I have one we could look at, it's all smd though and vox sands some of the chips.

You can bet its YATS though. As a point of fact I built my first Timmy a few days ago. I put it off since many YouTube clips made it sound bleh.  It's way different in person. The ice 9 is similar in a lot of ways but the Timmy is superior IMO.

Edit: knowing joes old gear setup it very we'll could be a ds1 derivative

Timmy rocks :o)

My new go-to for overdriving my tube amp.  Doesn't 'do it all', but I find it's great in place of a TS for that purpose. If you want distortion out of a pedal, there are better builds, but I have yet to find an actual overdrive that is as versatile and sounds as good...makes your already awesome tone incredible!
