Thank you for such a quick reply. Sorry about the "+12 volts" I thought the negative was implied, I am a lazy typer and I apologize for that. What I was mainly worrying about is since the device is meant to run on +/-15, perhaps it wont get enough power on a eurorack to have the desired distortion without perhaps some modification.
I defiantly have more courage now to attempt this project.
