DIY Tubescreamer: It Works!

I was away for a week but managed to finish my GeneralGuitarGadgets.com ITS8 pedal kit. Imagine my joy when I plugged it in and it lit up & worked! I played it only a short while so as not to keep the kids up, but this pedal is very cool. Nice and versatile & a good complement to my OCD. And I can’t say enough good things about GGG’s excellent instructions. Next I’ll have to decorate it a bit and record some soundclips. Man this DIY bug is powerful stuff..I hope it’s contagious! :)

DIY Tube Screamer

I’ve been working on a bunch of music lately, some original stuff for our church play and some new tunes for a duet project that’s just getting off the ground.  But last month I caught a sale over at General Guitar Gadgets and picked up this ITS8 kit plus the boutique mod kit.  Yep, all those parts go in that little box (well, most of ‘em, anyway).  The ITS8 is their Tube Screamer copy.

I don’t know when I’ll get to it, but I had to share this exhilirating (and somewhat intimidating) array of parts just waiting to feed my amp & ears some punchy & jangly goodness!

Fortunately the instructions at General Guitar Gadgets seem quite good.  I had been thinking about getting a boost pedal, but I got so much more!  :)
