Hmm. Im following maybe the most longlasting(?) of all diy-trends here, and design my own version of the TS. i did the first one-sided etched version about a year ago (http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=6845.msg58580#msg58580 (http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=6845.msg58580#msg58580)), and just recently i tightened the layout, re-added the clipping switch and made it two-sided.
Again: i started with the madbean open TS project, did some changes (where the most important is buffer change; this one has FET BS170-buffers, BYOC OD2-style), and here it is.
Of course its a fantastic little box, as the TS' always is:)
Lazy handwritten böx-design. In some angles man can read what it sais!
***
I have spare pcb-s if someone is interested. Maybe someone more out there need somewhere to put their BS170-s;) ? But i wont make no big business around this, its not the first nor the most revolutionary Screamer out there.

Cheers!

Hm.
I know you actually think about this stuff, so: Why did you go for the MOSFET buffers? I find them to be particularly dark as source followers, so did you have to make any other changes, for filtering and such? I mean, other than you had a ton of them from the group buy! :)
Nicccce Bengt!
how does it sound in comparison with a TS? a sound test would be great!!
cheers

in all honesty, this design (which is more than a year old...) has very little to do with the group buy... though it suited the time fairly good to box up one more 8)
No i didnt make any specific changes to compensate. I like the slightly darker well-defined sound of the FET buffers. I think the answer to the "why" question is simpler; In the first place (that one year back) i felt like doing a TS with a somehow unique but clean design (few mods and switches), a gift for a friend. So i "borrowed/tried" the FET idea from BYOC and well, i liked the result.
Im not sure if it sounds "better" than the stock TS (or Grean Bean w no mods), but it is... a little bit different.

Thanx Gledison. I think i replied part of your question in prev post.
But yea, i should make (record) an A/B test. I have a Grean Bean built as close as possible to a original TS808.
Cheers
Are you going to use your Grön FET Skreemah to rock out on some old-school Ebba Grön tunes?
Häng Gud!!!! ;D
Cool!
I like it! I didn't even have to look at the title, all I needed to see was the "W20k" pot and I knew what it was :P
Very nice though, sure it sounds great!

"Top Ten Signs You've Built Too Many Pedals..." (I didn't pick that up!)
Bengt, pretty good stuff :) (I'll admit I was expecting a 4049 or something, though!)

No worries;) ... some 4049 will show up in my next build report, so you're home safe!
