Is it based on the TS9 circuit, or is it a total different approach, like the klone?
There are a lot of YATS pedals on the market, with just some additional or changed resistors...
I have to agree with ElectricDruid. If you compare your pedal directly to the TS9, even if it sounds different, your subconscious will associate it with the Ts9 sound. Unless it's a total different sounding effect (delay, phaser).
The sound is quite nice, are you using standard tuning?
Most of the pedals that sound good for down tuned stuff, sound different with standard tuning. It would be interesting to see how it sounds when your sound is not as heavy.
If you want to fit the battery in the 1590a box, I would suggest checking this thread:

Some builders have already done it, with the circuit on the side wall of the box and the battery on the other side.
It's a different approach, it has 2 different gain stages, hence the boost knob and the drive knob, and no level knob. It's soft clipping diodes, like the ts9, but that's all it has in common with it, the TS uses the gain stage with the diodes for the drive control, mine use it for the boost, the TS uses the other stage for the tone, mine for the drive, the tone in mine is passive (big muff style but with different frequencies and without the dips and the bumps), no level knob (I found it useless in this case), if this means that's based on the TS, then even the boss ds1 is based on the TS having a dual opamp and the same knobs as the TS.
I automatically associated it with the ts9 just because I'm not good to label pedals, so to me it's an overdrive, since THE overdrive is the TS, it was easy to compare the 2, but in reality it's more than an overdrive, it has much more gain and the boost can change a lot, so I really don't know how to call it
Actually I'm using 7 strings drop A, but on a six strings (no high E string), so it's quite like standard tuning, but I'm not the best guitar player, this pedal needs someone who's capable of various genre and soloing as well, that's why I'll have some friends showcase it for me, so you'll hear all the possibilities this thing has.
I also came to the conclusion to put the pcb on the side, but I've used a veroboard to build this prototype and didn't bother to measure it first, so it's too big to be put on the side, well, I'll use bigger enclosures for the final products anyway, so no room problems!
Have you listened to how it sounds on bass as well? I don't know each and every effect that's being made, but from what I know I can tell this pedal is something simple still with lots of possibilities, while most of the classic pedals are famous and used for just one thing, one sound that's what made them famous, and that's it, I went for versatility instead, that's why the tone knob has that ridiculous response on the highs but still doesn't add all the harsh and fizzines like other effects do, plus the overall EQ has been thought especially for a use in the studio, so it's kinda already high and low passed to work in a mix, which is something I've never heard in other pedals.
Ok, I'm obviously a little biased, it's my creation, so... but I've received great feedbacks from people who heard it live and tried it on an actual amps, people who knows their pedals told me this sounds great and wanna buy it, so I'm a little pumped about it
Anyway, it'd be great if more people here would give me their opinion on this, like you guys already did, I see lots of visits to this thread and lots of plays on the video, but still no comments whatsoever (beside yours here, and one on the guitar video).
Come on, don't be shy!!!
