Description

The 8-8 Overdrive DIY build project Kit by UralTone

The UralTone 8-8 Overdrive Kit is a faithful recreation of the legendary TS-808 Tube Screamer, one of the most iconic overdrive pedals ever made for electric guitar. Designed as a DIY build project, it uses the same circuit topology as the original and includes a 4558 dual op-amp and Japanese transistors for authentic Tube Screamer tone. The pedal delivers the classic warm overdrive, smooth clipping, and distinctive midrange boost that guitarists have relied on for decades. High-quality components such as Alpha potentiometers, a 3PDT footswitch, and Switchcraft jacks provide boutique-level reliability and performance. Suitable for both beginners and experienced builders, the kit includes all electronic components required to assemble a fully functional overdrive pedal.
