All these mods take the roots of the classic tube screamer to the limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe booster acts as a volume boost after the main drive as in the original, but it won’t be difficult to add an order flipper switch if you want to reverse the order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis project uses 2 3PDT for the on\/off switches of the main drive and the booster. Also, a DPDT footswitch is required for the gain channel control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eControls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Voice: The clipping voices determine how transparent and open or tight and crunchy the distortion is.
