Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on where you are and when you watch this. Today I'd like to show you something a bit more with the honorable Tubescreamer (™) circuit. As most know, the ts808 (™) is a decently expensive pedal (and a great one). While outlining some mods for my new book coming out, this is one of them that will be in the book: Turning the Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive into a Ibanez Tubescreamer TS808 (™) type circuit, with about $5-10 in parts, a soldering iron, some patience, and the will to break the warranty on the Boss pedal.

Love these type of videos. I recently just finished modding my Fender Pro Junior to have a treble and bass knob as well as putting the negative feedback loop into the grid rather than the cathode where it goes on the schematic. Also with a pot to adjust it ;) More mod videos please!!!! Share the knowledge my man! Love from Canada :D

parts I get from local electronics shops here in bengkulu, Sumatra. Also theres a lot of repair guys who here who fix tv/radios (people still get stuff repaired here)..i sometimes get cool salvaged parts. Also I travel a fair bit to Singapore..there's a place called sim lim tower, which is worth a visit..basically like highrise building full of electronics shops. I don't have an SD-1..but i'm definitely gonna build an 808..if I can hunt down an JRC4558.. How "critical" to the sound is the opamp?? what will you get if you were to use another like tl062/72/ne5532..which i have in my bin right now??

Richard C Yeah & "which" valve/tube amp you put it b4. I love my SD - 1 b4 el power tubes to really kick that British Marshall, Vox sound. Totally different from the American 6v6 Fender sound but I'll put an SD -1 there too to "give" the girl a rougher, meaner crunch to the gain channel. I love Fenders & there's places where nothing else will do, or "be right but their gain sound isn't my favourit & I usually like to harden her up with an SD -1 but it's all subjective anyway. What I like, others would hate. I'm right though just so you know.

@RhythmMethodBand 6 лет назад

I use this modified SD-1 as a mids/drive/volume solo boost stacked after my rhythm overdrive. Volume almost at noon, Tone around 1:00, and Drive around 10:30. 1. Remove C6. This will open the sound up a bit. 2. Change R2 from 470k to 1Meg. This increases the input impedance. 3. Create a switch to toggle the C3 capacitor between 0.047uf and 0.1uf. This increases the bass response when toggled to 0.1uf. Use the 0.1uf for single coil pickups and the 0.047uf for humbuckers.

@ParaBellum2024 6 лет назад

Great video Brian, although I must confess I usually find it difficult to tell the difference between pedals on RU-vid comparison videos. Anyway, I have a Guyatone PS-015 overdrive that I bought new in the early 80s - still works perfectly, and I've just looked inside it, to find that it has a "TL4558" chip. Google tells me that this is rare, so by extension, it must sound better than other chips... I'm tempted to try a new TS9 alongside the Guyatone, to see if I can discern any differences. The Guyatone does have separate bass and treble controls, so it may offer more versatility, but I won't be surprised if the only difference is that my wallet is slightly emptier!

Hey Brian. What are your thoughts on Boss moving more and more toward smd construction? For example the DS-1 and BD-2 are now built using smd techniques.

@auntjenifer7774 6 лет назад

TheSphericalGuy * What does "SMT" building technicas mean ?

@voxpathfinder15r 6 лет назад

I believe he meant, SMD, surface mount devices. Personally, I think it sucks because it makes it damn near impossible to fix because everything is so small - as well, I believe that different manufactured parts like capacitors impart a difference in tone other than their stated capacitance, and SMD have some of the worst tone imo.

@wampler_pedals 6 лет назад

There's good and bad things. It allows for a more complicated circuit, plus there are more parts choices since through hole is being obsoleted. I don't like mods on them as much unless you're replacing one surface mount part for another, but I see a lot of people who mod pedals using through hole parts tacked onto the small pads made for surface mount. In my experience, this can lead to problems with broken solder joints many times. Also, it's definitely harder to see... I have to use a magnifying glass much of the time for SMD, but I can remove and replace parts way quicker. Sound wise, SMD can sound good or bad depending on layout and the exact parts used.

@siege1969 6 лет назад

Wampler Pedals love these videos. I'm guessing you don't like to bad mouth other pedal suppliers but I'd LOVE to see you highlight problems with SMD by showing the layout and demoing the problem.

Let's be honest: a TS is not a magically inspiring piece of gear, like other expansive, highly sought after pedals. It is, however, a VERY useful easy to handle tool because of its mid bump.

To my ears the sd1 works way better with that tele and deluxe

@bigsby19 4 года назад

Great video, so informative. I’m plucking up the courage to try and build a kit pedal first then try something like this.

@giacomosabattini5839 6 лет назад

That's amazing, only thing I was expecting you to try the SD1 once modified. Thanks

No... NO!!! Do not change an SD-1 into a TS808!!! The SD-1 is a better pedal!!! OK... fair disclosure... I've had an SD-1 on my pedal board forever. It's my favorite dirt pedal of all time. Try this: buy TWO SD-1's, change one into a TS808 and play the other. You'll still be money ahead, and you just might end up falling in love with the SD-1! :o)

ThePacerX or do a tricked out mod that keeps the sd-1 close to stock tonewise but aows you to take out/change clipping and adjust tone.

Appreciate the video! I have a stock sd-1, which is one of my all-time favourites. I don't want to mess with that one, so I am going to start hunting for a used sd-1 that I can do this to!

Just buy a $20 Behringer TO800 Vintage Tube Overdrive.

@dagony7383 5 лет назад

Been saying that for years, the behringer and joyo vintage overdrive sound better than the tube Screamer for under $30

@douglasbarroso5296 4 года назад

@@dagony7383 The Nux Overdrive OD 3 is awesome also!

@BluesLicks101 6 лет назад

Just buy a Joyo Vintage Overdrive and be done with it! Less money, and LOT less work.

@dagony7383 5 лет назад

Thank you, been telling people that for years. The joyo and behringer clones sound better than the tube Screamer for under $30

@MegaAngel996 4 года назад

I tried one and it was noisy in my signal chain. Bad monkey fit the bill and budget.

@dagony7383 4 года назад

Better meaning price wise!!

@jeradrhone8773 4 года назад

Yes! I was super surprised when i kicked mine on for the first time, plus its not as flimsy as some other pedals in its price range. Love mine.

Just happened to have seen a Boss ODsd1 at my local store reduced; had been sitting around in the back room and forgotten about as it was a dud. But the guy who got it out didn't know this. Anyway, it was only £35 so.....got it home to find out it was screaming....looking up stuff came across an old gentleman who fixes amps very kindly shows you what he does and teaches schematics on line. I've had it for months now......so then thought I'd take a look to see if there was a schematic I could read and up you came........So yes.......very interested in these types of videos....have been watching you anyways.......So thank you....... I own three pedal that's all. Interested in building an amp some time. Much appreciated. Thank you so much Limechillo from England.

@Guitardruid 6 лет назад

Cool video, I have a boss SD-1 and love it as it is, I’m buying a TS9 at the end of the month. I’m thinking of getting a cheap secondhand SD-1 and modifying it the way you have just for fun, looking forward to seeing more videos like this. Happy New Year to you.
