I start going, I'll make the comparison with standard TS9 reissue the chip 75,558 and the same with the modification of the chipset jrc4558d Dad and two carbon film Resistors (for purists) that go. It rcent, a date this weekend.

T say everything on the pedals like green frogs, so let's focus on modification and comparison.
Collection's outdoor nothing will change.
Customization side about 4 euros excluding shipping and welding equipment amateur (yes, no more!) Achte when the right components in the right place, especially on the internet and on a German site particulirement well srieux called banzai, but I've said nothing ...
I have done is not easy but feasible, the trick suprme implement consisting of a support chipset instead of the component, and then, 1 / 2 second components can be interchanged on the seamless support, a great happiness, two pedals in one.
I put 8 because you have when even spend a little time to dssouder and resolder all, it's not as easy when you do not need the CAP and that this requires patience and documentation, but internet is full of photos on this opration.

UTILIZATION

The change is when the same radical enough, what I like, because everything has to be a nuance, it's less cool.
The texture is grainy, but more gentle time, it's more crisp. The sound of the TS9 is actually rather compact compress, flt and warm, the mod makes it more open and less size. So it's more singing and more freely share a little in every sense, especially as the tonality is more open, hollow, the sound gets really deep. The CONTRL of tonal changes in addition amplitide AIGS and are warm and trs trs beautiful, even the bottom right of the knob, much better made. Crunches crpitent more and makes the fender in gnral more pungent and crisp, too.
The level of overdrive has not changed too much but the feeling is different, it's more bouriffant APRS before. This change is really nice but beware, the sound changes and it is not the same as use. This much, this new sound is magic, it's the holy grail of blues guitarist fenderien.

SOUND QUALITY

The amendment allows to play more blues, TS9 rdition found anywhere for about 15 years is trs blues-rock, gniale to send a chorus consisting of good, warm and full of juice. With the new version, I have a bit more "gniaque" but it's more tart and crunchy, the rendering is more blues, the note will live a little longer, so we will use it more for rhythmic pop turneries blues or supported or on slower chorus, greasy blues.
I prfre the pedals APRS changed, but the basic version is basically more versatile, less type blues. All fawns, I now have the two home! I can not get below 10 for the audio nirvana.

OVERALL OPINION

The TS9 is a must as it can be used in many configurations, the sound is quite transparent, although it rpond the shade, it is unanimously for over 25 years. The modified version is more kind, the crunch is extraordinary, it has more depth. Everyone's gots, but those who have got it difficult change back the chipset!
Remember that this rating does almost nothing, we find this kind of components still around, that is the same as JRC4558D Texas Instrument latest issue and even manufactured bearing the m REFERENCE me, and verifies revrifi by experts, and that is really good!
10/10 for all of the work on this Ibanez MODEL worship forcment!
To consume without a fender modration preferences, knowing that even on an amp or hybrid transistors, the pedals will change or not sound as ever.
