Much more than a simple booster We all know the Tube Screamer, itís not as if we all have one at home! We have been using it as the best tool to boost an already crunched amp. Gain at 0, maxed volume and here we go! We cut through the mix, we are in the spotlight and we avoid dribbling on the spectrum of other bandmates. There are of course other combinations and tonal experimentations to be used from this schematic, and thatís what weíre going to study! Over the past few years, our team has analyzed more than a hundred schematics inspired by the OD-808. Thanks to this knowledge base, we have now created a new pedal, called the Ego Driver. It is capable of reproducing all these vintage sounds, and go even further by creating new ones! Achieving this is in fact quite simple, we focus on the saturation stage and unveil all the keys of its design. In addition, with the Ego Driver and the FX Teacher project, you will be able to create your own Tube Screamer, customize it and understand how to better adjust it in order to optimize your tone! The FX Teacher line is designed and manufactured in France, in Anasoundsí workshops and under the same conditions than the other pedal lines, with the same quality and guarantee. The pedals are delivered, assembled and tuned with the teamís favorite components and internal settings. No hassle, just plug it in and play! A selection of components to be mounted on the terminal blocks come with the pedal, in order to customize it as much as possible with just a screwdriver! No need for soldering iron or extra tools. Even more possibilities The FX Teacher project allows you to go even further in your tone quest. Indeed, you always have the easy-to-access front panel settings, they allow you to quickly adjust your pedal. On the inside, you know our trimpots well, weíre definitely fans of them at Anasounds. These are very fine small adjustments that offer a sound precision worthy of the creator. But this time, on top of all that, we added terminal blocks! They allow components to be easily added and removed with a simple screwdriver. So if you want to change the clipping diode or filter capacitor, then you can! Like you ended upÖ creating your own pedal! Potentiometers
OUT, the output level
GAIN, the OD saturation level
TONE, the filter 808 style Toggle switches
VOICING, in the middle the original tone, at the bottom, the capacitor you chose on the terminal block. At the top, more present bass.
CLIPPING, on top the original 1N914 diodes, at the bottom are the diodes screwed to your terminal block. Terminal blocks
VOICING, only capacitors are screwed on. Depending on the capacitor chosen, we will boost more bass, medium or treble.
DIODES, only diodes are screwed on. It allows to have more or less saturation and different harmonics. Trimpots The following trimpots are used to voicing the effect. When they are turned clockwise, gain is added to the selected frequency band. The effect becomes more saturated and more modern. On the other hand, warmer and more vintage.
BASS, acts on the bass when the voicing switch is up.
CUSTOM, acts on the screwed capacitor to the terminal block when the voicing switch is at the bottom.
