Questions
How big is the Tube screamer PCB?
It measures 127 × 106.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Tube screamer use?
40 parts, built around the TL072. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Tube screamer KiCad files?
From the fsinapi/tube-screamer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Tube Screamer.kicad_pcb and its schematic Tube Screamer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Tube screamer design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask fsinapi before reusing the design.
