Great post DVM. I was pretty much able to follow that even though I am electronically challenged. Looking forward to hearing that bad boy too.
But I think DUH Zonkin Yellow Screamer might be more appropriate.

I've got the Zonkin' Yellow Screamer (TM) all wired together. All that's left to do is to drill the holes in the new casing, label it and reassemble. Here's a photo of the current state of the project. The "guts" of the unit are mounted back in the TS clone stock enclosure (I did this so that I could test it), but the two main "design enhancements" are hanging out either side. I also include the new casing in the photo, to show the size & color.
On the left you can see a small piece of perfboard with some components soldered to it, wired to a DPDT toggle switch. This is the 3-way clipping mode selector--"stock", "hot" and "cool".
One the right side is a 6-position rotary switch that allows you to select normal or high gain modes, each with three bass distortion levels--"normal" (the stock mid-range hump), "rumble" (more bass), and "thunder" (still more). The perfboard contains the resistors & caps to do that.
Everything works according to plan, and it sounds pretty amazing to me! Of course, I may not be completely impartial!! I'll record a clip or two in a couple of days and post it here.
