1. There's very little difference between them.
2. This pedal isn't *really* replicating each circuit electronically, just approximating its sound.
It seems gimmicky to me- show me the real-world gig where anybody needs to replicate nine different kinds of Tubescreamers. It seems more like a discussion piece for guitar nerds, or something a builder does because he can, not because anyone wants him to.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
probably a good pedal tho
could be useful if you want a TS but not sure which variation to get. and don't wanna spend out a load to find out.
I originally bought the EQD palisades because of all the TS options, I figured the EQD could point me in the right direction.
turns out the clipping variations and all sorts and very nomical. and its actually perfect for me to get the sound I like by boosting driven amps.
I wonder how much having 'the Keely name on there has cost.

Have there been many variations on the Klon? I thought it was pretty much the one circuit...
A RAT based one would probably work, but that's been done before...

I once had a TS-9, which I fitted with a switch to swap the two resistor values to the TS-808 ones, which are the only difference between the two circuits.
There was NO difference. None. Zero. You couldn't even hear the switch was working. (It was, I checked very carefully.)
That doesn't necessarily mean that every TS-9 and every TS-808 sounds the same - component tolerance variations and drift in the rest of the circuit do make a noticeable difference between individual examples, as the JHS chap himself says. But there is really nothing inherent in the difference between the models.
The TS-10 is quite a different circuit though, with an extra buffer stage if I remember rightly - not something that's easy to put on a rotary switch.

It's still weasely enough language that it's unclear if they mean that they're electronically identical, or that they sound exactly the same despite *not* being identical. I suspect the latter.

I think the term 'perfectly replicated' is just a more polite way of saying 'exact clone'
If this is true that it's actually hardware switching components around then it's pretty awesome engineering within the confines of a pedal surely? I have no reason to doubt the veracity of what he claims, because it would be easy enough to disprove when they ship and people take the back off and do gut shots.
Who cares anyway, if you want it buy it, if you don't want to buy it and fall for the saleswank as you put it, walk on by...........
I won't be buying it as my Timmy is awesome and I have a TS anyway, but if you're in the market it's a decent option for those with the cash.
