Just starting to plan this one. A TS-808 on stripboard. Will probably add the two mods from my OD-2 as well. One switch to select between the standard TS mid-range hump (cuts open 6th string by around 20% according to Jack Orman) and a flatter EQ. The other switch will change clipping diodes: standard TS-808 clipping, no clipping (makes it a dirty boost), and a third clipping option. Often this one uses red LEDs, but my experiments with the OD-2 showed that you have to drive the TS very hard before red LEDs start to clip much at all, so a lot of the time they sound the same as the no-clip option unless you run the gain cranked (or have much hotter pickups than I do). So I might do asymmetric clipping with the same 1N4148s that the standard TS uses.

The enclosure will of course be green. I just don't know what to call it.

That last one would be a good label for the EQ switch Get it? Huh?

Man, I must be tired. Time to play guitar.
