Hey there everyone...

So - I am waiting on the parts for my first pedal build, which would be a Tube Screamer.  I can't wait to get it all together.

I have been reading various sites all over the web, and I came across an article that says the Sparkle Drive is pretty much a Tube Screamer with a clean boost pot.  For all of those people out there with the mojo, a) is this true?  and b) how would I mod my TS to include that clean boost pot?  (FYI, I ordered the pre-etched PCB from TonePad, and all parts from Small Bear.)

Thanks for reading, and I'm glad to be a part of the pedal modding collective!

Raakakakakaa!

the sparkledrive is pretty much a TS with the ability to blend between clean and distorted tones.  You probably won't be able to cram a sparkledrive crkt into a tonepad TS board.  Search for sprinkledrive as well, it's a sparkledrive workalike.
