Members D-River Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 I use my MXR for my main dirty sounds (I love the sound of this pedal setted with output ranging between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock and distortion between 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock, but I hate it with distortion cranked 'cause it becomes too harsh) but I would like to add a booster for heavier parts; I was thinking about putting a ts9 before it...anyone ever tried this? how does it will sound? also do you know some other pedal that works good with the mxr? I also have a Russian Big Muff, but most of the times it's too loud; I play a mixture of post rock and alternative rock... Another question on the ts9...just for curiosity...it's often used to boost another pedal or push a tube amp into breakup, but how does it sound on the clean channel of a solid state amp which doesn't break up at all? (I have a Peavey Bandit 65) Thanks a lot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bob, just bob Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 A TS will give your Dist+ more mids. This will probably be best for a lead tone. If you are going for a thicker rhythm tone, you may want to consider something with more low end (or not so mid focused). Using a TS with a clean solid state amp can be ok, I just usually prefer having more distortion on tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dap99 Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 I got a '83 TS9 around 1991. It sounded so thin w/ my Solid State Carvin amp that I gave up on it after 2 days. I put it away and for got about it. I got a MESA Tremoverb around 1994, pulled out the TS9 and that became the only pedal I used for the next 10 years. A friend of mine uses the exact set up you're talking about, but he uses a Fender tube amp. He really likes his tone. You can't go wrong having both of those pedals in your arsenal, but IIWY, I'd start researching good tube amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
