I used a clip, probe, and 20k 2W resistor to make mine.

I've never really found that necessary. I like to remove the mains fuse, put an appropriate breaker across the fuse holder, then bring up voltage on my variac which has an ammeter. If it draws current, turn it off and figure it out.

PREACH

The most typical 'blown amps' I see have had a power tube blow, either from age or omproper bias. It's common for them to fry the screen grid resistor when they go. If you're really unlucky they take the power tranny out too.

It's not typically the supply unless youre running old ass filter caps. It's the tubes typically. Underbiasing or total loss of bias.

That was my first diy pedal! Very fun project and surprisingly good sounding.
