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!

Does everything said.

UTILIZATION

Ditto

SOUND QUALITY

First, here's my stuff at a glance: GL Guitar, Amp Fender Dyna-Touch series transistor III. The pedals: the sound is typical vintage, I want to say that the crunch is trs good, the sound is "lamp", etc ... But I lay IMMEDIATE because I think its really miss the heat. Indeed, despite a tone knob, and the mdiums are omniprsents I got too ... What a pity! And what frustration!
There are lots of mods (which can now easily obtain the plans on the net) obviating the default really sad! But I'm not handy for a penny. So for those like me attention ... Bosse norm in mdiums, little heat.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a good year.
I do not do it again this election I think this says a little something from me m'empche Sparer ... For the time being.

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

I spend CHARACTERISTICS, dj views and reviews on the previous ones posts

SOUND QUALITY

So I bought 2 years ago that TS-9, the current standard, basic. T have enough of THE FIRST costs, this increases the mdium pedals and lower the bass, not as beautiful as trs saturation, not enough heat (at least the n is not what I expected when you buy).

here is my set:
American Series Stratocaster
Peavey Classic 30
Oddly, the effect 'down low' is less the feel of a transistor amp because I tried it on a 112 bandit, and sounded good. For less well against c'tait the classic 30 .... boosted channel of the amp had more heat.
I speak for a year pass since APRS not in use, I told myself that I did not lose any of the changes do we find on the net (electronic level, it is not difficult, and in addition I am in the game).
I made ​​this change: http://www.tonepad.com/photoessay.asp?photoEssayID=9&sequenceNo=1
I found from this trs good site: http://www.linux-france.org/article/web/egraffin/ts9.php
I prcise I did not find the original circuit, the JRC4558D, I pulled over an equivalent circuit, the RC4558P, closer than the currently used TA75558 factory.
I also use to change the LED in order to set a standard, less consumption and more diffuse (the home ingnieurs ibanez have thought to do well by putting a diode 'lazer', which is powerful but very s directive, so he must be straight in the face to see if it is lighter, which is unusable, especially on scne)

Rsultat races: the bass is back, and the medium are wise they should be o, and suddenly the sound is warm, the rglage the tone is really useful and usable (you can always find some prs's the same as the original, without amendment, by the way to the treble .... personally I'm 2 / 3 to the low and hope it's hot).
Changed everything for me I use almost saturated the channel of the amp, and I can not do without this little frog!

OVERALL OPINION

All dpends of what looks like kind of saturation, in any case I advise to change it, but even at home, otherwise it's really expensive (and not justified my opinion).

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!

Casing solid, the former big switch ... For other CHARACTERISTICS see the reviews below.

Fails may be a 3-band EQ, what we find more and more about the current pedals (AMT etc ...).

UTILIZATION

Trs use simple plug and play. We turn two knobs and it was the sound!

SOUND QUALITY

This small pedals is a killer ... For me two uses idalie:

- On an amp with a distortion transo too cold for you: the TS9 is used as the distortion pedals on the clean channel, we obtain a saturation that comes close to those of vintage tube amps, with excellent dynamic and great music.

- On a full amp tubes: the TS9 is used as a "boost" on the OD channel, SETTING THE dpart: 9am gain, volume 3 hours. It Relva overdrive your amp, but a force! In a mix it passes trs well, but it is discrte is heard, it is both sweet and powerful ... It is a value that sre not likely you dcevoir ... And do not rely on its hull green: it sends the pure lights on at all something crazy!

A combo of all-tube type Peavey Classic 30 Laney VC30 or she will give you three channels under the foot: clean / OD of the amp / OD boosts hormone ...

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent pedals, which are found may be a bit expensive at times (I saw 120, is not it ...). arrter In any case it is a value sre, pedals a must for any self-respecting guitarist. Some will say that the prfrent Maxon TS808 or XXY, with this electronic lment blah blah ... Hmm ... The sound diffrence for me (I may be deaf) is close to 0.

From my point of view one of the best pedals for OD / distortion. I use it for several years and I never think of the CDER.

The following opinion on a TS-9 modified by a small bote Franaise, if you dish that beginners and nanmoins has talent. It's "WORKSHOP MSM" is CALAIS. You will easily find their site on any search engine.
So much for the prsentations, are now entering the heart of the matter.
What is it? Well to change a TS-9 standard replaceable components with some components of better quality or value diffrent to give the grain of a TS-808 vintage ..... and operated the fire god.
Replacement of the original amp oprationnel a JRC4558, add a circuit "bass boost" and a circuit "asymtrique" which gives a different texture to the original sound.
So you say, how a sound? Since it is the main objective of the change '.
A reissue TS-9 sounds good dj unchanged, mine dating of the beginning 2000. With the amendment 'was 4 DIFFERENT sounds underfoot, the original sound much clearer amlior, running the gain knob is more progressive rendering is Dfine. Then thanks to the first switch, a more pchu, the circuit of "bass boost". And to finish with the switch deuxime a kick in the c. ...., humbuckers with a hard sound is fat, soft and can be easily work with the playing of tonal and portards volume.
And when I would have talked about the price of this kit you will all rush to your PC to order ............ a little more patience ........ ..... 15.90.
In these times of crisis is not a good? Dj hear voices chanting, JIMILU prsident. Well do not push it even when.
Add this 10 labor If you are not, like me, specialist in welding. Frankly that's all bnf '.
There are other beasts who make modif 'the pedals, but they are for the majority in the States and the price is more important, then I say bravo les Frenchies!

Sometimes just changing a few basic components and the sound of pedals VTRE CHRIE is thereby enhanced.

I would do without this choice hsiter.

UTILIZATION

Does everything said above.

SOUND QUALITY

Above.

OVERALL OPINION

Above.

I start going, I'll make the comparison with standard TS9 reissue the chip 75,558 and the same with the modification of the chipset jrc4558d Dad and two carbon film Resistors (for purists) that go. It rcent, a date this weekend.

T say everything on the pedals like green frogs, so let's focus on modification and comparison.
Collection's outdoor nothing will change.
Customization side about 4 euros excluding shipping and welding equipment amateur (yes, no more!) Achte when the right components in the right place, especially on the internet and on a German site particulirement well srieux called banzai, but I've said nothing ...
I have done is not easy but feasible, the trick suprme implement consisting of a support chipset instead of the component, and then, 1 / 2 second components can be interchanged on the seamless support, a great happiness, two pedals in one.
I put 8 because you have when even spend a little time to dssouder and resolder all, it's not as easy when you do not need the CAP and that this requires patience and documentation, but internet is full of photos on this opration.

UTILIZATION

The change is when the same radical enough, what I like, because everything has to be a nuance, it's less cool.
The texture is grainy, but more gentle time, it's more crisp. The sound of the TS9 is actually rather compact compress, flt and warm, the mod makes it more open and less size. So it's more singing and more freely share a little in every sense, especially as the tonality is more open, hollow, the sound gets really deep. The CONTRL of tonal changes in addition amplitide AIGS and are warm and trs trs beautiful, even the bottom right of the knob, much better made. Crunches crpitent more and makes the fender in gnral more pungent and crisp, too.
The level of overdrive has not changed too much but the feeling is different, it's more bouriffant APRS before. This change is really nice but beware, the sound changes and it is not the same as use. This much, this new sound is magic, it's the holy grail of blues guitarist fenderien.

SOUND QUALITY

The amendment allows to play more blues, TS9 rdition found anywhere for about 15 years is trs blues-rock, gniale to send a chorus consisting of good, warm and full of juice. With the new version, I have a bit more "gniaque" but it's more tart and crunchy, the rendering is more blues, the note will live a little longer, so we will use it more for rhythmic pop turneries blues or supported or on slower chorus, greasy blues.
I prfre the pedals APRS changed, but the basic version is basically more versatile, less type blues. All fawns, I now have the two home! I can not get below 10 for the audio nirvana.

OVERALL OPINION

The TS9 is a must as it can be used in many configurations, the sound is quite transparent, although it rpond the shade, it is unanimously for over 25 years. The modified version is more kind, the crunch is extraordinary, it has more depth. Everyone's gots, but those who have got it difficult change back the chipset!
Remember that this rating does almost nothing, we find this kind of components still around, that is the same as JRC4558D Texas Instrument latest issue and even manufactured bearing the m REFERENCE me, and verifies revrifi by experts, and that is really good!
10/10 for all of the work on this Ibanez MODEL worship forcment!
To consume without a fender modration preferences, knowing that even on an amp or hybrid transistors, the pedals will change or not sound as ever.
