    Tubescreamer overdrive in much better than the reissues!
    True bypass millennium: no signal loss, the lowest noise possible!

    UTILIZATION

    For use with guitar or bass (with the switch that AMZ enlve a capacity of the circuit - the 473).

    Switch LED: LED, clean, for my part 3 Germanium and Silicon 1n1914 classic symmetrical.
    AMZ Switch: Bass Boost; Switch clean (no diode), 3 Ge diodes, 2 silicon

    My changes according to the site of GGG: TS 808 / / ITS8 (both Resistors SPECIFICATIONS who diffrencient the TS 9), store expensive mods (replaced by 51k 10k 4k7 replaced by 1k, 224 Tage in tone replaced by 184, I left the 473 in place without replacing the 104), 3 and Ge 2 Si diodes…

    NOTE *** November 2009: the pedals again, with no changes except the switch diodes (If 3 or 2 Si). GENIALEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
    Today I realize that it fully respects the grain of the guitar, yes, PERFECTLY! Complment is the perfect boost precisely because it does not change the dynamics of origin (and m me so well it compresses the signal seems homogne between chords and solos).

    SOUND QUALITY

    Overdrive, boost, bass compressor if necessary, has virtually ALL

    OVERALL OPINION

    Built for 5 months, I use every day
    a lamp with a dj pramp rrronrrrronnnnnnnnnnnnn
    I prfre the two silicon diodes in non-boostgt;> Guitar
    Bass boost mode of Ge diodes and 3>>> low (a crumbling the windows!)

    T says it all!
    Several amendments are proposed: I have a personal TL072, I put the two modes of cliping (diffrent diodes) and bass boost.

    UTILIZATION

    A simple config with the modifications it fits many guitars, amps and situations

    SOUND QUALITY

    Both of my config: telecaster lite ash + Blues Junior or half body Ibanez + BJ
    in both cases is obtained from trs good sound: from blues to rock see rock trs bridge pickup with the lite ash

    the bass boost and a rel more to give more consistency to her, the choice of diodes for saturation and trs well.

    OVERALL OPINION

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for the past 1.5 years etj'en trs'm happy. I damaged the original OP Amp (JRC 4558) and I put what I had on hand (a TL072). In my opinion your exact rock is much (more gain) but I notice when I complterai recommends JRC.

    This is a good DIY pedals on the report quality unbeatable price with the added bonus of allowing mods to understand how to work as an OD (and a soldering iron!)

    I tried a TS9 course (and overpriced), I find that the sound is at least as Russian and more we have a little more room to tweak.

    UTILIZATION

    Mostly rock, pop, hard rock see if the guitar pickups with high output. The pedal has more gain than a TS.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Just crazy. I have version Tuned mode jackie. I have a 3-position switch that lets you add / remove low frequencies, or leave the system unchanged. Just crazy sound, a good guitar amp + good + Ze Pedal = The 70's rock sound.

    OVERALL OPINION

    DIY your soldering iron! ZE pedal to have, great grain, compliance and signal dynamics, robust. Xotic …

    DIY your soldering iron! ZE pedal to have, great grain, compliance and signal dynamics, robust. Xotic BB preamp I have, both pedals are level! Except that one you're happy and ruin, the other she'll ruin it and you're even happier.

    Analog soft overdrive that sounds like the original.
    Connections: In/out jack connectors. Power supply input.

    UTILIZATION

    Very easy use with only three knobs: tone, drive and level... no surprises!

    SOUND QUALITY

    Super overdrive to play blues or even soft rock songs. Very good to push a tube amp a bit further. It sounds awesome with a Strat and a Les Paul (studio and P90). I tested it with a Marshall TSL 602, a Laney LC 50, a Fender Hot Rod and two Hugues and Kettner Tube 50 and Attax 50: it sounds good with every single amp!!

    Sometimes it sounds "tiny" with my Strat. The 3-way switch is also very good to use the pedal as a clean booster (if you set the drive control almost at 0).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using it for 3 months. The setting is easy. I previously tested many other overdrive pedals (BOSS Japan, Fulltone, modern Ibanez...). It's the best one.
    Unbeatable value for money (if you assemble it yourself).
    I chose this brand again to make me a DIY multi-effect.
