Pedal Build: Tube Screamer Clone

I’ve never owned a tube screamer. I was never drawn towards them. The closest I’ve ever gotten, was when I played through a Double Barrel by JHS. I didn’t like it. If felt as though the bass was cut. I just recently learned that Stevie Ray Vaughan used to stack two in his signal path. That fact alone spiked my curiosity. I just got all the parts today, except for the RC4558 chip. I’m expecting that to show up tomorrow.

I was excited to work on a pedal today. I sort of rushed through drilling all the holes. The result of my haste is wonky holes. I’m not too happy with how the holes are spaced. I might buy a new enclosure and re-case this pedal, if I like the way this pedal sounds.
