Tube screamer build report

[spiderman2812]

Well i finally got the new trannies for my ggg tube screamer since i fried the other ones cuz the pin out was flip flopped! It sounds really nice i decided to do the mods off the wah mods pages to get a deeper fatter tone and it sounds great! I think i might sell my stock ts808 with the tv mod and build me a stock tube screamer because they seem to sound real well cascaded into each other. Thanks for helping me trouble shoot and learn a little about this . Thanks kevin

Nice work Kevin !
The thing you'll notice about a DIY TS next to a commercial one, is how much more "open"
the sound is, without having all that fet switching in there ( effects the signal path in a not good way )
The buffers are useful in these things though.
If you're happy with it, I say sell the other and build another
You can always add diode switch etc, and tweak to taste and your own "rig"
Cool ....
MM.

Before you go cascading your TS, stick in a larger gain pot or better still, have two gain pots in series. At extreme settings you'll probably get oscillation, but I really like the sound of the TS with more!
