Tube Screaming Ultra

This is a build I just completed for someone.  It is 4mm acrylic with the graphics dye sublimated on the back side then laser cut.  The mouth lights up when the unit is on.  We are working on improving the dye sub but it is close.

That is a really cool look for the aesthetic!  I’ve not really seen a whole of folks using acrylic like that to integrate the enclosure with the pedal art.  Looks extremely clean and pro.  I really like it!  The green screaming face kind of reminds me of the Pickle Rick episode of Rick and Morty lol.

Thank you!  I just uploaded another one I did for someone

I’m pretty new to pedal building, so if this is the wrong place to ask my question, I would appreciate some guidance as to where I should have posted this.

I am just completing a build of this excellent board, and decided to build it close to the original TS 808. The build instructions are confusing. In several places, it refers to using a B500K GAIN control, but nowhere is a component labeled Gain. There is Drive, there is Level, and there is Tone. Obviously, the tone control is not it, so it’s either Level or Drive. In my years in electronics, I have seen all three terms used synonymously, so which is the Gain control? Is it the Level or is it the Drive? If the Drive control is the Gain control, the BOM already calls for a B500K pot, so my guess is that the author used Drive and Gain synonymously, but I hate guessing, and I don’t want to experiment.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could clarify this for me, so I can complete the project.

Thanks in advance – Bud

Drive and Gain are both used to mean the same thing.

Thanks, Barry, for clearing that up.
