Tube Screamer 808 Guitar PedalBuilding a guitar pedal identical to an Ibanez 808 tube screamer took a bit of research, and I made a couple changes to the original design. I made my pedal with a true bypass, whereas the original has a JFET bypass switch. The true bypass should help my tone when the pedal is off. I used a modern JNR4558 op-amp, whereas some claim that only the chips from the 1980's can provide the "perfect" tube screamer sound. The circuit was rather large, but I'm very happy with the sound and setup.
