I already read "the technology of the tubescreamer", i was asking if some one had a little more detail specific for the ts5.

Unless you use a massive enclosure you'll have to trim the board.  It's too big for a 1590BB.  Anyway, to make the pedal always on remove Q1 and Q2 and jumper the pads where the drain and source of Q2 were.  That's the two outside pads.  Now that the pedal is always on you can wire it for TB in the normal way with your new input and output jacks mounted to the new enclosure.
