So yesterday I finished a Tubescreamer 808 Clone, and today i recordet a clip.
The amps on low volume so the tubes isn´t cranked at all, since i couldn´t play louder right now.
Its recorded with a SM57, no EQ just a little reverb.
It would be nice to get some reviews because i dont´t have much experience in how a "real" 808 sounds.

Sound-Clip here! (http://www.nordpolenexpress.se/davetronix/ts/tsklipp1.mp3)

Heres a pic of it!
The paint and decals are still to come.

Sounds like SRV to me.  It must be a strat, a tube screamer and some serious chops.  Nice work.  It sounds great.

Hey that's an awful good amp there! I'm sure your pedal is working fine but I bet almost any pedal would sound good with that rig.

Check it. http://elmwood.se (http://elmwood.se)

Damn, now you made me itch for a TS. I hate you. Not negatively though.

Unrelated, sorry for hijacking the thread:
Can anyone say if the tone of Son of Screamer suffers because of such simplifications or does it preserve all of the nice SRV (well, with a nice amp and geetar obviously)? I'm just lazy, that's all.

To Jim's question,

My Son of Screamer builds are remarkably close to my TS9DX (I don't have and 808 so its all I can compare it to).  Not to knock SpuFuz's build because it rocks, but personally, I don't think there is much mojo in the buffers.   I have some sound clips comparing the two, I just don't know where or how to post them.  Send me a message with your e-mail and I can send them to you.

Its just sand-blasted (is that what its called in english), anyway you know when you blow sand at a surface you get that finish.
And then theres some layers with clear-varnish.  ;D
