Dave..I was so excited to read what you wrote and how thorough it was that I was just too compelled to post it to everyone else...I'm so happy that the mods worked and you are enjoying your pedals...So if it's ok with you Dave,here's your e mail to me for others to see..
[B]"Hey John,
I have been a little tied up and I have not had a lot of time to do some thorugh evaluations yet. But Saturday afternoon a good friend of mine called and asked if I would help him dial in a new sound. He bought a new guitar and amp. So I thought it would be a perfect time to test these. Here is what we did.
The guitar was a Eric Clapton Strat with Kinman PUPS, and a 2nd guitar called a Demarino which was custom made with EMG. PUPS 2 single coils, and a HB in bridge. I also brought my EC strat which is completley stock, and has lace sensors.
The AMP was a Fender SUPER REVERB RI.
First we dialed in good overall clean sound, and my Buddy Dave played clean for a good 45 minutes, just getting used to the guitar and the Amp. A great overall clean sound. His board had a DD3 a BOSS EQ a newer Tubescreamer the green & black one. I brought my Clyde McCoy wah, and the Crybaby that you modded. I also brought a TS9 RI, and the TS9 you modded, and a Boss Super OD. I connected the 2 Ts9's right next to each other, and while he was playing I was turning them on and off. The modded TS9 was by far more throaty, and had a considerably better overall tone with a lot more bottom. To be fair I left each pedal on, and allowed Dave to play the same 4 or 5 minute phrases to give an accurate comparison. The modded TS9 sounded more clear, with much better note definition. I needed to roll down the gain by comparison to the unmodded TS9 . The overall tone was stronger in the bottom end. Exceptional pedal.. We both Loved it!! much better than the other TS9, and his tubescreamer just wasn't even close. The Super OD sounded good, but again the TS9 you modded just sounded more natural.... like the Amp turned up loud.... excactly what I wanted. As you know I play through a Fender SR also, a SF and I think my Amp will make this sound even better.
