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.
