The Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9 has been a staple in overdrive pedals ever since its release in the 80s. The tone has not really evolved that much over the years, and it doesn't need to, as the tone it provides is still sought after today. The TS9 offers a lot of the same qualities as the classic TS808. It provides a rich and warm sound in the mids, capable of beefing up an underwhelming tone. Where it differs however is in the output. The TS9 has a higher gain than the TS808 allowing it to be driven harder for a more modern, aggressive sound. It also provides a slight boost in the highs which helps it cut through the mix, and is really useful in heavier, drop-tuned style of music. The TS9 can also be used clean, offering a subtle warmth and fullness to the tone which can easily be heard through any mix. This reissue model provides you with the same classic tone the original TS9 Tube Screamer offered years ago, but at a fraction of the price. It also offers the same design - both the hard-wearing metal casing, the green colour, the square footswitch and internal JRC4558 op-amp circuitry.
