anybody try one? I am interested in one, but would like to know if its worth the extra dough :rock:
 
im not hearing enough of a difference to warrant one


 
bump

Anyone here that has tried this one? I have the mini TS9 and I think it works fine, but, I'm a little gassy for this.
 
Ordered one anyway, lets see how it goes. Anyways since they are limited run, they probably might get more expensive and I can sell it later if I don't end up liking it.

Quick update. Received this pedal, and compared to a stock 808 it is smoother, less mid hump,quieter. If you will use it strictly as an overdrive, its great, very sweet sounding gain, so if you play blues or something where you would actually use the pedal's drive you might want to consider it, but since I only use tubescreamers as boosts for my high gain amps (low drive, tone to taste, level near 100%), it is about 10% different than other TS type pedals I have, so I will be sending back.

Great review :thumbsup:
 
I just listened through my ear pods. I think both pedals sounded shitty in that YT example.
