Heavy Screamer

Yet Another Tube Screamer, sure...

This one does something a little different, and is perfect for all you high-gain junkies.

The differences between this and a standard 808 are apparent when running it on its own into a clean amp. Lots more output, more saturation and accentuated upper mids. Where it really does the business is pushing a gainy amp. Here the extra boost and mids start to sing, giving you that tight metal chug.

Supplied with board-mounted pots with round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs).

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is only available with full kits, and won't take a battery . Knobs are not included.
