How did it go? worth the price ? or do many of the selections only have subtle differences, where at volume are indiscernible?
 
I have had one for a little over a year. Cool pedal and each mode is different enough from each other that it feels like several different versions of a TS. Don't really use it much because I prefer a regular TS9 and SD1 but it is fun for different flavors or to see what version of a TS you might like.

fun pedal, I use it into a broken up amp, i can flip through and not really need to adjust anything on the pedal or amp
 
Yes I have one parked on my board now over a year and I love it. Some of the modes pushing a crunched amp aren't useful but most are. I mean it is a no brainer. This circuit is based off the exact circuits in the original pedals that JHS had on hand in his own collection. As close as they could get them given their tolerances and component drift. It is a total bargain for what it is. The JHS and Keeley modes sound unbelievable. The OD-1 and TS-9 are great, 808 is what you'd come to expect. I leave mine parked on the ODR-1 mode though. Love it there.

Have no fear you will hear the differences flipping through the various circuits. I'm never getting rid of this pedal.
 
I have one too. It is good to have on board when You using different amps. Some likes OD-1 better, others TS10. Those cicuits aren’t world apart but different enough to justify quite hefty price tag.
