Looks great as always! What's the Daily Driver sound like? I'm not familiar with that one.

Thanks :)

It's basicaly a fully modded tube screamer in a layout designed for 1590A use, OftenFX is Saxonthefest at BYOC.

So you can litteraly build any tube screamer with this layout aswell, doing the Si/Lifted/LED clipping switch mod is already on the pcb.

Kudos to Matt for this awesome layout  8)

Thanks, this stack is a 4558D on a 4580D, there's just something about the mids it gives that i like a lot.

I think this is the TS that i built to date that pleases my ear the most, i do not use these overdrive as an overdrive, with the gain all down.

But this time around, with the lifted option, the gain control now have a use, it just boosts even more, the LED mode is pretty similar to the Lifted, i choose LED that had a really high fvd, so you have to hit really hard to have them clipping, wich is cool because i have a heavy picking hand.

It also have a W20K tone pot and MPSA18 instead of 2N7000, tone cap values have also so been played a bit to retain low end in the affected sound, wich is a lack for me on stock TS. When i play a pinched harmonic on the low B string i like to hear is overtones.
