Next Step up from a Tube Screamer

[Blast9]

*ding ding*

That thing looks amazing!

Nice lookin pedal Miles! Are the switches across the top for the diodes? Which diodes do you get to choose from ??

[maestromiles]

Thanks!

The switches across the top are indeed for the diodes.

Here we go, in order:

1N914 1N4001 Ge. LED

1N914 1N4001 Ge. LED


Sorry, I'm not sure of the Ge. diodes code.

I love how it looks, kinda spacey.

I built another TS808 clone, but with the mods that I really liked out of the UltraScreamer.

It can switch between 1N914's (stock, by the way) and LEDs.
And also the high pass filter freq select switch.

I'm thinking I will build another with just LED diodes. They are awesome, and thats all I seem to be using, but I thought it would be kinda cool to switch between stock and LED's. Stock is pretty damn good by they way, but definitely try some LED's.

Here it is: (I don't have a name for it yet.)

I called L&M's and told them I was looking for "Super Hard On" and the guy told me to get a life, hung up. Guess I should have put ZVEX in front of that.........


Nice looking box maestromiles. Let's hear how she sounds

I'm not much for pedals but I just picked up a Fulltone OCD and that thing rocks. It has a serious tone. It kills my old boss overdrive.

YES, i am friends with the builder and NO i do not get the gear for free/discount and yes i give him lots of text for his site...but this really IS the best OD/distortion ever:

i know the site looks nuts and the pedal is barely out of the prototype stage and NOT cheap...but it is the best i've used by FAR.

i also like the barber direct drive but this thing is transparent in ways that the barber, ts, OCD (also very nice), and all the other ones i've tried are not. incredible. also has huge low end if you want it.

Pedals I know and love...and use:

Fulltone Fulldrive II...Nice dual boost function, kicks up your rhythm tone, then takes it OTT for leads. Seems to have good days and bad says for some reason...hmmm

Ibanez TS-10...'80's Tube Screamer modded by AnalogMan to 808 specs. Very nice, a little bass shy. The typical mid-boost TS vibe.

Ibanez Fat Cat...just bought this in Danbury, CT for $35.00. Ibanez' version of The Rat, I like it.

Ibanez PDS1...programmable overdrive, rare and cool

Keely TIme Machine Boost...Excellent overdrive with no buzzy artifacts.

Exotic AC Boost and RC Boost...The RC is most transparent, used by John Fogerty. The AC boost is more Tube Screameresqe, with a bumped up mid-range.

Ibanez Mostortion...Very cool. 3-band EQ and a Mosfet chip distortion. Like a Tube Screamer with better EQ options.

[Nu-tra]

Sounds like you need a ibanez SD9. The SD9 starts where the tube screamer ends.

Do you guys think I should gang two tubescreamers together(like SRV did) or go for a different pedal altogether like a modded Boss DS-1 or something? So what's the next step up from a tubescreamer......two tubescreamers or something else? Thanks,
