Ibanez TS9 4-stars Reviews

Awesome

Great pedal, the light could be a little more bright but other than that, look no further! Perfect to give you that little bit extra punch that your amp needs. Throw it over a clean channel and your amp comes to live.

Quit thinking about it and just buy it already.

Great pedal

A great pedal to use either as an overdrive for a clean amp or as a booster to an already driven sound.

It worked great with my Fender mustang 3 (which usually does not work good with pedals). It gave all my sounds that something more.

Great piece of kit

Classic sound, I'm currently having fun using this to push the preamp in my all valve Marshall TSL 602.

The first thing I've noticed, moving away from my Spider IV modelling amp to valves and using this to get my tone, rather than modelling circuit is just how much sustain I'm getting off my Les Paul Standard. I've never heard it sound like that.

I've gone back to the Spider and compared - although it's way more convenient to push a button, you can just hear the sustained notes drop off way before they should.

So overall, using this pedal to boost signal into a valve amp preserves the actual instrument signal, its sustain and clarity, but be prepared to be fiddling with dials for a while until you're happy.

Good overall build quality on the pedal, LED is notoriously difficult to see when lit and the battery connector is a bit cheap, but those are not big problems. Recommended piece of kit.

Simple Yet Effective

I bought this pedal for extra drive on top of my distortion sound. It works very well and definitely lives up to the 'tubescreamer' title.

It is also good at giving extra boost to a clean sound - like pushing the headroom on a clean channel. Perhaps not ideal as a stand-alone distortion pedal

Very easy to use (with just 3 knobs level, tone and drive) & very effective
