 mm x 120 mm x 58 mm ( on the level of knobs)

Sweet!

How is tube beta hybrid mkII coming along? Release that soon and ill change my mind about buying a rustybox!

I feel like these are crazy over priced. I am kinda cheap though

Having owned it for a couple of years now, I don't quite think so.

It's also a Meathead clone.

tube beta hybrid Mk-II (based on sunn model T & beta)



It’s a hybrid pedal in a compact box size (187mm x 120mm x 38mm),with two channels: tube and "stone". The tube channel is based on Sunn’s Model-T (1973), with two 12ax7EH tubes. The "stone" section has the preamp of the Sunn Beta amplifier (bass or lead, depending on the customer's choice).

Unlike the first version of the pedal, the channels aren’t switched successively but in parallel, as in our Beta Bass preamp. The new preamp only has one output and a balanced XLR DI out, which has switches for pre/post master and ground lift. We also offer true bypass.
Just like we did with model I of the Tube Beta Hybrid, we intend to produce two variants of the Beta channel: BASS or LEAD, depending on the customer's choice. Each channel has a classical set of regulators: gain, bass, mid, treble, level and master volume.

Check out the Giant Sound or Holy Mountian from Midnight Amplifications. They look and sound killer

Good necrobump. You may or may not be aware that Midnight Amplification has essentially wrecked his/their reputation around here.

Why's that?

I'd say mostly because of poor communication with buyers. Couple that with an inability to take criticism and the eventual deletion of all posts in a shark tank spot (critical or not) and you kinda render yourself persona non grata.
