Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer Electric Guitar Pedal

Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer The Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, the successor to the TS-808, was originally available between c.1981 and 1985. The first, and most noticeable difference between the two, is the cosmetic appearance of the TS-9. Along with a darker green, slightly wider enclosure, the TS-9 gained a larger stomp switch and different control knobs. The second major difference between the TS-9 and the TS-808 was a change in amp from the JRC4558D to the JRC2043DD. In sonic terms, the TS-808 is generally considered to be sightly warmer sounding, the TS-9 is brighter in the mid-range and not quite as smooth sounding. The new TS-9 faithfully recreates the original TS-9 and is still one of the 'best' overdrive pedals on the market.
