Been cold turkey a while now... busy with life and stuff, as you do
Two firsts, my first pedaltrain clone! lol. (This thing is seriously lightweight!)

And my first actual tubescreamer clone (which I really like)
TS-9, No o/p buffer, 3-way eq sw and 2-way clipping

Obligatory guts... vero ftw!

Very nice builds. I love the natural finish on the pedal with the those knobs.. fits perfectly. Are you going to put a finish on the pedal board or leave it raw?
Cody
I agree, with those knobs this one is a real winner.
Man that looks great, and vero mojo! Used about 10.00 worth of wire though. :D love the board.
Yay! Corey's off the wagon! :D
Nice looking build. How does the lack of an output buffer affect things? (It seems to be more common to leave off the input buffer).

Thanks Cody! I think I might lacquer the pedalboard, I kinda like the wood finish. :D

Hey Jon! ;D
My understanding is that it doesn't make much difference, but I pretty much just vero'ed one of IVIarks sweet layouts and liked the sound so it stuck. (So, dunno really.) I recommend the EQ mod... got the idea from BeavisAudio (http://www.beavisaudio.com/Projects/ScreamerLab/), and experimented a little... ended up switching from 27n to 49n to 127n using an on-off-on and 3 caps. I use all 3 settings, depnding on the guitar/amp. This one will be staying on the pedalboard!
I already complimented the pedal, so now I'm commenting to say that your dog is friggin' adorable. Or whoever's dog is in your profile pic, anyway!
Looks beautiful! How do you do the graphics/get that finish anyways? It looks sweet!
Good stuff man! That pedal train look tight!

If your check out the amz son of screamer ( or a Timmy ), the transistor buffers are omitted. I think the input and output buffers were used in conjunction with the jfet switching. If you are using true bypass you can omit them.

Hey Jon thanks! Just decal paper put through a laser printer... really easy and comes in every colour as long as it's black ;)

Thanks for this, yes I had a read thru RG Keens article on the screamers after Jon's question.
Hey Corey, looks really cool. Good to see you around!
I agree, really glad to see you back! You were pretty much the first person to comment on one of my build reports back in the day.
I like how this looks a lot. Did you sand that enclosure any before you decaled it? I may use a similar look on an upcoming build...

Hey Bret, thanks yes I used a belt sander, it keeps all the grain the same direction. Then I did one spray coat of clear, applied decals, finished with a couple more top coats. I should take a better pic, the grain of the sanding really catches the light on certain angles. Nice to see you too mate :D

That belt sander definitely makes it stand out! I couldn't figure it out but I knew you did something extra.
Congrats on breaking the drought. The pedal board and the pedal look great.
Are those Eagle knobs or something else? I like the look of those.
Cool, what wood did you use for the board...pine?
