Title: Tubescreamer with amp parts?
Post by: Aharon on March 17, 2004, 05:06:03 PM
Going through my stash of effects I'm planning to rebuild the earlier ones. Since I got a little better at it the early builds make me ,well....a little ashamed(lol).
I was wondering if building a TS for example using parts usually found in amps,like orange drops or Mallory 150 caps, 1% 1/2W metal resistors,silver mica pF caps and the like would make an improvement.
Just a thought......or am I getting a little weird here?.Of course I would have to make a bigger PCB. :idea:  :?:

no idea how it would sound, but you could probably sell it for HUGE money on ebay with a few positive posts on H-C

"it's got MOJO, man.. ORANGE DROP CAPS.. and not just ANY orange drop caps.. but Eric Johnson once shopped at the store where these were bought!!"

And, Eric Johnson's eyes actually looked upon the package that those caps came in...
