If you want to bump the output to be able to achieve unity gain, then yes, its the thing to do:)

I didn't know you spoke Japanese.......

1S1588 clippers

They sound different to me. And I like using them in the original circuits that used them. Some old Boss pedals, and TS808's. Oh and of course the Paragon hard clippers.

It's called "huffing flux" just for your information.....

They look different depending on the angle of the pic. Sometimes it looks like a blue cap sometimes it looks like a band. Sometimes it's hard to see the middle band. This is the only place I will buy them from. I don't have to guess if they're legit or not. Now whether they're in spec or not...

DO IT!!!!

Hey @Bobb Lobblaw Welcome to the zoo:) This pedal already has a charge pump and runs at 18v internally.

Ok this calls for a "BlackHat Sheepy" collab. Hmmm....something swirly and whooshy, and maybe that also goes RRRRRRR.......:)

Always happy to share. As a stand alone overdrive, the TS808 and its variants invariably have a very recognizable low to medium gain sound. But try stacking it into another overdrive use it to push an amp into a higher level of drive. That's where the magic of the Tube Screamer comes in and...

The Dual OpAmp version was only shipped for a very little while. Less than a year as I recall. @aion has a great write up of the history on his version called the "Stratosphere". Side by side with my LGSM the difference is slight but there. This is about as vintage as TS808 as you can get, Of...

It's pretty awesome isn't it? I can't believe I wrote this off for years because of the lack of the VCA's. And I am SO GLAD that @Robert bought out SmallBear's stock of the CoolAudio V2159's and are making them available for sale in the shop. This has become by far my favorite compressor. You...

Yah already using a TL022.

Well, I'll be the first to throw this up. It's not "DONE" as the distortion side isn't working and I haven't had the chance to figure it out. But since we're looking at the behavior of the phasing I thought I'd focus on that. I initially biased according to the build doc, -1.35v but I wound up...

Sorry dude, I didn't realize that @bean did a new layout for the Touchstone. I love mine and would build it in a 125b if I had to.
