Ultimate Tube Screamer Service


Unlike other mods, this is a very intensive service with a full 15 Point Modification that brings out the best of the Tube Screamer.  This entails installing the highest quality parts money can buy to ensure the best possible performance. And while we're in there we service each pedal which includes a physical cleaning in addition to tightening all knobs, jacks & switches. We also shoot the pots and Fet on/off switch with contact cleaner as needed to ensure trouble-free operation for years to come.  The pedal is then packed and shipped, all within 24 hours.  No one else on eBay offers this level of service for Ibanez pedals.  Plus this Mod adds $50 to the value of your pedal!

Meet the Staff: Don't let their humble appearance fool you ~ these are the best Mod Dogs in the business!

ATTN: When sending payment remember to specify the LED COLOR you would like ~ Blue, Red, Yellow, White, or GreenGreen is most popular as it matches the color of the pedal ~ I install Green automatically if you do not specify.
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
Changing the stock LED on/off light to a SUPER BRIGHT LED offers a brighter beacon in low light in addition to looking totally cool.


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
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. 

Superior Presence Mod
Changing the value of the .22uf tone capacitor to a superior .15uf metal film capacitor
helps to brighten up and clarify the overall darkness/muddiness of the stock pedal

JRC4558D Chip Mod
Stock TS9's have a TA7558P OP chip.  This mod upgrades 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. 


Quick-change OP Chip Cradle Mod
This mod has a quick-change OP chip cradle which allows users to change the OP chip on the fly, without resoldering.  Just lift out the chip and slide in another one.

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

High Fidelity/Clarity Mod Part 2
Changing
the 2 inferior polyester .1uF to Metal Film & the 2 stock 1uF electrolytic capacitors to superior Tantalum Capacitors provides superior definition and an overall more focused tone.

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 ~ works in conjunction with the Fat mod.

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 ~ works in conjunction with the Superior Presence mod.

Overdrive Response
When the Drive control is zeroed and the level at 5 - 10 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 a nice touch of glassy grit with Humbuckers.   And as you crank the gain past half-way it is a good bit fatter & hotter than a stock TS9 with excellent definition and tight bottom end.  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
You get your pedal modded with your LED color of choice, the quick-change cradle, the JRC4558D & the two extra chips, and all the superior high fidelity parts shipped to your door for only $55.  Ships FREE USPS PRIORITY 2-3 Day Mail within 24 hours.  International shipping is $25
