The Crack is very sensitive to the tube used in it. If you have access to other tubes, try rolling them: you might find some with very low noise floor.
still waiting for m crack......
want to ask what tube does it pair well? will the deafult ones do the job well?
We're still just waiting for the chassis panels to arrive from the laser cutter. They are supposed to have shipped Friday or today. As soon as they get here a large batch will be shipping, and there should be another shipment of panels arriving not too far behind them for more recent orders. Bear with us guys, during the Xmas season our orders just about triple and we're pedaling as fast as we can.
I really want to order a kit, but the DIY part gets me thinking. I have zero experience with soldering parts, and I am just worried if I screw up.
How easy are the instructions to follow for someone that knows the minimal for electric circuitry. Has any first DIY'er manage to build the Bottlehead Crack kit by themselves?

It's a really easy kit to build even for a first timer and the instructions are spot on if you follow it to the letter.
If you get stuck there's the Bottlehead forums and even Doc B. will come to the rescue if needed !
I've got more expensive/elaborate amps than the CRACK, but I can't recommend this little GEM highly enough and if you have other skills like me you can even be a little more individual !
