My first distortion pedal: Green Ibanez, not a tube screamer?

[Top-L]

I got it in 88/89?. My amp was a cheap peavey 2x8/10? chorus thing with horrible distortion.

I remember actually liking the pedal and frankly my gear chase over the next ten years didn't really net me a better overall tone. Through that peavey it sounded like a hot marshall (in my mind). The pedal, from memory had white/grey knobs, graphics.

I'd like to find one for nostalgia.

Let me reiterate, it wasnt a Tube Screamer. It was a legit distortion.

I think it might have been a Distortion Charger.

SD-9 maybe?

[Top-L]

It was a DS-10 Distortion Charger. Nothing to see here. Except they are not cheap used.

This one

What is this. To make pedals now you have to be a comedian?

I never tried either of those. What do they sound like? I remember the ads at the time, but all I remember trying was the TS10.

I'd just get the maxon version if I was getting. (if we are talking about sd9)

[Aceman]

If you get an SD9 get THIS! These are way cooler than a standard SD9. SD9 is decent distortion, in the DS-1 zone. That said - when you have the standard/more Gain switch, and the Standard/Boost mids switch - really great pedal. One of my favorite newer Distortions, super flexible.

That is cool Ace. I didn't even know about this version.

[superpete]

damn i thought yours was the same as mine...the Ibanez MS10 Metal Charger!

I have that one too. The gain range is very wide with the Gain Switch. I'm not sure if Ibanez makes them anymore.

I almost think of it as an Overdrive to Dirt all in one....Do you NEED a TS( if you have this?

Normal gain, lower knob, hit the mid switch and TS9 on with your bad self.

I never compared it directly with a TS9. I was wondering what the differences are.
