Thinking maybe using this circuit as a guideline. Make a similar circuit with out tone (leave that up to spitty) and tying it all together in one circuit. Just have an extra control as a pre gain. Might clean up in one circuit and all grounded in same box. Now I wish I had left that second one breadboarded! Already put it on pcb.

no idea what circuit that is....6 diodes hmmmm....

obviously a clipper of some sort....

anyway, try a breaboarded tube screamer in front as suggested

,  i havent a spare breadboard at the mo, otherwise i would...

i was going to stick a pregain pot on the new version of the spitty, footswitchable....hmmmmm....

see how it goes...

A circuit with no resistors? Looks like its just got caps and diodes, unless all the grey "diodes" are actually resistors. Orange diodes seem to be wired cathode to cathode too which seems odd to me.

TLC2272... hmm :icon_neutral: Only a gain and tone control?  Well, it ain't a tube screamer, pretty sure of that. :icon_wink:
Doesn't matter what you did to get it... If it sounds good, then it is good!

I'd bank on more parts on copper side, besides the pots. but intriguing [sp] as is.

Well there are a couple tiny things on top.

Has Wat printed on PCB and front of case, Zum Versterke at input, and Klampf Do Nol! On output. Tried German to english but Google wouldn't play nice.

Resistors. "103" is I think 10K (10,000).

> Zum Versterke

Verstarker is Amplifier. "Zum" seems to be "To the".

Think I will skip trying to breadboard this in front of the spit.
I jammed for a while with it in front of the SF yesterday and
I could not get it to sound like I did that time before. Not to mention That even with the Gain all the way down I can still hear noise. Click it off and the room is dead silent. This is with the Spitfire running wide open with Gain to the max!
If I don't hit a string......there is no sound. This is with 2 half stacks cranked up almost half way. The Spit amazed me once again.!

aha....smd stuff....thats a mad build...

have you breaded up a tube screamer?...i will when i get a mo...

I've got to get back to finishing the graphics!  Been putting it off to finish pedal board and looper. I've been reading up on waterslide and it sounds like a pain in the butt. Would it be possible to flip image , laser print on label sticker paper backing,  and iron on enclosure like when etching a pcb? Then clear coat it. Has anyone ever tried this? I have to do something similar so that i can get the eye holes drilled out and in the shape of the skull sockets. Then acitone it off so i can fill in the holes with resin.

tbh that looks cooler than 'proper' artwork.

It's a Picaso.  Lol
Well, waterslide it is then. :icon_cry:
