The Truth About Tube Screamers

Re: The Truth About Tube Screamers

I don't ever feel the need to convert to true bypass on the series! Just change R12 in your TS5 to 620K and then plug your TS5 into your amp and you'll see you have nice unity gain between the pedal on and off....Don't waste your time doing that unless you plan on building a TS from scratch via one of the DIY websites!

Roger that. I'm gonna move this potato bug to a new case and change the switch to something reliable while I'm soldering in the new R12.

Thanks for the directions.

That resistor change will give you better unity gain between your on and off settings by changing impedence a bit....You could just as easily build yourself a nice 808/TS9 clone via JD's site...General Guitar Gadgets...Check this out.I'd be more than happy to help you out if you needed it during the build.
