Other Tube Screamer Like Circuits - ZW44



Published
DIY - Tube Screamer like effect ... well, actually, kind of a clone of Boss Super Overdrive - MXR Zakk Wylde overdrive.

The video covers differences between TS808, SD-1 and ZW44 circuits. I went on then to mod the pedal - there is a "secret" switch inside the pedal that I made accessible.

Here's the accompanying post with all the schematic diagrams and useful links:
