Dai Hirokawa	Re: Inside the Turbo Tube Screamer Hi, got a used one recently--anyway here goes: "TS9"(Normal) mode(for comparison): .047uF mylar w/two small signal Si diodes "+" mode: 0.22uF polarized electrolytic w/four small signal Si diodes--two for the top of the waveform, two for bottom (these look the same as the ones used for the normal setting) "Hot" mode: 1uF polarized electrolytic w/pair of LEDs(w/a 470k in parallel w/the LEDs) "Turbo" mode: 2.2uF polarized electrolytic w/no diodes(seemed odd but it does look open) -the 4.7k and 51k are unchanged for all modes (Should be right, but any corrections welcome) Dai Hirokawa

Re: Inside the Turbo Tube Screamer

Hi, got a used one recently--anyway here goes:

"TS9"(Normal) mode(for comparison): .047uF mylar w/two small signal Si diodes

"+" mode: 0.22uF polarized electrolytic w/four small signal Si diodes--two for the top of the waveform, two for bottom (these look the same as the ones used for the normal setting)

"Hot" mode: 1uF polarized electrolytic w/pair of LEDs(w/a 470k in parallel w/the LEDs)

"Turbo" mode: 2.2uF polarized electrolytic w/no diodes(seemed odd but it does look open)

-the 4.7k and 51k are unchanged for all modes

(Should be right, but any corrections welcome)
