DIY Dodd Buffer

Trung's been a busy boy for sure!! I heard that some of you might like to upgrade their 2 tube model to the single tube version with switchable filament voltage.
For $150 plus $10 for shipping you can! The upgrade kit will include both new modules, prewired connectors, and the parts for the filament regulator.
All of the instructions are on the website under diagrams. I have them in stock.
I also want you to know that I have plenty of basic kits in stock for quick shipment. Knobs, faceplates and chassis will have to be ordered.

Great to hear from you Gary. I have heard that you were extremely busy with buffers lately. Anyway, thanks for all your help (and Trung) with the buffer. It sings and it is a heavenly sound. Those on the fence who are considering buying Dodd kit - wait a bit longer and you might never see a deal like this. It can end anytime ........ You just do not want to take that chance.

I look forward to hearing how the 6H30 tube works out.

6H30 sound great on my other Dodd Buffer.
Sovtek 6H30 cheap and does sound good.

I know I am late to the party but just got my buffer pre-assembled from Gary (used the virtue offer for it) and WOW! This is an insane bargain. I have had it for all of an hour and I can't seem to be able to stop grinning.

Gary added extra heat sinks on mine so I can use the 6h30 tube. Thats next on the shopping list. But in the mean time I am going back to listening!

Sovtek 6H30 is a good start: cheap and sound good.

I couldn't stand the peer pressure so I ordered the $150 single tube conversion kit from Dodd.
