Latest evolution of my Tubescreamer overdrive.
Now has 4 different levels of bass boost plus 4 different selectable diode clipping configs, plus additional smoothing cap switch to alter the dynamics for the distortion.

I love the wee little daughterboards for your mods.  Is this a premade PCB or did you do this yourself?  Any clips anywhere?

[Al Heeley]

Thanks - this was a home-etched board using the less-than-reliable ironing on laser jet printed paper technique. Took 3 attempts and heat/time settings to get a decent transfer.
Sorry no clips yet, went straight onto my pedalboard for gig tonite. Will be using it for bass tonite though this pedal works great on bass and lead.
So far fave sound is with ge/si diode mix, extra smoothing on, phat boost on 0.18. Loads to fiddle with

Active mixer pedal / Passive AB box / Passive mono-to-stereo combiner box.

It was my first enclosure etch so I'm pretty happy with it.

Dual pentode (6AK5) distortion working on 65V.
Found 3 dual output (6,5V AC & 24V AC) wallwarts at a hamfest and I used one for this stompbox.

Haha! Here it's still 20.30hrs... So she will be playing with me this saturday night

Wow, kupfer m, that's fabulous! Incredible design, we need to hear that demo!

Well, this is the first pedal I've built for my own setup this year.. that's sad..
I wanted to go minimalistic with the design. It has been made in a YY enclosure from pedalenclosures.
Anyway, it's the brain of my setup. And well... It's green.

our head is round......

really love that with the brain and all....... makes a great company logo
and the radical distortion is a work of art...........

Fernando, how did you do the etch on what looks like a slanted enclosure? Did you etch the 2 planes separately?

Crazy! Anysound clips?

The problem was to get a slanted iron!

Edit: Nobody seems to note the light bulb shape.. There's a brain, a light bulb... ideas!

kupfer that looks mean! +1 for sound clip!
slade, really nice as usual, what is it? dirt? comp?

As for some sound clips of my pentode stompbox... I have to admit that I'm not a guitar player myself, but I find very amusing to build stompboxes.
I use my stompboxes mainly to make noise with my synths & my computer, for which this tube distortion is well suited.
Sometimes I make a stompbox for a "real musician" 

I can ask my friend, who is in fact a very good guitar player, to record some clips, but until then, sorry, no clips 
I shall post them...

Oh yes..and here's the inside :

Where does that cap for smoothin go? could you post a schematic or layout

It looks great!!!

[Al Heeley]

see the little 150pF cap on the dpdt switch, bottom left? That's wired to the poles of the clipping mode 4-way rotary switch, so it sits in parallel with whatever pair of diodes have been chosen fro the clipping, and it takes a little of the bite off the distortion.
