Quick-change OP Chip Cradle Mod
This pedal has a quick-change OP chip cradle which allows users to change the OP chip on the fly, without re-soldering. Just lift out the chip and slide in another one.
JRC4558D Chip Mod
This TS9 has had its stock OP chip upgraded to a JRC4558D Chip found in the majority of Vintage TS-808 & TS9 Tube Screamers. Also included (in addition to the stock TA75558P) is the Texas Instruments RC4558P chip (not vintage) for maximum flexibility. Only the earliest TS-808 Tube Screamers contain the Texas Instruments RC4558P chip. Many veteran players (me included) like the RC4558P for sake of it's grit, which is great for Texas Style blues & rock.
TS-808 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 on individual notes while maintaining the clarity and diction of chords.
High Fidelity/Clarity Mod
Changing three 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. Also changing the 2 inferior polyester .1uF to Metal Film & the 2 stock 1uF electrolytic capacitors to superior Tantalum Capacitors provides an overall clearer, more focused tone.
Superior Presence Mod
Changing stock .22 uf tone capacitor to a .15 uf Metal Film Capacitor sweetens up the high end and brightens up the overall darkness of the stock pedal.
Fat Mod
Changing one of the inferior stock polyester capacitors to superior metal film of a slightly different value fattens up the gain nicely.
LED Mod
The stock LED on/off light was changed to a BRIGHT GREEN LED to offer a brighter beacon in low light in addition to looking totally cool.
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. Using the .15uf Metal Film Capacitor 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 sass on single notes with single coils and just a touch of glassy grit with Humbuckers. And as you crank the gain past half-way it is a bit fatter than a stock TS9. 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
A sound check was done on a Tube Amp set clean and the sound was excellent! The video does not fully capture the nuance and touch sensitivity ~ must play to appreciate. A new TS808 is 179.99 + Tax and it doesn't have the green LED, the quick-change cradle, the two extra chips or the superior high fidelity parts. This pedal has it all, and is *NEW* with original box & manual ~ it has only been modified. It is well packed and ready to ship USPS PRIORITY 3 Day Mail within 24 hours. International shipping is $25 to ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!
