Tube Screamer Duel Ts-808 Vs. Keeley Mod. by CHRIS

The first pedal is a traditional Ibanez tube screamer TS-808 and the other pedal is a TS-808 with the Robert Keeley Modification... For this video I used my American Standard Fender Strat with maple neck and my fender 65' twin custom 15 amp (twin reverb HEAD with a 15'' speaker)

What is Keeley Mod? Can someone please answer

[MrChrisguitar]

@TanqMuffin Keeley Mod means that has been modified the circuit and stuff by Robert Keeley, you should check out his information on the internet he does a very good job modifying popular pedals and also creating own effects. He does the Talk Box "FRAMPTONE" for Peter Frampton :-D....

both sounds like crap... but the original is smoother & softer!!! (this is my opinion!)

[MrChrisguitar]

@xpjv Your opinion is valid but just because you don't like the sound of it doesn't mean that sounds like crap, in this video the sound quality isn't the best I will do another video using protools and you will see the difference

In the case of the Boss BD-2 Blues Driver, I think I prefer the Keeley mod to the original. In the case of the Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamers, however, I think I prefer the original to the Keeley mod. I think Brad Paisley might actually use the Keeley modded TS808, but I'm not sure.

Keeley does seem to do some great things with their mods though. And then, of course, their own original pedal--the Keeley Compressor--sounds amazing (if you like compressor pedals, that is). Anyway, great review!

[MrChrisguitar]

@badfinger848 Thanks dude!!! and I stick with you in that opinion I prefer the original TS too! But I think that the best TS is the Ts-808 hand-wired very SRV style!

@baghaturyan the fact that you called kirk hammet legendary, makes me not take what you say seriously...

[BluesRocker52]

Chris, you play great and do good demos...no talking!!! Thanks for the comparison. You're destined for stardom! I wish I could have played as well as you at your age.

[garcarroll]

great, now i have to look for baghaturyan's comment

[TheJabsCincy]

@rsguitar335 lol you must be drinking to much... I could immediatly hear how crazy better the keeley sounds

[lzeppelin234]

keeleys the best. obviously the unmodified 808 is gonna sound most like srv though...

[PeacefulMax]

What's the best of the two for SRV?

[danielhl22]

@TanqMuffin dude cant you use google???

[rsguitar335]

Thanks for the demo. I think it would be more useful to play 10-15 seconds (max) on one pedal, then play the exact same phrase on the other -- back and forth. I think that would offer a more useful A/B comparison. Regards.
