That does look really nice! Thanks for sharing! 1 question: does the ground plane under/close to high impedance paths/components have a impact on the tone?

Lovely.

When you have these files I presume you send it to somewhere that can make the boards. Will places make just one board or do yo have to get say 10 made, and are they expensive?

p.s Lauri, just been watching the new series of bordertown on Netflix :D kippis :D

Thanks for posting that Lauri. I took your schematic file and modified it for a Tweedle Dee Deluxe. Now I'm looking at assigning footprints for components and it looks like all of your components come from some Uraltone library - is this your company? Are none of these components similar to standard library components?

I was about to do the same thing! I did the 5e3 first, so I will have both in hand! Thank you Lauri!

thanks for sharing! I'm working on learning Kicad, I got stuck on doing holes for eyelets / solder points for the Dumble relay boards. I need to put in some time and this will be a great help!

Just an FYI, I am going to build the 5F6 in a mojotone JTM-45 chassis, I got the board mounted just need to figure how to mount the OPT and choke..
wish me luck and thanks for the boards

I used some stand offs with 4/40 screws on both sides so I can take the board off easily when I get the transformer in
