Hi Franzoni & Guys
PM the type of vales that it uses.
Are there any specs in that back of the manual.
Yes, from what I remember, the plate voltages on your "Seymour Duncan twin Tube Classic", are high.
I would guess at around 130VDC to 180VDC, at the actual plate, but like with almost all small signal valves, the current is small, usually about 1mA to 2mA per Triode section.
and most are Twin Triodes.
Speculating what would-might happen from a spill, will really depend on where & how the spill is, & how valves are mounted/protected.
Open it up and have a good look at how it's made & where the cooling vents are situated.
Maybe even post or send me some internal pics.
Keeping the OD-2 in the gig bag in case, is always a good idea, even just as a backup.
I carry a SansAmp GT2 & a Behringer GI-100 direct inject box with 4x12 emulation, in my gig case, as my emergency backup, & studio direct recoding amp emulator.
And a couple of new 9V batteries.
Hope that help somehow.
if not, post or send the internal pics
Regards Dr. Bob

tube overdrive pedals+plate voltage
)but because of the nature of the twin tube and the plate voltages it uses (fairly high from what i understand)what would be the outcome if this happened...?? i imagine the twin tube would blow up in some fashion because it gets really hot like a valve amp..but could i get a shock off the guitar in any way at all or could it damage any of the other pedals with a voltage spike..... i still carry the od2 in the gig bag just in case i survive and the gig is rockin'.....
....
...i'm probably just getting unduly worried over nothing....if i see one going cheap in the secondhand ads i might buy it for a reserve as this pedal has become very quickly an integral part of my sound......
