Ibanez TS9DX Overdrive Guitar Effect Pedal

This pedal is a must have for any gigging guitar player. It is totally versatile, it all revolves around the MODE knob, offering 4 practical, usable settings, allowing the user to pick from 4 completely different voicings. I use a Marshall JCM 800 head, I use this pedal with the mode knob set to the first setting for the original TS9 voicing when I am going for a hot rodded sound in conjunction with that head, especially for leads. I have used the pedal in the HOT setting with a fender combo to get a great bluesy tone. When using the 3rd and 4th mode it pushes into the metal zone. This pedal truly has something for everyone, and can be used in a variety of ways to achieve the desired tone.

The TS9DX is the more intense model of the TS9. It includes a hot switch as well as a turbo switch. This pedal, compared to others, gives a very clean, unmuddled overdrive. It is useful for classic rock. Great to use a muddier distortion pedal over it for a solo; gives it just the volume and gain boost needed.

I had heard alot about this pedal through word of mouth and magazines. The quality of the construction is very good. It has a lot of tone variation. I like to use it as a boost to the tone and volume. It gives a nice edge to the sound. I haven't had this pedal very long and still am experimenting with it. Not sure which setting I like best on the overdrive, but I seem to keep going back to the original TS 9 setting. I think this pedal would be great for lead guitar with some bite. I prefer to use the BOSS MT-2 for the heavier rythm. I use this pedal with a Fender blues, Jr amp and I think it saves on the tubes rather than cranking the Amp way up.

Looking for distortion pedel this thing rocks. Classic overdrive check distortion check.old metal to classic rock to Texas blues this is your pedal.

This is a good pedal effect.
To redo the story ....I would select TS8808, less capabilities but more specific to what I want to play.
