WTB...TS type pedal

I need another pedal like I need a hole in my head but if anybody has a TS-9 reissue or Sparkle Drive, TS clone, etc that they want to unload drop me a PM...Imnot 100% sure what Im looking for but let me know what you have. Please no Bad Monkeys, Tubeulators, etc but on the flip side I do not want a $300 boutique TS clone...

Thanks

find yourself a MI Tube Zone (6 knob new version) and if you ever need another OD or distiortion you need to play drums or something LOL.

Christian...I have a SD-1 that John Spina modded. After the mods, he says it's very similar to a TS, but more agressive in the gain if you want it. It's a fantastic pedal, but I've got a Twin Tube now, and that fits my style better.

I actually change component values and not just the the caps....Resistor values get changed,as does the original chip.There's a chip holder in the pedal so if you wanted to try a different chip,you can just pop the new one in really quick...The modded version has more lows,is smoother overall,quieter,and it has a night and day better tone over the stock unit..It's like a Tube Screamer,but is more aggressive in the gain,but the circuits are very similar..The modded SD1 seems to have more "grind"...The TS is smoother and more compressed sounding by comparison.

Christian....Pickup a TS5 and send it to me? The Sparkle Drive is my favorite cause it sounds better and I Like the extra clean knob.

Johns mod of the TS is the only one to consider!
