Hot rodded 808 I made today. Acid etched box, fat switch for bass boost, clipping options, and better tone control.

Like the etching, will have to figure out how to do that one day.

Those knobs are pretty cool. Where did they come from?

As far as better tone control most of the "good stuff" is bunched up at one end of the spectrum. A TS usually has a 25k pot. Dropping that value to a 2 or 5k helps a ton. From there is has clipping options, one side of the 3 way is 914 diodes, lift in mid position, and combo Ge and green led in the last position.
I let the enclosure "cook" a bit too long. The other one of the same pattern came out like this.

I'll have to remember that about the tone control, had no idea! The Ge/led combo sounds interesting too.

Just to be more anal, the TS has a 20kG pot for the tone control. Other taper pots are going to bunch up a lot more.
