TS808 clones - Pics.

Seeing as I've just figured out how to get photos up, here is my TS808 clone made by KLD. JRC4558D chip and all. Cost me $70NZD and is probably built stronger than most stuff you'll come across.

It works really well just as a boost (hold that thought.) for my Big Muffs and my OD 3. There will be a Boss BD 2 in the chain next week when it arrives too.

Sorry, this is a boring internet picture, but you get the idea. (Also please excuse the copyright bollocks)



But.
I got bored of looking at a little black box, so I did this to it.



I think it's very appropriate and makes perfect sense.

What do you think?

Haha thats pretty good. Just thinking of all the bad Star Trek quotes (more specifically Scotty quotes) you could do with that.

I'm not big on the Original Series but the the first one that springs to mind is "I'm giving all shes got captian" (must be said in scotish accent). Being a Captian Piccard fan I would also be swapping out "Go" for "Engage".
Maybe someone could give me a hand here, its been a few years...

Engage wouldn't be so bad, really.
Just on the meaning of the word Go., I picked it cuz (well, it fits on the pedal) you either do or don't. None of this deciding whether you want to or not, just... Go! :3

Subtlety has its place though.
That's what compressors are for.
(Is that appropriate?)

Got any gut shots? I like to see how these things look inside. And am I missing something or is that a decal of an engine? A leaf blower? Not sure I see the starship enterprize in that photo. Is this some kind of Rorschach test?

Was heißt Rorschach auf Englisch?

Uhm gut shots I can do for you in a short while. I don't know the first thing about soldering (except don't touch the iron) so I can't tell you off hand if they're p2p... But probably not.

You were close with blower. The picture I stuck on it is a turbocharger. Pictures are always WAY funnier than words.

As for the ol' Enterprise, that was our mate from Perth chucking that in - I never really got into Star Trek.

Here's a fairly comprehensive walk through of it.

The outside, showing proper metal washers - Even EHX use plastic ones.



Underside, and battery door etc.



Battery door open (because this was essential)



Guts time - Notice how thick the case is?



Moar guts



Close up of guts #1



Close up of guts #2



And that's that!

Looks good!
Metal film resistors = quiet!
TLO72 IC = quiet and good clarity
