Low-budget edition of the TS9, which at that time was no longer produced.
-Analog technology.
Connectivity-usual: jack guitar.
-Very cheap plastic shell (this pedal was given at the time, it was part of the series soundtank).. Pretty crappy plastic knobs.
It all sounds very fragile for stage use intense.

UTILIZATION

-Three knobs: level, tone, simple as that you gain.plus meurs.les two major config:
A fully-volume / low gain: clean boost
2-low volume / gain a background: overdrive
recess any other setting is between these two extrême.mais all this is very accessible.

SOUND QUALITY

-Effect efficace.Dans very family-roots super overdrive light is very good.
Ma config: tube amp reissue Deluxe Reverb 65 + stratocaster classic series 50 and 60 mark knopfler.pas or other effects (apart from the reverb of the amp.).
-The sounds, the guitar is not "buried" under tons of gain means the type of guitar in question, a Start is a Start, a TV a TV etc ...
in clean boost is a (fairly accurately) the SRV on his solo "my little china girl" by David Bowie is bursting with dynamics, the notes are shrill with long sustain.
At max gain, it was the history of blues and rock music, authentic sounds that can cradifié in the registers according to the treble or bass tone control.
Excellent for lead, riffs and a bit messy in powerchords.
So a game alternating rhythmic counterpoint riffs and arrangements becomes important here.
Nothing but good for fans of blues-rock.
NB: not able to compare it with the TS

OVERALL OPINION

-I play with for 10 years, is a natural extension of my little blackface (it is always connctée.).
It allows me to saturate the tube amp at low volumes with its creamy and enjoyable.
In short, with a Start and a blackface is the dream team. (But it should be even better with the TS9 or 808 ... °
