From the project
This repo contains the gerber and BOM files (ready for PCB production) for distortion guitar pedal similar to Ibanez TS9
A faithful PCB recreation of the legendary Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer overdrive pedal, designed for through-hole DIY assembly.
The Tube Screamer is one of the most iconic guitar overdrive pedals ever made, used by Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, Gary Moore, and countless others. This project provides a fully verified PCB layout based on the original TS-808 schematic, ready to order from any PCB manufacturer (JLCPCB, PCBWay, etc.).
