I always have one or the other, unless I have both!

That is, when I am playing Jam/Phish...

I was going to, but wasn't sure which one that fit in!

Sometimes the first option, sometimes the second, sometimes the third (if I'm not playing modern Jam).

I leave my Timmy always on, it's more transparent.

I'd vote, but there's not an option for using at least one on, or both, at all times.  Why would you turn the "always on" pedal off?

I put sometimes on sometimes off, but I'm also not running a compressor. For a pedal so vital for Trey tone, its kinda low on my list of pedals to buy. Maybe i'm just waiting for the right vintage Ross  ???

Thanks Happy!  I'm not gonna lie though.  Every once in a while I will step on both pedals at the same time to turn the heavier one on (while turning the clean one off), and then add the clean one to boost up the heavy one when the time is right.  But for the most part you can get the same effect just by using the guitar's volume knob.  I can be a very difficult person sometimes.

Same here, that is what I was trying to describe above ;)

Am I crazy? I have a TS9 and a Boss SD1. I want to like the Ibanez better, but I just don't. In any case, and to answer the question: Both generally off....and then TS9 first followed by SD1 to attempt to soar. The compressor light never goes off.

+1 a great pedal and mine's always on as well. After stupidly selling my CMATmods Ross Clone I found another and I'm looking forward to how it sounds.
