Title: Maxon od9 or Ibanez ts9
Post by: sour d on October 13, 2010, 04:33:01 PM
I was modding a couple tube screamers today and I thought it might be worth pointing something out. One of the reasons it might be better to get an od9 vs a ts9 is the lack of fet switching components that your signal doesn't have to travel through. No mods are needed for this. The od9's come this way. Plus you get the jrc4558d chip.

Yup, great pedal... I have two.

It can be a little tricky to stomp on and off, you really gotta step on it.

So a lot of you guys use modded tube screamers. What would be a good selling price for a ts9 modded to 808 spec and "phat" modded by upgrading a few caps and changing values and replacing a resistor to a higher quality one of a different value. Then I'm adding a bright blue led. Also if any of you guys have broken tube screamers you want to sell let me know, I'll buy them. I've sold a few already and I've been trying to keep the cost about $10 dollars under what a new ts9 would go for.
