Yeah, it does come with more than one op amp. I think that there is a couple of other differences between the TS8 and TS9. A resistor here and there or something like that. They are very similar though. There's a bunch of other options in there as well. Like extra diodes for antisymetical...

Hi guys, I recently bought a kit from build your own clone for the tube screamer. In the kit are all the parts to build either a TS8 OR a TS9. Has anyone tried both with a DR? What the difference? Which do you prefer? Why? Cool, rock on!

The cheapest option is just to turn the gain up. It sustains longer, the only problem is that it sounds too..... well, gainy. That didn't really help did it. I haven't tried this with mine at low volumes but last night during practice I cranked the mids (to 3 o clock). My guitar started...

Cool, thanks! It's so much easier to get a good tone close to the amp anyway, and it's the sound that I hear when I'm standing on stage. I just feel sorry for the guys in the first few rows (i.e 10 feet back from amp) - though hopefully they are getting most of their sound from the frount of...

Here's an idea that I still want to try: A compression pedal. I'm having a bit of trouble getting a good lead tone out of my roadster. I think mainly because there is a big volume drop between playing rhythm, (i.e. heavy courds and hitting the strings hard) and then playing lead (single notes...

Thanks for the information guys :D Let me optimize the question a little bit: I want to set my amp up in the jam room so that it sounds good when I'm playing live. I've noticed that when I stand next to my amp it sounds warmer - probably because I'm getting the sound reflected off the...

Ok, so sound of different frequencies doesn't really travel at different speeds. (Unless you get into dispersion - let's not) If you remember back to physics class: Velocity = frequency X wavelength The velocity of sound in air will be constant, around 330 metres per second. So that leaves...

Hi there, I've got a sound engineering type question: I've noticed that my amp sounds different depending on where I'm standing in the room - especially at loud volumes. This shouldn't be news to anyone. My question is: If you were going to mic up the amp, where would you stand when dialing in...

Man, you guys are so lucky in America! My new PRS custom 22 cost me AU$5000! That's still $4100 US dollars! Here's another sentence that ends in an exclamation point!!! Sure it's 10 top and a quilt to boot but still..... I say buy the guitar and say "God bless America" - or something like...

^ +1 to that I'm loving the roadster but I'm still having a bit of trouble getting a good lead tone. Sustain is my main problem - even when it's very loud (output and channel volumes at noon). I was thinking of getting a TS or a compression pedal. I'm leaning more towards the compression...

Ahhhh! The internet! Somebody's thinking. Ok so here's the bit that had me worried: The Rectifier Tracking feature monitors the Channels, determines their power status and automatically selects the proper rectifier type - which ultimately assures the best sound. This provides optimization of...

thanks phyrexia - that's what I thought happened. I remember reading that in one section of the manual. It was just in this other bit that it became confusing. I'll have to try and remember to bring the manual into work tomorrow so that I can quote it... Then again I could just be happy with...

I have a question about the rectifier tracking on the roadster. I was reading the manual last night - I don't have it with me now so I can't quote it directly but what I got from it was that the recto-tracking automatically selects the silicon diodes when I switch the amp to 100 watts. Is this...

Get a roadster. The cleans are KILLER! KILLER! And channel 3 and 4 give you the 'Recto' tone! Chugga chug.... If you're into that sort of thing :twisted: Or better yet. Take your guitar down to your local store and play some amps. What sounds good to you, not nessasarily the people on this...

Check the cord I used to have cheap cords and often I would get radio through my amp. It would change depending on where I was standing in the room or how I was holding the cord. Sort of like you see on old TV shows where the guy has to hold the antena just right for the TV to work. Anyway, I...

As fas as I know there are 2 reasons 1) The delays are all set differently. Perhaps you need two different delay settings in the same song or different songs..... perhaps you're rich, have a record deal and no longer need to twist knobs on pedals - you just buy new ones. 2) I read that Joe...

Thanks Dom! I think I was just getting a little too hung up with tone perfection. I think I'm over that now... Thanks also to everyone who took the time to answer this question. I'll check out the Line6 delay rack unit (as well as anything else I can get my hands on). Cool! 8)

At the moment I run nothing in my loop. Actually at the moment my rig is guitar into amp. Like I said I used to play a Line6 Vetta (for about 6 years). It was cool for messing around with in my room because it had heaps of effects and amps to play with - it just didn't cut the mustard when...

Sorry to do this to you all again... I'm looking to buy a delay unit and at the moment I'm diggin' the Line6 DL4. I owned a Vetta before upgrading to the Roadster and I really like the Line6 delay models. The only problem is if I put the pedal in the loop, I'll need about 20 feet of cable...

OK. I have no experience with them myself (you might have guessed :D ) But in the March issue of Guitar One there was a list of tips to get a better tone without breaking the bank. One of the tips was: "Consider adding a small buffer amp, like the Durham Electronics Sex Drive boost pedal to...
