i have the following if you have questions on these Analogman Brown TS808 mod pedal Sweet and clean nice tone Keeley modded TS808 Very sweet i use this one nightly with my acoustic for leads it sounds very sweet Ibanez TS-808 Vintage Reissue Stock Nice sound cannot really tell the difference extremely close to my ears looks cool to Analogman Bicomp Even sweeter very steely dannish sound or treyish i guess (Ross comp and orange sqeezer compressors) and i have owned most every other brand and flavor vintage pedal at one time. i have had great luck with any of analogmans stuff very nice guy and trustworthy! check out keeley effects as well also great if you have any questions im around |

My favorite is the TS9DX 'Turbo Tubescreamer'. They are much more versatile and cheaper than vintage or other TS models in my opinion. Collectors don't seem to have the love for it...yet! |

A mate has a new reissue TS9. It's awful even with a carbon battery in there instead of an alkaline! I've heard a trip to the Analog Man or Keeley sorts the problem. Like wise, the 808 reissue benefits from some work by the Analog Man or Keeley too. IMHO - Forget both and buy a Xotic AC Booster. six |
