Surprisingly enough, this is my first tubescreamer pedal of any kind.  Not sure why I never built one before, but this one is pretty great.

The board is from m-Kresol and is a fantastic layout.  Thanks again!

Bonus point to anyone that recognizes the robot.  :-)



Not sure I'm happy with the knobs, but they're all I had that matched and fit at the time.  Probably switch them out next time I place an order.

Pretty pleased with how the etch turned out on this one.  I had some struggles getting the transfer to work the last couple times, but tried some new paper that worked much, much better.  :-)

Turned out great! Happy to see that someone built it and even more so that you like the sound (credit for that isn't mine at all, but I take it as a bonus).

GREAT looking etch.  I am a big fan of geometric shapes around controls.  The work around the bandwidth and clipping controls.

Also, 50+ completed and boxed builds in, and I still have yet to build a Tube Screamer.

Thanks... though, most of the etch mask/design was just lifted straight from m-Kresol's art/drill template, so I can't take credit for that. 
I just changed the font on the labels and added robots.

Looks great and you've just reminded me I have one of these to build.  God knows when I'll get to it.

Adding robots is always a good idea.

Thank you!  You did a great job on the layout and art/drill template.  It was very easy to get this together and up and running.  I appreciate it!

Felix,   How can we get one of these boards?
It looks fantastic.

Great etch! The whole thing looks fantastic. I know the robot from somewhere, it's itching at my brain and driving me crazy.

It from the disc art on Astro Creep 2000.

I did a batch of 10 boards or so when I finished the layout and sold them once verified. Unfortunately, I don't have any left. If there's more interested I can have another batch made.

I know I would be in for a few boards.    Any interest from other members on this amazing layout?
