Josh - yeah, in that socket where it says "Amp", I guess there is a chip that goes there and they have varied in production style over time. Supposedly (this is just from reading up on the 808 since you introduced it to me in that Metalfest thread) the older chips are far better than the newer ones (I got no clue). I do know that many of the "reissues" of pedals I have heard in recent years do sound poor when compared to their elders. Should I buy an original chip, then, and we can put it in there? Also can you make the knobs less like MXR knobs and maybe we can pick out a slimmer style for them? Can you email me prices for you to make the pedal?

The op amps do not play the most major role in the sound. Cool thing is you can change op amps nice and easy. Some prefer the opriginal op amps that came with the original ts808's, and some prefer the hi fi texas instruments versions that came out at a later date. Both were used in production in the pedals over the years. 60% of people will not hear too much of a difference in the op amp. Most of the major role in the sound is done in the gain and clipping stages. Thats where you can get technical and make the thing mid crazy, smooth, more gain etc etc. The knobs are pretty much default and easy/cheap for me to get. The poles on the pots are standard size, so you can use most amp and guitar nobs on them if you decide you want something different. I am sure for a few bucks more (literally just the cost of new knobs) I can throw on something different. I generally price match the ibanez ts808. Normally they go for 159 + shipping, but I'll pay the shipping. So for the price of a regular ts808 you get a hand wired ts808 built to your specs. I also warranty all my work too so thats not a worry. 1 year against manufacturer defects. If you break the thing or fry it with the wrong power supply or something, I'll also fix it dirt cheap since you did the favor of buying it from me.
