TSE 808 - BETA (NO GUI)

[JeffHanneman82]

hey guys how do you set the 808 to have a massive tone?
I usually turn down the gain and raise up the volume and the tone

[gchirag]

I assume you are using Peavey or Mesa Amp?

You put the 808 in front of the amp as a preamp as boost the volume all the way, tone knob on 6 and drive knob on 1 and half.

Ok, I'm back! Let's skin this bitch.

Any requests for this one? I was thinking just a simple box with some knobs lined up on the top and three foot switches. The foot switches switch between the 3 cirquit types. You had 3 different components inside you wanted to switch between if I remember correctly?

How about a box with the three knobs and 3-way toggle switch to change the modes? Kinda like the layout in this pic, with the switch placed under the balance knob.

Wouldn't work, where do I put all the knobs? There are 5 knobs

hi nice to see you're back!
I'd say drop the switchable diode function, the effect is so small that it isn't noticable unless you look at a frequency analyzer..
I'm looking forward to see the end result

Here is a sketch of what I was thinking. It will require you to use your imagination and see how the final version will look like



There will only be one switch in the middle for switching between the stereo and mono modes.

You can't do much with the TS since it's so simple, just a box. I did a new more luxurious logo for it to spice it up. I will make some cooler knobs for it.

Any ideas before I start drawing it? Do you like the idea or should I scrap it?

[onqel]

the design on the new logo looks fantastic, I like it very much!
the design looks good also, but could you test how it would look if you placed the "808" text in the lower left/right corner to make room for the switch in the middle..? or make a header or something to place the mono/stereo selection... just my thoughts
i will take another look when i get home from work

[frankzappa]

Nice that you like the logo, I might change the "wings" around it though. Yeah this sucks, I think I'll make a computer style header where you can set the input/output/stero/mono and do a stompbox like the original with it's knobs/buttons. Make all the extra stuff that's not on the real box be in the header like I did with the Zvex Nano. Have patience though, I'm really lazy when I get home from work

Speaking of which, is this still a going concern, or did you scrap it?
