The Tubescreamer is quite possibly one of the most used overdrive pedals to come along. It was so sought after that Ibanez reissued them and even offers modified versions of the same pedal. Now it seems that everyone has their version of the TS9 (and other TubeScreamer models) Mod. I've tried not to offer too many "standard" mods to commercial overdrives but sometimes it's easier and less expensive to modify an existing design rather than "reinvent the wheel"   and even though I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to pedals, I do have a TS9 mod that I do.

This mod consists of adding a switch that defeats the compression and makes the TubeScreamer more dynamically responsive. I also tweak the tone a bit to redefine some of the low end the original model tends to mask. This allows you to use the TS9 as a type of  "Clean Boost". BE CAREFULL, this is a much louder and "Meaner" overdrive than the stock TS9.
