Hi,
Builded the ts on vero with the asychron mod ... and this pedal is the best I ever made!!!

BUT....the tone-pot... .  Is there a mod to make the pod more known. Like the tone pod on the big muff exp.

I try to chance the tonepot of my fooldrive2 to separate bass and treble controls.
Like in AC/RC Booster.
I saw schematic here by the name "L.A. Boutique Screamer". That´s the tonestack I try to use...

I don't see why you couldn't...just sub the stock tone stack for the BM tone stack.

Not really, the tonepot on a TS can do some small correction to the tone (between 8-14 o'clock), not as drastical as a BM-tone control.
A lot of B-makers use the 1st stage of the TS and often add a different, more flexible tone control w an addapted recovery stage.

You can replace the 220E R in the tone control with a 1k pot (kind of mid control) or play with the C values.

I don't like the stock TS-tone control either and often use on a tuned, vintage BM-tone control for more flexibility and a slightly altered recovery stage in a TS-style OD or I drop it completely and set a fixed sound in the recovery stage that can be slightly altered (via trimpot). In most cases the last solution give the best sound, overtones and dynamic response.
