(I posted this in another forum but it might have been misplaced. sorry)
I'm looking for a Tube Screamer. Prices are so varied that I really am not sure what I should buy. I feel like the original TS9 is the way to go but what is a good price for one? What do the mods on these pedals do specifically? Should I buy a moded pedal? Any advice with this would be great. Currently I play a RAT. I'm thinking I need two distortion pedals though. The preamp I'm getting only has a clean channel. I'd like to have a nice crunch for rhythm/blues playing (probably achievable with the RAT) and a sweet tube driven lead tone (TS).
Thanks in advance for the advice!
