TS5 Tube Screamer Mod Kit

There are several things that set this kit apart from all the others.  First and foremost are the instructions; they are top notch with both a VIDEO as well as a PDF ~ both containing a complete set of photo’s with detailed & concise instructions that will allow anyone complete this Mod is about 30 minutes.  The PDF has step by step color photo's so that, even if you've never soldered before, or are not mechanically inclined, the instructions walk you right through it ~ I've enclosed a small sample here in this listing.  Secondly, unlike other inferior mods, this is the most intensive kit you can buy, with a full 12 Point Modification that perfects the Tube Screamer sound.  Thirdly, I worked to obtain the highest quality parts to ensure the best possible performance.  Finally, installing this Kit adds $50+ to the value of your pedal!  Since solder & desoldering braid come with the kit, all you'll need is a soldering iron and you're in business!

Video Demonstration 

 

Fat Mod
Changing two of the inferior stock polyester capacitors to superior metal film capacitors of a slightly different value fattens up the gain nicely.

Led Mod
Changing the dim stock Red Led to a Super Bright Green Led  offers a brighter beacon in low light, in addition to looking great.


TS808 Brown Mod
The original Tube Screamers were built to overdrive tube amps and this TS9 has been restored to the original TS-808 specs. This mod changes both the inferior 470 ohm and the 100k ohm Carbon Film output resistors to 100 ohm and 10k ohm Carbon Composition output resistors for a warmer & quieter tone.


Superior Gain Mod Mod
Changing the value of the 4.7k resistor to a 2.2k Resistor increases the gain.  This Mod adds that extra bit of gain I always wanted while maintaining the clarity and diction of chords as well as individual notes. 


Superior Output Mod
The last capacitor in the signal path is vital to the tone of this model.  Changing stock electrolytic 10uf output capacitor to a 10uf Tantalum Capacitor sweetens up the output nicely and clarifies the overall muddiness of the stock pedal.


JRC4558D Mod

This Mod changes the inferior stock TA4558P chip to a genuine JRC4558D as found in the majority of Vintage Tube Screamers.

Quick-Change Chip Cradle Mod
This Mod installs a quick-change chip cradle which allows users to swap the chip on the fly, without resoldering ~ just lift out the chip and insert another one! 

High Fidelity/Clarity Mod Part 1
Changing two of the low quality stock polyester .047uF capacitors to higher quality Metal Film Capacitors makes for a tighter bottom and more fullness of tone throughout. 

High Fidelity/Clarity Mod Part 2
Changing the 2 inferior stock 1uf electrolytic capacitors to superior Metal Film Capacitors provides a more focused tone and increases the definition of the gain structure.

Bass Response
The stock Tube Screamer doesn't allow all of the bass frequencies to pass through. By changing the 470 ohm output resistor to a 100 ohm Carbon Comp resistor, this allows the full spectrum of bass frequencies to pass without altering or sacrificing the classic Tube Screamer sound.

High End Response
By using a 100k ohm output resistor, the stock Tube Screamer allows a lot of noise to pass through your signal. By changing the 100k ohm resistor to a 10k ohm resistor, this mod limits the high end hiss as there are no usable guitar frequencies past 10k ohms. It also helps to make the tone control more useful without altering the classic Tube Screamer sound.

Overdrive Response
When the Drive control is zeroed and the level maxed for clean boost (a real treat if you've never tried it) there is the sweetest bit of gain on single notes with single coils and some Texas grit with Humbuckers.  And as you crank the gain past half-way it is a good bit fatter than a stock TS5.  I like setting it to Clean Boost (Gain 0, Level 5-10, Tone 6) and leaving it on all the time so that when I switch channels is adds some *sparkle* to the clean channel and some *sizzle* to the gain channel.

Conclusion
This Kit has it all, is well packed, and ready to ship USPS FIRST CLASS 3-5 Day Mail within 24 hours.  International shipping is $15 to ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!
