It's now five years later and I finally got around to putting my McTube II in a metal box so that I can use it!
I've made a couple of changes.
1. I'm using a 12AT7 instead of a 12AX7. This lower gain tube, to my ears, produces a smoother overdriven, and less fuzzy tone, which I like at this time.
2. I added a Baxandall tone stack for more tonal control.
