Yeah, we need some gut shots and verified schematic(s).

Yes, I've tried TS circuits with symmetric and asymmetric clipping as well as silicon and germanium and a combination2 and with LEDs...different combinations. It'd be interested to know the difference between the Forton TS9 and Fortin 808. The TS9 does have the 808 MODs for increased volume...

Yeah, their stuff isn't Chinese junk. No wonder China wants Taiwan, so their shit can actually work!! Yeah, good stuff. Use them.

Just one more thing on the LEDs from Tayda I used on this....as I said, datasheet suggests Vf of 2.0-2.2V and this pedal sounded great....but I also used the very same 3mm LEDs in the Fridman clone pedals (BE-OD BE-OD DLX) and A-B'ed them with actual Friedman pedals and the results...

It's not so much about the gain as the tone. Hopefully I got the design/schematic correct (we'll see), but the pedal just sounds huge and tight. You get a little fir on the last last bit (9-10) on the drive knob, but again....tight and wide. I also A-B'ed it with one of my modded TS's where I...

We'll wait for Buggs to release the official schematic, but I'm going thru the design, and I'm really amazed how close it is to just an ordinary TS9 with the 808-mod and 100R on R14 and 10k on R15 and all pots the same, etc. What I was expecting was some changes to the clipping circuit...check...

Yeah, I just used these from Tayda, Red Diffused, 3mm, Forward voltage@IF=20mA: 2.0-2.2V, Luminous intensity(MCD): 4,000 - 6,000 - https://www.taydaelectronics.com/leds/round-leds/3mm-leds/led-3mm-red.html I'd like to see the schematic and compare it to the original TS-9 and see what exactly...

Twisted it up after work. WOW! Best OD in my opinion! Tight, lots of versatility in controls, all usable, and quiet. A must have imo.

Just use the 3mm red from Tayda Electronics. I got the board this week and twisted it up after work. WOW! Best Overdrive I have played in my opinion! Enjoy!

Got a board this week, so will be twisting it up and checking out this weekend. No information of schematic, so not sure how different from the original TS9/808, but we'll see and find out shortly I assume!

From Michigan?!?? Uses a an LM313H and MA856, but on the graphics, you put "313" and "586", which the 586 would be in err and BOTH are Area Codes in Michigan metro Detroit!! :O lol

I think I may have figured it out after playing around for about 4hrs during the Super Bowl! There were a few problems...the 1/4" cables seemed to have problems, so cut and soldered it myself. I had a couple cables hooked up to the power supply, but one, I had modified and positive and negative...

Thanks soo much for the feedback guy. I'm making breakfast, have grocery shopping to do, then will delve back into this and based on your feedback. I'll also look at like I said, some ideas I have, like the diode across the coil and possibly a cap (.047uF) like done on amps with channels relay...

no. there were 3 issues... 1. is the grounding hooked up right and all jacks connected and then go back to the bard ground? Wondering if there is a ground loop somewhere. 2. the popping when engaged/disengaged 3. If you watch the video, even though the FX IN and OUT were jumped, there was a...

I just looked at Buggs' schematic and the footswitch interrupts the connection between NE555 pin 2, and one side of R3 (100k resistor) and positive side of C1 (1u) cap. not sure where you're seeing a switch hooked up to ground?!??

"Why are you using an LED where the transistor should go?" ....because that is how the circuit is set up and direction from Buggs, that if using an LED, pull the transistor and put in that place to ground! It's labelled on the back of the PCB "A" for Anode and "K" for Cathode!! "I would try it...

{UP}

Anything??

Ok Buggs, built up a completely new board (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NzGZUeRNpwnt1S9-dPEFQQZZroIboLlc/view?usp=sharing) as I originally purchased 8 boards from ya. This time, nothing socketed, so all components directly soldered. I'm powering the unit with an MXR Iso-Brick...

k. Thanks soo much for getting back. Let me know when email is current. Thanks. Yeah, it's Saturday, so after breakfast, I'm going to be getting on this first-thing and can report back. Thanks for letting me know the forum is a primary place to post for support also. Yeah, that's what I...
