Re: Tubescreamer TS-5 question
Thanks Erik, good info. I knew some of that, but I didn't know exactly how to say it.
I went and googled the Tubescreamer and the SD-1 schematics to see what was the differences. I'm not the best at reading schematics, but I could plainly see that even though the SD-1 is using practicially (if not outright copying) the same circuit as the Tubescreamer, there are vast differences in the values of a lot of the components.
I had never used a Tubescreamer, but because I always hear that the SD-1 is based on (some have even called it a clone; doesn't make sense) I figured that the two pedals would sound more similar than they do.
