TS X is a TS-platform overdrive built around the classic Volume / Tone / Drive workflow, while adding a rear-cover internal mode switch for base-voicing selection and two external 3-way toggles (CLIP / BASS) for fast, practical fine-tuning. One chassis, multiple classic TS references—from vintage-leaning voicings to Keeley-style mod inspirations.

Reference Timeline & Voicing Map (Verifiable)

  • TS808 reference (1979)
  • TS9 reference (commonly documented within the 9-series era, ~1981–1985)
  • TS10 reference (circa 1986 onward; often listed 1986–1990)
  • TS7 HOT reference (1999; Tone-Lok era with a “Hot” mode concept)
  • Keeley MOD 808 / MOD 9 reference: inspired by the widely described Keeley TS mod approach—enhanced bass response, more headroom/dynamics, a more transparent low-gain range, and an expanded Drive sweep.

Accuracy note: Vintage TS units can vary by era and production batch. These modes are presented as voicing/circuit-approach references rather than a claim of a single exact vintage batch recipe.

Controls

  • VOLUME: output level (classic “push the front end” use)
  • TONE: treble/presence shaping
  • DRIVE: gain & compression
  • CLIP (3-way): clipping character selection (compression / hardness / headroom feel)
  • BASS (3-way): low-end voicing (tight / standard / fat response)
  • Internal mode switch (under the back cover): selects 6 base voicings (TS7 Hot / TS808 / TS9 / TS10 / Keeley 808 / Keeley 9)

Use Cases

  • Classic TS mid-focus drive to cut through a mix.
  • Tighten low end and sharpen attack before high-gain amps.
  • Fast calibration per rig via BASS/CLIP toggles—more flexible than a single-voicing TS.

Build

  • Through-hole components, hand-soldered assembly for reliability and serviceability.
