Power Screamer

[taylorchuck15]

Now I'm not exactly sure how big this company is or if it's a clone in itself, but I love the sound of the Power Screamer. Does anybody know of a schematic for this?

Never heard of it.
Sounds like a Dirt Devil clone!

Power screamer is just another TS variant.  You've already build the fooldrive so you probably could just tweak that circuit to your liking.

Well, this guy I know has one. They're built by a company called HBE(Home Brewed Electronics). It has like a fuzz kind of sound, but is more like a fuzzed overdrive than a fuzz. It sounds awesome.

<<<...You've already build the fooldrive so you probably could just tweak that circuit to your liking...>>> - by the by, the Fulltone Fulldrive schematic is a great enigma and i've never seen it. Is it possible to get the schematic anywhere?

I think the "Fooldrive" is it.

Isnt the Dirt Devil a vacuum cleaner? haha

Yeah I got the schematic from this Finnish website. The link is on here, if you search Fulltone Fulldrive you'll find it. The Power Screamer is so much like the Fulldrive, but it has a fuzz kind of sound, so I'm not exactly sure how that would work. Like which part would I change to get that kind of sound?

Hey!  Isn't that forum member Marcus Dahl?

[taylorchuck15]

Who makes them? or who ownes one?

[Dragonfly]

Its a TS with switchable diodes, IIRC.

[spudulike]

Its a Fooldrive with the Grandlaff Dynamic Overhype diode switching.

[taylorchuck15]

So if I add the switching diodes to ta TS circuit, that would do it?

[spudulike]

No, the Fooldrive has slightly reduced gain and a boost - then add the diode switch.

[taylorchuck15]

Wait I don't get it. Can you explain how that would work? Like, what I would do to make the, say, Fooldrive into a power screamer.
