Sounds great! I really like the warmer transparent tone that roars out of that little green box. (Turn up your amp to really understand the magnitude of this tone). I am using a semihollow body guitar with a 30W Peavey tube amp. My amp's clean channel is its best feature and don't really care to much for the dirty channel, hence the TS9. This pedal really allows me to keep the clear tone of the amp yet colors it with a warm boost of heavier gain. I think that the pedal’s tone sound a lot more real than before too.
I mean for $29 can you really say no? I am happy with the money that I spent. I could have paid a lot more via analogman or Keeley.
Reliability/Durability:
I had one small problem listed below but Keith took care of it.
Ease of Use:
Mine is the TS9DX, so I have a few more settings than the original TS9. Basically there are four modes that you can dial into; TS9, +, Hot, and Turbo. I just like TS9 and "+." The + setting works a lot like a boost, great for solos. I like to turn the gain down and level up so that + mode can really shine.
Customer Support:
Keith rocks! Somehow my TS9DX burned out a day after I got it back and so I returned it and got it back within a week. Way to go!
Overall Rating:
Like I said for the money you can't go wrong. Boutique pedals are so overpriced and this is a good way to stick to the man!
