Woo hoo, this stuff is fun and addicting. I went with the TS-808 and used carbon resistors and TI RC4558P. The pedal is a little noisier than by BSIAB II build, but I'm guessing it is attributed to the carbon resistor and the circuit itself. This build was much cleaner for me. Let me know what you think. I post some recording later.

Carbon resistors? Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't see any in there.

But, the build looks really cool!

BTW, your BSIAB sounds floored me! Awesome!

Your efforts have rewarded you with a great piece !!!

Nice lookin build, excellent graphics. Nice layout work also. That looks like GGG's board layout. Did you etch or buy? Standard 808 or did you do any mods?

That looks great !!
Nice work

just wondering about those standoff's you're using. How are they attached to the top of the box??

While I like the build very much (very clean; very nice), the thing I am most impressed with is the Mojo knob. I need more of those on my pedals! :lol:

Oooooh, you like the mojo knob? Did you see my BSIAB II build? It come equipt with an oversized Mojo knob so you can adjust it with you toe. I think I am going to patent the "big toe Mojo knob mod"

those builds are sickeningly well done. mine are aluminum boxes stuffed with wires (yes, stuffed) and labeled in sharpie. excellent build!
