All user reviews of 5/5 for the Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer

Bê should clear up a misunderstanding, some believe that this is the model "Vintage" but it is no longer available as it is "Vintage", this is a reissue of TS9 Ibanez, presented on the market around 1980. This then raises a second misunderstanding, that the price as a vintage model is trading, so, double the original price specified here.

Having said that, following the model for Vintage, sorry but there's no ad hoc item.

Tubescreamer, it is aptly named, a transistor amp, it sounds almost lamp on a Vox AC30, it becomes even more interesting. A true overdrive a rare finesse.
Analog electronics well designed, so silent. PSU making industry, Jack IN / OUT jack.

UTILIZATION

You throw the manual, however, on an "original" long ago lost it, except music maniacs. You branches and you play.

SOUND QUALITY

A Wha used with Original CryBaby, a phaser Guyatone PS-OO7 found today, a Korg AX1500, a VOX AC30 74 years. Instrument: a Les Paul Custom BlackBeauty 68 or Stat 89 Plus Gold Lace Sensor.

Whether with the LP or the Stat, quickly found his happiness. Some may find the config above a little snob, I can not help it, with 30 years of guitar, I have accumulated and I have kept only the best.
That said, if the TS9 indifferent to the metal with the addition of Korg in series, some might change their minds.

OVERALL OPINION

I own two, the oldest since she was released, around 80, I do not remember exactly. Strangely, it was originally, an integrated circuit type JRC2043DD (the first 200 000 were equipped with this circuit). Some swear by the JRC4558D, however, the sound of this version is just as interesting. For good measure, I soldered the 2043, I replaced an integrated circuit support, I bought a JRC4558D and I welded a support, it can compare the result with each circuit. The second comes from the 4558D, there is no difference between the two pedals equipped with the same circuit.

I tried a lot of pedals before this one and never really find what I wanted, when I plugged in, it was love at first sight.

A particular use is a trip with a TS9 + Boss CH1 Super Chorus, a small speaker sony amplifée and Start. No bulky and super sound.

sold between 200 and 250 € on average, not a chance. It is of course possible to modify a reissue but it must replace several components condos, resistors, and know how to handle the soldering iron. However, purists argue that it comes close and some 90% of the original model. It's like a test-bed for high-end HIFI!

I recently tried a reissue of the material quoted above is very different, it sounds more "synthetic" I did not like, for cons I've tried a modified reissue, the original circuit, 4 capacitors and one or two resistors have been replaced: it sounds rather like my original. This change is very popular in the States.

Excellent acting, single use, robust and affordable prices indniablement trs in terms of its quality.
The sound of the natural saturation of analog lampes.Effet repection the nuances of the game
To boost grain and get more Submitted saturation, various solutions remember:
TS9 is a second branch SERIES is a compressor / sustainer upstream of the TS9 or the activation of the saturation of the amplifier in addition to the TS9.
I use it with an amp and tlcaster lamps.
Perfect to play the repertoire of Santana, Hendrix, J Winter, Rory Gallagher, Poppa Chubby, Larry Carlton, Mike Stern ...

UTILIZATION

Absolute simplicity

SOUND QUALITY

The sound of the lights in a box indestructible.
Should any solid body guitar

OVERALL OPINION

I MODEL, which is the last of the old rplique MODELS.
Fabulous

A transistor pedal. Overdrive trs type, built to last at least a man's life.
In short, buttons and a switch to pide, a solid construction and jacks. A PDAL what

1 Button to gain, to a level compared to the clear sound and a tone to color the sound.

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple as a three pedals knobs.
The rglages are trs prcis and progressive. The gain as any mini, you can really pile the caller prs for the sound you want (not like my other pedals lumberjack).
Tone really affects the sound and allows as much boost in crunch that color the sound.

In short, all the elements and the quality of the tube are scram l.

SOUND QUALITY

What a slap! For years I was looking for that sound. Can not find it with cranberry crunch of my pramps. A little too much, or too little gain, is not as pretty ... And I reois I branch, I turn 3 knobs and boom! SOUND! the real.
I do not know what the original and have 808 more, but personally, I have the perfect sound, that I had in my head and not in the hands.

OVERALL OPINION

PDAL solid and sound pretty syrupy, somewhat lo-fi and many overtones, spicy and sometimes unexpected.

Although sr, everybody thinks that everybody knows, but it is not true, the pedals is not for the bourrinage. It is used to boost the sound without adding saturation of solo passages for example, a booster of his lamps so that they saturate pramp naturally and faster, or have a mild overdrive that rounded sound and color.
Eg a quick sample: tonal 13:00, 11:00 ET gain a Level at 15:00:

Gnialissime, trs trs pretty bte to his well-built hard to beat ...
... Oh I forgot, AO 4558 does not change the sound, do not be fooled ... especially in the case of a disto o obj is of the dirty sound ... color could make a spcial IC is gommme. The 4558 was chosen because it silent t cheap ... same for different versions of TS with condos and Resistors ... designers / industrialization have put what was in store .. 22k 47k ald in a circuit does not change (from a filter).

OVERALL OPINION

To buy the closed eyes

Classic overdrive pedal
A little more than the switch named Q1 (quiet one) that avoids the "click" when you activate the pedal. A little disconcerting at first, you always wonder if the effect is well underway, but found.

UTILIZATION

Setting without difficulty.
The tone knob affects the high frequencies but also the media (really impressive!)
The level and overdrive knobs are progressive. No big peaks in saturation.
A pedal that has in the stomach and has the merit of being used as a simple boost.

SOUND QUALITY

On its side in the open swimming greenday, Gary Moore, SRV etc. ....
A good overdrive virile without being too thick or runny own very brief.
From blues to heavy rock through to modern pop, it fits perfectly. The sound palette is more than adequate for a single pedal, the more it works wonders in the coupling to the crunch of my vox.
For a more roots, the eldest of 808 seems more appropriate.
I play with a TV on a vox ac15cc1x. At the intake sustain this pedal has nothing to envy to that of my amp lamp. The behavior based attack, volume, etc ... is staggering. They are hidden when the lights ??????

OVERALL OPINION

A pedal mythical and timeless telling me the seller. For once, what is one trying not m'enfumer. After some say it's a sound that is found on half of the rock albums. Of course but it's so good.
I owned a Marshall blues breaker 2, ben 30 euros more for is not ch @ £ § I resold without regrets but then not even a hint of nostalgia.

See more in any faocn trs trs is simple.

UTILIZATION

Like nothing too hard.

SOUND QUALITY

Here there are two schools in my opinion.

There is much talk of the TS9, but consider ...

Basically, I wanted something that could have given me a cot at the edge channel of my amp dj saturated.

The TS9 is clearly oriented blues, the sound is round, warm, is a marvel of Contents in overdrive. Rank of top class, she MRIT.

But something bothered me, it lacks a little bite, always rounded ca did not suit me.

-----

If I may, I made the comparison of sd1, which has more rpondu my expectations. The design of the two pedals is equivalent, a diffrence prs one is symmetric, the other an asymmetrical clipping (sd1).

Significantly more edge and bite of a sd1. My marshall ador is more lively and incisive, my sound is mute on the net notemment. It remains in the School of overdrive but much higher share of the TDCA on the SRV.

OVERALL OPINION

So this is nikel pedals if you want a low trs, a smooth and warm overdrive for phrases blues e tremble.
But if you want something that makes fishing more, turn to other models of more aggressive.

-Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer
Very nice color

UTILIZATION

Super easy to adjust, to connect, engage and 10/10

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal has a very mellow and sweet to the ears, the sound of the guitar is guaranteed. Despite a modest gain that goes from blue to rock, the sustain is amazing. I have a boss sd-1 overdrive, which I thought was already a good seed, but now it's even better now.
Really, the sound quality is impeccable and deserves full marks.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had three days, and I suggest anyone looking for a blues and rock her. It is not given a 110 euros but you will not be disappointed, this is THE overdrive pedal.

So it's a pedal overdrive / crunch good for the blues, it simulates the lamp on a tube amp makes it really good.
The connection is that of a pedal "normal": Entry in, out, and 9v adapter jack.
The only criticism one could make him that at the diode: it must really be over to see if it is on or not but hey it's a detail.
9 for the diode

UTILIZATION

So the config is super suimple three knobs you turn and there are direct sound.
The manual is sufficiently clear that a simple piece of paper that explains how you plug a pedal but good given the simplicity of the pedal is not needed.

SOUND QUALITY

While the sound is amazing for me ... to play a blues or hard rock is impeccable, I play with a ibanez is mounted Di Marzio and Seymour is a strat us deluxe + fender hot rod deluxe, with two guitars the sound is excellent, with the ibanez is very smooth and soft, with the fender it is drier, but still slamming the soft texture.
My favorite settings: the overdrive in three quarters, the tone and volume 3 has a half: you get a sound to AC / DC ...

OVERALL OPINION

I tried qque pedals before buying this one, but none gave me that sound.
For me this pedal is well worth the 110 euros that I paid
If it again I will do it with eyes closed.

Overdrive pedal (the lights) Analog ...
9V battery or adapter not included ...

UTILIZATION

Three potentiometers: DRIVE, volume and tone ...
easy to quickly find a good sound ...

SOUND QUALITY

Sound hot as it is an imitation of a grain of lights!
I use it with a guitar and this is top for those who can not afford a tube amp ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and I am completely satisfied ... For his sixties THE PEDAL is in overdrive! J'uitilise also a vox big ben overdrive coupled with the pedal and the sustain and sound are from hell!
This is the best overdrive pedal on the market in my opinion ... The price / quality ratio is excellent compared to vox pedals including an inexpensive, less efficient!
I would do this choice without any problems and I advise all fans of the sixties!

Overdrive in a metal box strong enough ...
Some use it as a boost in their level plaant bottom and gain lightweight ...

UTILIZATION

No need for manual .. there are three knob.
I wanted depending on the volume level, the gain depending on their background and I voullais, I set the Tone (tone). and go .. trs we arrive quickly at the sound you want ...

SOUND QUALITY

So it's the perfect ... Many say that there is no power and not enough gain .. These people have clearly not understood that this was an OVERDRIVE ... trs trs sound is warm ... it's great as his ... truly outstanding!
I use it with the gain substance and Tone 10:00 ..

OVERALL OPINION

I tried standard pedals before that the ... I was looking for in a distortion Ralite base but I fell in love with the TS-9 ... so I took the overdrive ... I use it mostly for rhythm and solo all calm and keep my nanmoins MT-2 for solos shred more.

I referrer that choice without hsiter

Analogue distortion pedals restoring vintage tube sound!

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple! Drive: rglage the level of distortion, level: control output volume and rglage bass / treble!
No need for manual is simple enough to understand!

SOUND QUALITY

The sound coming out of the pedals sound good returns lamp!
I use it often (because I possde the Vox Tonelab from home) but I use it mostly with a Start 'followed by a peavey deltablues derrire! It shuffled the magic! )
The crunch sound that can be achieved is superb!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 or 4 months!
Jadore the crunch but for a big distortion pedals is not too much of it to choose!
The ratio quality price is reasonable trs in my exprience and I do it again with this choice without hsitation!

Three level tone knobs drive ... What it There's more simple.Analogoque Obviously it has to be loved

UTILIZATION

The manual is good for rcup.L 'edition sound ?????????? see bin

SOUND QUALITY

I put him on October 1 Because this is all about the pedals of a MULTI ON amp lamps, may have pushed up the ass of an amplifier that saturates and is lightweight carrment crazy may have pushed up the ass of another distortion at all and it merveilleux.Bref bon.En way you put it into clean channel with a Start and you will have the sound of''no matter the amp SRV''et .

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two days, so much to me there are 2 steals weeks after a gig.je have paid $ 128.00 canadiens.rapport quality and price on bin is 10 10

PDAL, 1982, trs solid and reliable.

Usage trs simple. Volume, gain, tone.

UTILIZATION

Between the tone and gain, his range of quite diverse, even if the color is easily identifiable.

SOUND QUALITY

Use with a telecaster custom 1978 or a Gibson SG Special and a Peavey amp heirloom 130w lamps (6L6).

His CHARACTERISTICS crmeux, crunchy typ beautiful medium, severe withdrawal. A very nice combination with tlcaster.

However, its a little too "compressquot, sometimes. I use the overdrive for the Heritage of the dynamics that lack the TS for some rhythmic dbrides 9.
The nuances of the game are respected, but not dynamic. This can be an advantage or inconvnient according to what research.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 1986.

The report qualitprix? I do not know, I bought almost nothing the era.

The sound is typical and unique, recognizable among all the crunch / overdrive. A must have in its range.

Without competition.

This is an analog overdrive manufactured by Maxon Ibanez licensed (Series 9) from 1981 to 1984.C 'is the ultimate blues rock of Stevie Ray Vaughan. I own one of 81 with the JRC2043 and one of the 84 JRC4558D.

UTILIZATION

It is easily the sound from the three pots of Drive Level and Tone.
The manual is useless.

SOUND QUALITY

This is the standard overdrive.
I have two strat US (Start Plus Deluxe 1994 and an Eric Johnson) and the sound is terrible on each.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a reissue of 1993 (also made by Maxon), which sound almost identical.
So it's been 15 years since this jOperation overdrive.
The value for money is very good.

Analog Overdrive legendary gain, tone and volume in a rugged.

UTILIZATION

Nothing is easier to use, just use his ears and his little fingers of modern Homo sapiens.

SOUND QUALITY

We love it or hate it, but it is an effect of overdrive of the most pleasant to hear and use. It compresses but not too low it cuts that could possibly drooling, and highlights the media while providing a rich, warm harmonic color. I use it with stratocaster and telecaster in any of my tube amps always with great pleasure.

OVERALL OPINION

This is the first effects pedal that I bought this almost two years. At the time the choice was certainly much smaller than today. Usually it was played between the TS9, the Bluesbreaker - I like well enough as the passage - and the Boss OD1 which is not bad but I find cooler. Meanwhile I had the opportunity to test a whole bunch of other OD pedals all more interesting than others but generally the grain and the behavior of the TS9 I do day to never bored or disappointed . I particularly like his way of respecting the liquid side and slamming the grain of single-coil pickups, while providing some compression. The value for money for me is final!
