Re: What overdrive are you using?
Lou,
Meant to ask you is that your (Hamer) Artist Custom in your avatar and if so it looks mighty fine. What do you think of it? Any problems are you happy, if not I'll buy it of you (for half what you paid for it) :saeek: .
I am sure that you are loving it as I like mine any chance for some really nice close up shots?

Re: What overdrive are you using?
Hi Lou. The TS-7 is the Ibanez "Tone-Lok" version of a TS-9. You can lock the knobs, so you don't lose your settings. The TS-5 is the little Plastic Sound Tank version of the TS-9. Both of these pedals are less expensive than the TS-808. You'll need to have Stratdeluxer97 (John Spina) mod one for ya. I think a TS-5 modded by John would be cool !!!! The only Drawback I forsee is that the pedal is all PLASTIC, and may not last as long. Stock, both pedals sound like the re-issue TS-9 ( at least to me, they do), but John can do wonders with them !!!! Either one would save ya some $$$, but both John and I agree that the re-issue TS-808 is a very good pedal. Pricey, compared to some others, but good sounding and sturdy. John can also do a small tweak on the 808, but mine sounded fine to me, right out of the box. I compared it to my Original 808's, and liked what I heard......

Re: What overdrive are you using?
TS-9 modded to 808+ specs
I did the mod Stratdeluxer provided the wisdom
I also have a DOD Yngwie J Malmsteen (Big time A-hole) that I use as a door stop or when we play Creep by Radiohead, darn thing doesn't even have an LED
My friend gave it to me as a joke since he knows I can't stand YJM
If you hook it up backwards it sounds just like him
:thumbsdow

Re: What overdrive are you using?
Forgive me for disagreeing, but my TS-7 sounded like sh!t until John tweaked it. It was very buzzy and digital sounding. Now it sounds almost identical to the TS-808 clone in the Route 66 from Visual Sounds.
The "Hot" switch on the TS-7 is really cool too (once John fixes the pedal for ya') - it changes the gain circuit and adds some distortion. I don't really know how to describe the sound, but it's really cool to play with. (It produced hideous high gain fuzz before the mods.)
For some reason, the Route 66 sounds better in front of the Blues Jr. but the modded TS-7 has better tone in front of the TradeMark 10. It might be because the TS-808 was specifically designed for a tube amp...
