Hi,
I want to build a tubescreamer.  Does anyone have a complete parts list and a schematic for an 808 Tubescreamer?  I am new to this and am quite clueless!
Rock on,
Brian   :P

Tou can also check out www.generalguitargadgets.com may I suggest building the Blue Magic instead as I've heard it sounds better than the Tube screamer.

Best of luck

I built the TS-808 at GGG. I am very happy with it. I used 1uF film caps instead of the tantalum caps. The films sound pretty good to my ear - they probably make it sound a little smoother, too. The tantalum caps are supposed to give it a gritty sound according to what I hear. But I can't get those very easily...
