Finally built a tube screamer… I’ve never actually put one together until now… Threw in a clipping switch between stock ,no diodes and infrared LEDs… had to finish up with a cheapo HF iron I had on hand because my station crapped out..

and they are mighty tasty morsels when wrapped with bacon.... It's a tradition around here in september to go Hunt with fam and bring back a bag of them..

if you have solder braid it might be tempting to try... but you'll never get all three pins hot enough at the same time without specialized equipment.. if you have a 3d printer or a buddy with one I have dual gang pot covers downloadable file to print free on thingiverse...

lol..... that's usually how my late night orders show up... giant caps...

good possibility that you have something grounding out between your pots and the pcb.. I see you just have tape and not covers.... the solder will poke through the tape and cause shorts...

@Jonathan1986 start a troubleshooting thread over in troubleshooting.... take clear pics.. and clean your board up if it's full of flux... and people will chime in to give you a hand..... it's likely a mistake and nothing to do with the mods.. they are confirmed " Awesome" and I've built...

i actually ordered some of those last week... should have them in a couple weeks..

Thank's Monk.... Your suggestions are pretty good

Totally... I do need to order some lower gain variants and play around ... Trying to keep the old school nostalgia look with T0-18's though... just love the look of older cans versus the jelly beans

lower than 350 hfe.. lol... low low

BC109C’s….. I can report that I’ve built many of these and every one of them sound pretty dang good… just wish I had some lower gain bc108A to try those

perfect.... i found it right before you replied... by searching..lol whoops

Getting ready to populate the tone generator pcb and I've never ordered smd resistors or capacitors and such... build docs are coming soon...lol... i have no idea what package sizes or whatevs to order so i can start populating this thing.. any help would be appreciated....

Also check your printer settings and make sure it's 100% scaling and 8 1/2" x11" and not A4...

Not at all…. There seems to be no more difference other than a clipping option… it’s ok but not some epiphany

That’s a fine looking build from here….. I suggest you post your own personal build report and don’t hijack mine… Haha just kidding… For real.. be proud and post your own thread. Show your guts and let us razz you a bit… Then later on look up your old build threads to see how far you’ve come...

Diodes are like spices for cooking.. solder in sockets and go experiment!

trim pots? have you adjusted them?

Damn that looks great

just that I know I'm not having to run it really slow and the laser on max power to do the job... now i'm running 60% power and faster cut time
