Hello from the Great White North! :) I just wanted to write a review of my trusty Analog Man tube screamer. I had Mike do the "Silver mod" on my tube screamer, (oh its got to be at least 10 years ago now), and it still sounds as good as the first day i got it back, probably even better.... I've gone through many guitars, and amplifiers since then, but I've always had my good ol' tube screamer as the core of my overdrive tone. I can honestly say that I have had many, MANY compliments on my tone over my years of gigging, no matter what guitar i was playing, and I attribute it all to Mike's handy work. :) My drive tone is still so warm and smooth for my lead work, and the rhythm tones i get through this pedal....well, forget about it. I love the silver mod because it allows a little more of the natural guitar tone to come through, so as a result, I find the pedal "growls" more than a buzz type drive.....sweet to my ears ;).
Thanks Mike!!

OK pedal made great

Stock TS-9 was ok, but Silver mod was a definite few notches up. Much more transparency, less distortion but still great gain, really just "adds" to the sound now; has power and overdrive, but still retains it clarity, transparency, and you can still hear the guitar, not just the distortion. Using this last after a BD-2 Super. A true professional pedal, turns your TS-9 into an even better TS-808 for an affordable price. If I had to keep one pedal out of the 10 in my pedal chain, it would be this one, it defines my lead tone. I have been looking for a ballsy yet classy, clear, professional distortion/OD sound for years now, ......the search is over.

I have two of these badboys and they are the best. Use a bicomp and they sound even better. Analogman is the very best.

This mod is awesome. The perfect combination of crunch and color. This pedal combined with my Fender blues amp give the much-sought after SRV sound.

I honestly hated my Tubescreamer. I couldn't understand why it was so "great" of pedal. As a last ditch effort i sent it to Analog Mike for 45 bucks or so. WOW. Now, i have sustain, a beautiful mid tone, and a light crunch for bar chord work thats not overpowering. The sustain is awesome. I prefer the drive about 12-1 oclock, tone about 2-3, and volume just a hint above my amp for my perfect sustaining lead. I have several songs i play a one string sliding lead (think ebow) and this nails them without having to repluck the string. WOW. I recommend getting the DS1 mod to run infront of this for the perfect setup- rhythym into lead (TS9 for a lead boost, the DS1 dirties it up just enough)
10 years and still going strong
