You have to go to the IEC website and buy all applicable norms first. Of course it's up to you to find what's applicable :? But they offer previews which can help on this. For such pedals you don't have to pass the low voltage directive as you found out, so I'd probably comply with RoHS by compiling...

Well I also got no answer, maybe because you are in Italy and I am in France and he's already too busy for the US market?

Could it be used for staking eyelets and turrets? I don't know if it's strong enough and if there's enough clearance under the base to fit a staking tool base like the one from turretboards.com

OK thanks,

looks like they ship international

So what did you choose finally? I'm in the same boat

Thanks, I'll try that !

Hello,

What do you use to clean the amber residue ? Does a special solder material exist without this "side-effect" ?

Thanks,
Spinoo.

Hi, you should try to identify your noise : is it 60Hz or 120Hz ? Then you'll know if ot comes from the high voltage rail or from a magnetic coupling or heaters' supply.

Well to make sure you power supply is correctly sized you could use Duncan's PSU Designer. I was talking about a standalone preamp - nothing in common with a Trainwreck - my friend used a PT with the secondary rated @ 80mA and after simulation his cap choices caused current peaks @ 400mA. He used no...

One must add that with a capacitor input filtering the transformer has to 'fill' at least the first capacitor (depends if you're using a choke to smooth the screens' supply) in a very small time, which leads to very high current spikes. These spikes cause the power transformer to heat as magnetic sa...
