?TS9 Keeley mod plus?

[cellardweller]

Anyone got one?

I read that the gain is doubled and they clean up better than the TS9's.

Can anyone add to this?
What genre's are they most useful for, or are they quite versatile?

I wouldn't pay any chump $150 or more to change a couple resistors and capacitors.

And to anyone who just got their panties in bunch, boohoo.

You take a modded pedal and A/B it with a unmodded pedal and you can hear the difference, but many times (notice the italics before anyone shits a brick) you can barely tell even then.

That isn't to say some mods won't sound night and day, but most people are convinced they spent all that money and it did something. Well guess what? All transistors make transistor distortion. They don't make "smooth" or "silky" or "buttermilk cream". They make distortion pedal distortion. Not that there is anything wrong with that. But there are lots of other distorton pedals if a different "texture" of distortion is all that is wanted....then for money there is two disortion pedals sitting there instead of one with $150 into it so it sounds like the other pedal.


You want 50% mroe gain? Try buying a clean boost or a overdrive pedal and send it into the TS9. Now you have 10x the options to make more textures on any given day. Don't just go buy one though, I am not suggesting that, but I am suggesting to go play one first.

I know the guys stuff is prized so if it didnt work out like you hope dyou could sell it on e bay for top dollar. I think Keeleys mod gives a tighter low end so it doesnt appear as muddy. Pretty much Rock and Blues is your genre. Very broad, I know.

Can someone pick my wedgie?

Outlaws~I know what you're getting at.
The most prevalent complaint about the TS9 is the cut in low end. The most prevalent praise of the Keeley mod is that the low end cut is no longer a problem.

SOOO! If I believe what I read....

Ehh, I'm not looking to buy new anyway, just pokin' around on ebay
