    Looking for a OD/Distortion pedal....

    Hey Guys!

    I have been busy with school ending and with my amp which sound AWESOME, so i havent been on the forum in almost a month! Anyways, im looking for a pedal that has a focused, smooth, lead oriented sound with a great warm mid range and musical tone. Tube Screamer? Something to turn my Les Paul with PAF style pickups into a smooth, sweet, solo machine when i turn it on. Thanks guys!

    The reissue Ibanez TS808 is really great right out of the box or you could get a TS9 cheaper and have it modded...

      Well, isn't it obvious with the "..." following the TS9 modded part?!?!? Do it!

        Change the TS9s TS 57778 opamp over to either the the JRC4558D or the RC 4558P chip and change 2 resistors in the TS9s output stage and you have the 808...Go a bit further and tweak the circuit and you get more lows and more gain..

          I highly suggest you should also try the old Boss OD-1 if you can find one...great stompbox and challenges TS808...
