Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer modded by AnalogMan (Fender Twin version)

I love, love, love the sounds from almost every Tube Screamer I've ever heard - TS-808s, TS9s, TS9DXs, TS10s. This particular Tube Screamer is a reissue modded by Analog Mike (a.k.a. Analogman) and is just a little thing of beauty. This one has the "silver" mod package and the true bypass switch. I heartily recommend this pedal for anyone who wants that classic blues tone!

Gear played in this video: 1966 Fender Twin, Fender Eric Johnson stratocaster, Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer modded by http://www.analogman.com/ with the "Silver" mods and a true bypass switch.

P.S. - Sorry for the playing being sloppy! My room was c-o-l-d and my hands just don't play the same in the cold!

I just received a stock TS9 in trade and as soon as I get everything straightened out I will be sending it off to Mike for his Silver mod. I also have a Way Huge Green Rhino on it's way to me which is a take on the classic TS circuit. I also use a Twin Reverb although mine is a Reissue. I love those Blackface era Fenders although I do love Tweeds as well. Great demo and playing!

@gibsonguitar1988 Thank you! I'm with you - those blackface and tweed Fenders are just magical :)

[disissanchy]

You explained everything in perfect detail...thank you soo much for making this video!

I also have been bit by the Tubescreamer bug recently...it was the final addition to my 3 od pedalboard set up, and I've never been happier! (TS9-->OCD-->Keeley BD-2)I use the TS9 at practically the same setting as you and the BD-2, with all its clarity, is the final "solo boost" to push things out front.

Keep this videos coming bro, you have a knack for teaching these crucial sound nuances!

[ScottWhigham]

@disissanchy Thanks for that - made me smile :)

[6packofsteel]

just so you know, you're not the only person who gets that excited by awesome tone, i feel you man. i'm saving up for one of these!

btw, what size strings are you using?

[ScottWhigham]

@6packofsteel These were 10s - the David Gilmour GHS brand. I like the brightness of them, plus they rarely break or have defects.

the TS9 reissue I had, had the ta75558p chip, it sounded a bit different from the maxon OD9, it had more gain, and a nice sweet spot when you dig in. The maxon OD9 seems to have more bottom end as well. Both nice pedals. I just had to opportunity to A/B them and sold the TS9.

[usalespaul59]

some people spend like hundreds of $s on boutique stuff, a TS9 (OD9) does it just as well :)

[usalespaul59]

I had a 90s TS9 reissue, sold it and got a new Maxon OD9 (JRC chip, maxon electronics equal to the 80s TS9s)

[Mimotasis]

i just love that!!! xD

[Pepper2Jason]

I got an Analogman Maxon OD-9 silvermod and it is just the best sounding overdrive I have ever heard.

Cheers!
