I used this green screamer guy on another TS-808 a couple of years ago (I think with a GGG board). That pedal was too noisy, so when it came time to get around to another one I used a Green Bean board. This one is so much quieter, and sounds so much better even with the same diode setup (1n914 and diffused red LEDs). The caps I used in this one were a little better. That might have something to do with it. I also put this one into a 1590b rather than the 125b I had the old one in.

Looks great. The Green Bean is an awesome board. Finished mine a couple of weeks ago and I really like it.
Hey I was gonna say it looks great! Now I don't know what to say.
Just curious, which caps are a little better and which are not a little better?
I used higher quality caps for the electrolytics at C11 and C13 and I went with a monolythic cap in C5 that was a rated 100n that was actually reading 112n consistently. The 120n I had was a huge film "chicklet" version and was a cheapo, so I didn't want to use it (was also reading 84n, so I didn't trust it).
Oh yeah! Love the graphic man... great job
Great looking build, really dig the graphics. The black washers on the switches are a nice touch. The Green Bean is a nice project.
