So this is one pedal pcb and two others from other seller.

The Duocast is one of the best preamp/drives/distortion/fuzz (I mean I don't know if this is ok) I've had, for this one I auditioned a pair of harvested japanese ge transistor with and Hfe of 100, but the sound had a lot of highs that I didn't like it, so it has now a good old soviet transistor with 50 hfe, it is a mp42b, now is amazing because distortion, boost, overdrive and a fuzz.

I really was into the pink color, now I'm not loving the knobs because it looks like a "protein", I might change it later, I also removed the charge pump that was really easy.

Next is this Klone, I have this since dec 23, but I just had the need to finish it since my mosky one died, it sounds good, but there is something missing, the look is amazing, I didn't use the faceplate since the enclosure is so pretty, I also need to test some other diodes but now this is all I have.

So last one, a quick history, this is like the sixth or seventh tubescreamer I've built from the same pcb, I sold the previous ones and always helped me to get some money since the boom of the TS10, also one of it was enough to pay me a visa so as you can tell it is one of my favorites, but this time I want something different and perhaps I have to save some money to get an actual TS10 but who knows...

SO here's the beast, I mean I did think that regular green will look cool but I prefer the Army green (btw it is from Tayda)

for this one I used a good old 4558dd and, you can call me crazy, but sounds different, I'm not really sure why but yeah, and the mod now instead of the leds has a pair of chinese j201 based on a guy on reddit and perhaps this snake oil but I like it better than the leds lol

I do actually want to say thanks to @drgonzo1969 who gently provided me the 2sk30 and some other goodies!!

Sorry for all the writing and happy valentines!!!
