"We at soundmachines thought about a simple and cheap platform that will transport the main characteristic of a modular analog synthesizer in a small and friendly format, to be well recognised by musicians,  makers and tinkerers worldwide. A small, but  loyal to its roots, instruments of sound creation. With a digital platform added as a bonus."

DIY DC/DC Dual Boost regulated Power Supply for High Voltage Tube VAS


In relation to DIY Hybrid amplifer the first step is to obtain the High Voltage for tube's anode supply and the low voltage for heaters.

Sometimes, if not always, fora a 100W amplifier you have a double sec 150-300VA  36-0-36Vac power transformer only.
Using this board you can adjust the  needed voltage for tube stage starting from your transformer.
Without use any voltage doubler and linear regulators.




The Following image shows how the Double Boost works.
From unregulated  +55/0/-55Vdc the circuit gives at his output the needed voltage, able to supply the anode current for a tube stage.
For example you can obtain +90/0/-90Vdc and 6.3Vdc for the heaters..
