Grön FET Skreemah

[Vallhagen]

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), 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.

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

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.

Are you going to use your Grön FET Skreemah to rock out on some old-school Ebba Grön tunes?

Häng Gud!!!!

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

Very nice though, sure it sounds great!

Thanx all!

"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!
