Boss OD-1 to TS9

[Arn C.]

How difficult is it to change a boss OD-1 to a TS9 tubescreamer?
If it is not to intensive, what needs to be changed?

Thanks!

Hi Arn,

I think you're mixing up the OD-1 and OD-2. The OD-2 is very similar to the TS-9, some component values are different. The OD-1 is had also a different schematic and only two pots.

Thank you for the info.   I have a friend of mine that was wondering if I could do this for him.   That is why I asked.  I guess it can be donw, but way too much for the bother ,  maybe there is a way to make it sound more tube screamer like.   Any ideas?
Thanks!

personally he wants it to sound like a TS right. i would gut it.  go with the lm386 for the amplification.   set it up with a third knob for tone.   and build the freq response around it to be like that of a tube screamer.


it wouldn't take but about a half hour. to build it on perf.  maybe canabilize the switching circit from his board.  that or add truebypass to it.

send me the Od-1 schematic link and i will look and see what else could be done.

Hey Arn, what about build a Tube Reamer for him? You will spend only some parts, and you can use the Boss electronic switch. I think a small piece of perfboard will fill inside of the enclosure without remove anything.
