This unit replaces an Ibanez TS-5, and does it well.
I have an Ibanez TS-5 Tube Screamer that I really like. The TS-5 is the same circuit as the TS-9, but it's in a plastic case. It sounds the same as the TS-9 function in this pedal, but since this unit is in a metal case, it's much more durable. The option of using a TS-808 simply by flipping a switch is a useful function, as well. Tonal adjustments offer a fairly good range of sounds. I use the volume to set the amount of drive, and the level to set the overdrive output the same as the undriven volume of the guitar.
This unit was less expensive than buying the two Ibanez units, and takes up a lot less space than two pedals. Unless you MUST have a Wampler or other boutique unit, consider this one.
