  • running 2 Ts9's or a Ts9 and a compressor?

    what is the advantage of running two TS9's at the same time like SRV, with each at low gain? Is it mostly for compresssion?

    A tubescreamer is compressed enough as is...in fact, IMO, they are too compressed but in answer to your question, Stevie used one for grit/crunch and the other for a boost with very little gain...just a volume boost
    If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change. With that in mind, today I may or may not agree with the post you just read!

      I use to run a TS-5 with my TS-9 into my old Twin. The TS-5 was set for gain The TS-9 for boost. With both on I got a real thick tone. SRV used a TS-808 for boost only according to Warren Haynes. .

        If you want compression and Tubescreamer-like grind, check out the Visual Sound Route 66. It's a pretty cool pedal for anything from blues to hard rock.

          Usually in that type of setup, one is use for gain, and one is used to boost the signal. The effect will end up giving you a crap load of sustain.
