Boost crunch tone

[Vaiyen]

I see. I haven't tried it yet. I will bear your comments in mind. I didn't know it needs an adaptor, though I know it sucks batteries.

sorri to borrow this thread abit, But does the SD duncan distortion gives u crunch and harsh distortion? Issit more aggressive compared to the JB?

 

[Vaiyen]

.......... I've yet to test the ts-9 re-issue but from what I've gathered from some who have tried it, they say its over-rated.

Dude, the ts9 to me, was the box. And after the mod to fix its bass sucking badness... it was THE box.

How much are the TS9, TS7, and TS808?


Oh not to forget, TS9dx. Sorry to borrow this thread Vai.

I'm trying to get my hands on a 2nd hand Ts-9 and work that box out to clear all doubts. :wink:

Expect to pay ALOT for the TS9 and TS808 reissues. Like $250.

And even more for the REAL deal... 2nd hand.

IMO, the best deal is the TS9DX since its got 4 modes thus more versatile. There was a thread that had a lengthy discussion on this. Do a search...

1. What amp are you using?
2. Do you wanna get the crunch from your amp or crunch from boosting another overdrive/distortion?

In my head, CRUNCH is defined by overloading a tube preamp-ed amp. A booster will come in handy. Commonly available ones.... Boss GE7. Set it flat and boost up the volume. Clean boost. A real clean boost rather than getting a TS kinda pedal reducing the drive, boosting the volume just to get "CLEAN" boost. Of course the overtones are nice but calling it clean boost... man I got issues.

There are other clean booster pedals like Zvex SHO, Catalinbread Chilli Picoso, MXR Microamp etc and it'll work.
