Listen to the video clip at the bottom of this listing. This video is of our modified TS9. Same mods, same sound...only with the modified TS9DX you get 3 boost settings. Use your headphones!

If you are looking for Tube Screamer, then look no further.
Or go and look everywhere… and come back again. Just don’t wait too long!
 
We can also modify your pedal! Just give us a call or shoot me a quick email for mod service information (see last picture, business card).

When you first step on this TS9DX, you are going to hear the best sounding TS9DX, period. It’s got our best TS808 Plus mod. Yep, it's got the 808 mods that everyone likes. This pedal also has the popular Keeley mods- twice the amount of available gain, and also the ability to clean up better when you back off the controls. We replace other capacitors and resistors with high quality metal film resistors and Panasonic caps, some with different values to improve the tone and eliminate noise. The op amp is replaced with the JRC4558D. And of course we put in a nice, bright, “water clear” blue LED. The LED is clear when the pedal is switched off, and a nice bright blue when switched on.
We also installed a toggle switch for a bass boost. It is similar to that very subtle one found on a Keeley BD-2...but you can actually hear an obvious difference with this one.
 
Also, did you notice? We drilled this pedal and installed a 3PDT foot switch, and rewired it for true bypass!
 
Check out the video clip of our modified TS9 without the true bypass. It has the same mods as our TS9DX, but remember the TS9DX has the extra knob that gives you 3 additional boost options. Take a listen. If you can stay with it, I think you will enjoy the ending :)
And I just can't emphasize this enough...USE YOUR HEADPHONES!

Here are some comments from folks who have bought our modified Tube Screamers, or from those who have had our mods done to their pedals:
 
 "Hi Mike!
Your pedal just earned a spot on my pedal board. I didn't know a Tube Screamer could sound like that!"

"Dear Mike,
When I purchased my Ibanez TS9DX a few weeks ago, I was excited to have something new to play with and didn’t expect things could get much better. Over the past 40 years I’ve tried out, purchased and sold many effects pedals, and I still have some classics that I’ll never get rid of. It happened that shortly after getting my TS9DX that I came across your video on YouTube while searching around for more information and covers by guitar players who used similar effects. I was curious so I researched a few mods online and yours looked to be a very good deal, well explained, and at a modest price.
I just got it back in the mail today and immediately plugged in to hear the difference. I played for hours. I gotta say that you certainly have succeeded in making a very good pedal into an extraordinary pedal –- looking forward to seeing my band members’ reactions. I could not be more pleased with this and definitely plan on future business with you.

“First....OMG!!!
I expected the Rat to sound better (and it DOES!!!), but I wasn't ready for the difference your Mod made to the TS-9!! I received them in the mail yesterday and took them to the jam night I host every week. I didn't want to stop playing all night!! Fantastic sounds coming out of those pedals!! I'll be sending my Boss chorus, flanger and delay to you shortly!!
Mike, ya done good!!

We got this email from Arnaldo who lives in Puerto Rico! Did you know that shipping from the US to Puerto Rico and back is about the same as when sending an item somewhere inside the United States?
“Tremendo trabajo, mega brutal este pedal y tremendo tecnico Like:)”
My Spanish is not so great, but I believe this translates to “Tremendous work. This pedal is mega brutal and tremendously technical. I like it!”
 
"Mike, it is hard to believe that you could improve to the degree you were able to do on a perfectly good, brand new TS-808 Reissue stomp box. The 808 is such a good sounding pedal and now with the Gain Boost and also a Bass Boost I am very impressed. I just can’t get over the difference your MOD makes. WOW…. I think if more people knew what a difference it makes with just a flip of a switch you would be swamped doing nothing but 808’s.
Thanks, Steven"

We sell worldwide, but we seem to sell a lot of pedals to Australia, Canada, and the UK. Geoff recently bought one of our modified Tube Screamers. See if you can guess where he is from:
“What an awesome pedal man ...it's mad it's crazy and it's hot ..Ibanez Prestige Herman Li Signature using Di Marzio Breeds ..your pedal makes it a lot better than a Steve Vaie Ibanez with evolutions ....not as harsh as evos but sounds a lot more real ....
Thank you mate ..awesome pedal!”
 
“Played the modded TS-9 today at church. I could not be happier with the sound I was getting. It is a huge upgrade to my tone I had before. Thanks again for everything!”
