The switching inside may be clever but its switching between 9 tubescreamers. Woop-de-fuckin'-do.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
Can't tell if serious or not...
I've a/b'd ts808 and ts9 before and couldn't hear any meaningful difference (apparently the circuits are actually effectively the same). I know there was the ts7 in the sound tank range (not tried that) and the ts10 (actually different) but what on earth are the others?!
The 9 pedals we have chosen...
OD-1 - 1977
An overall brighter and slightly higher gain mode that does not utilize the Tone knob. This mode also inverts signal just like the original and has symmetrical clipping. The OD-1 is magical at boosting other drives or amps into singing saturation.
TS-808 - 1979
The classic low gain with that signature pronounced mid range.
TS-9 - 1982
Nearly identical to the TS-808 but with a slightly more pushed low-mid range.
MSL, Power or L Series - 1985
Though metal is in the name, this sound doesn’t quite inspire the modern metal djent we think of. Still it has a higher gain sound with a more low end and an overall more gooey feel.
TS-10 - 1986
Made famous by John Mayer, this model is a slight upgrade from the TS9 for the late ’80s. Bluesy, crisp, more low end roll off and low gain.
Exar OD-1 1989
The EXAR is a Polish made TS-style pedal that has a slightly different drive character with a little more gain than the classic screamers as well as a slightly more transparent feel.
TS-7 (+mode) - 1999
The hot mode on this version gives you the highest gain sound in the Bonsai. More low end and dirt fill out the tone to have you shredding away.
Keeley Mod Plus - 2002
Robert Keeley’s classic mod tightens up the tone on the original giving you smoother mid range and high frequencies, and increased bass response.
JHS Strong Mod - 2008
Our own mod we’ve been doing since 2008 is much cleaner and overall more powerful. The mode has more pronounced higher nd low end drop offs.

sorry, I was serious, I love tube screamers I use them loads, I have a ton of them and they sound very similar at a base level, but have differences and those differences are some times more obvious in different settings and volumes, and sometimes with gear, sometimes it's a feel / response factor which I'm hoping this pedal will also offer if it's replicating the pedal, not the sound.
There are also some harder to find variations, or some great pedals that a prone to fail due to cheap build quality, so hopefully these have been addressed. For me as a tube screamer fan / lover I'm excited by this pedal, but you've got to love tubes creamers to appreciate it or wonder about it, if you just use them for the boost or "rounding" style of an already driven amp, I guess this will be the biggest waste of time and money for you.
so devoid of creative purpose they can't even decide which tiny variation to get behind, so stick LOTS of other people's shit in a box.
Bravo.
I'll pass.
Anyone picked one of these up?
I've been playing around on an EHX East River Drive and realised I LOVE this TS 'sound'...
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
It would be awesome if they could make one where the box changed from silver to gold at the flick of a switch.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
