TS9 has a chip-enhanced tone unlike the TS7. some hear the difference, others don't.
TS7 has a HOT mode for more drive but it still remains in the mild drive domain.

i certainly enjoy the TS7 more than the other incarnations 8) to me, it's the least expensive but maximum satisfaction.

I'm a great fan of the TS7... been having it since i they released this tonelok craze...
It's good in the sense for the money you're paying, its actually pretty decent. With the additional Hot mode, I would say it would be more functional to more users cos the ts9 alone is quite mild as a standalone. As a boost then it wouldn't matter that much.
But then again, I've tried Hot mode while boosting and its quite over the top.

I totally agree that it's worth the money for the TS-7. and yes, the hot mode does smoke some serious mokey weed.
Are you comparing your OD9 to a TS9? Because, they (TS9 & OD9) are DIFFERENT.

In fact, your OD9 is supposed to be superior to the TS9, circuit-wise especially.

Maxxon units are similar in likeness to the Ibanez counterparts, tone-wise, they have their differences.

after trying the TS9 in its various incarnations (& owning them), personally, i feel they can't fulfill my tonal needs, nevermind their inclusion of some legendary celectronic hips. it should be a need assessment after all- why should we join the hype camp if it has nothing in store for us?
Why not join?
After all, most guitarists swear by a TS type circuit into toob amp for their tonal bliss so....
If it works, don't fix it lah...
Right?
Just kidding Sub. For every reason to follow a hype or standard, there's every reason to not do so. And mess up. Or maybe be different.

jumping into the bandwagon is partially not knowing what you need.
to me the TS9 bandwagon is a rockin' 72' Dodge Challenger
let me clarify.
Pre 90s TS9s and TS808s. total melt.... of course these old pedals are touch and go, no two sounds alike as compared more consistent modern ones.
Maxon OD9s, Analogman TS9 mods.
None of these 'reissue' or modern TS9s...
of course bootek stuff sounds 'better' or 'dirt-ter' or 'dynamic', but sometimes its a standard for a reason...

Like DS1s
Personally I cant use it. Its just nothing with me. Fizz and harsh and all that.
Yet everyone from my neighbour to Satch and Vai uses it. Mod or not.
I can hear the DS1-ness in Satch's tone, yet I adore his sound. But I still CANNOT tahan DS1 in my hands.
To each his own, to each ears, your hands...
