The TS808 is without a doubt the most popular overdrive circuit ever. SRV may have been the first to make it famous, but he didn't do half as much for the pedal's notoriety as the hundreds of thousands of overdrives to come out afterwards that were really just clones of the TS808. 99.9% of all the overdrives out there, both boutique and mass produced, are e ither a straight up clone of the TS808 or a modified version of it. The B.Y.O.C. screamer clone kit comes with everything you need to build a complete pedal to the exact specs of the TS808 including the JRC4558D op amp AND a ton of parts for modifications. We just added a bunch of new stuff to the overdrive kit. We compiled a list of ALL the mods that were being done to the TS circuit....everything that boutique builders and professional modders were doing....and "underground" mods that are circulating the DIY internet community, but have yet to really surface commercially. And we added all those parts and instructions to the B.Y.O.C. kit. Extra Modification components: * all caps have been upgraded to run safely at anywhere between 9v and 18v. No need to add a charge pump like some boutique overdrives. More voltage = more headroom. * B2k tone pot for improved taper * Op amp socket for easy experimentation * Texas instruments RC4558P chip. Some say this is the real "808" chip * TLC2272 chip. Much much higher fidelity than the 4558 series. You can ONLY use this chip with 9V. Use the 4558's if you're gonna use more than 9v. * 2 x 1uf Mallory film caps to replace electrolytics in signal path. * 2 x .15uf tatalums for improved tone knob frequency. * .22uf cap to reduce mid hump and increase bass response. * .1uf cap to reduce mid hump and increase bass response, but not as much as the .22uf * 620k resistor for higher input impedence * 20k resistor for less distortion when you turn the drive knob all the way down without diminishing maximum distortion. * 1.5k resistor for more distortion * 2.7k resistor for more distortion but not too "over the top" * 470ohm and 100k resistors to build to TS9 specs. * extra 1N914 diode for experimentation with clipping or BOSS SD-1 clipping * 3 x 1N4001 diodes for experimentation with asymmetrical clipping * 3 x 3mm red LEDs for experimentation with clipping. These are said to give the pedal a marshall-like overdrive crunch. * 3 x 1N34A germanium diods for experimentation with clipping. These are said to give the pedal a smoother tube-like distortion with more saturation, but slightly less output * a spool of copper desoldering braid. How else are you gonna do all these mods? |
