Just finished this last week. Works exactly as expected. I like the tone I get out of it although I’ve never bothered to listen to a real TS8. I prefer the jumpers inside the case vs. switches. Once I played with them I knew I was unlikely to change them once set.

I’ve been playing around with mine for a few days. This board made a great pedal, and for me the switches add a lot of variety and tweakability. I made a stock 808 build and will probably try a modded version at some point. The documentation could be better, but luckily there are great online communities for unexperienced pedal builders like myself.
