    Probably not... get yourself a used TS-808 RI and save that doh! the new Ibanez mini Tube Screamers are great too.

    No. The "hand wired" thing is clearly bullshit when you realise there are more components inside that tiny mass-produced 4558 chip than in the whole of the rest of the circuit :).

    Fools and money and all that...

    I would buy a TS-9 because it's the exact same circuit apart from two resistors which make no difference to the sound, and it has a better switch.

    Some people say it's got more clarity than the original but then if I'd paid nearly £400 for a pedal, I'd want to convince myself it was worth it.

    Even when that wire is 'Japanese Mogami OFC cable'!!

    Looks spiffy.
