Here is my test run of my latest build.
Stock form aside from the tusq nut. Doing this as I will be adding my custom pickups tomorrow and wanted something to compare it to along with letting you all hear what a paulownia LP kit sounds like.
Recorded with Garage Band with basic "classic clean & classic crunch" settings.
More to follow.

Nice be interesting to here the comparison
wow sounds really clean and bright, nice, look forward to the comparison with the new pups
Well here is the updated recording. Keep in mind this is a garage band amp not a real one - sounds different.
Anyhow crank it up on a good stereo or with some decent headphones and compare the difference.

I need to record the crunch version again because the output was different.
Pickup differences: stock neck 11K, my wind 7.76K, stock bridge 12K, mine 8.25K. Finally found a bridge pickup I like.
I will post an updated sound recording shortly. Will actually record with my iPhone in front of my amp instead of using the garage band setup. It is a clearer more true representation of how it all sounds.
I have finally finished my tube screamer clone and I love it.
Here it is minus a paint job.

That box looks pretty cool. Did you source the parts yourself or was it a kit?
I purchased a tonepad circuit card (took a while to come from the states), grabbed components from jaycar and did the rest at home.
I have since located a better parts supplier that should bring costs down to around $40 delivered depending on the amp chip required.
Not bad for a home brewed TS808 tube screamer clone with an extra mod to give you a boost for distortion.
Check out prices online for a tube screamer or a clone.
nice work on the pedal Kane. You pups sound warmer and a bit fuller - nice work
Thanks Stan,
I find that the amps on the garage band setup seem to add a little mush. The guitar loses some clarity somehow. I am keen to re-record just with my iPhone and my real amp (and the new stomp box). That is until I get an irig or something.
Cheers
Well I got a spare moment to record with my setup just with the good old iphone.
Guitar - LP1P with both pickups in action.
Amp - Ashton GA clean channel at low volume.
TS808 with Drive 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% then with boost mod active.
Tone knob at 90% and Level around 30%

Next recording is with the TS clone with following setup:
Drive at 85%, Tone 90% and Level 30%.
Guitar is clean to begin with, neck pickup first, both then bridge. Repeated with TS on and finally again with boost on.

Sorry for the repetition and lower quality recording.
