Overdrive analog type TS9

UTILIZATION

Ultra-simple: 3 pots: drive, balance, tone.
I use very little tone adjustment finally
No breath and true bypass

My favorite setting is with my cry baby upstream
Drive 10am
Balance at 14-15h
Tone to 12

SOUND QUALITY

It's simple and roughly vintage with beautiful grain.

I use it on a TV and AC4 Ultra Epiphone LP with Seymour Duncan and push / pull.
The 808 blends really well with that I, the grain is sublime, his warm
documentation provides typical settings to Smith but not panic is a very simple pedal, roughly generous and nuanced effect.

Basically I used to work at home in 1 / 4 or 1 watt on my AC4 and have a grain and crunch. I am now finally in 4W and the 808 is still there so I like the sound it brings.
I tried it with a lot of guitar (not mine unfortunately) N4 Bettencour Washburn, Music Man Axis, strata and its always filled me on my AC4.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 6 months and every day.

I tried the BOSS, but I was convinced, that's a matter of taste and it's personal. I was looking for color and sound good vintage rather than the fat saturation.
My playing style is Blues / Rock / Funck

I love the finish, overall quality and its type TS9.
Bought second hand at 90E, I do not part with. Even at 130 in nine is a very good investment.
Do not miss out on without trying
