Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer Overdrive Pedal
Bought this years ago. Don't remember when.
This does NOT have the original box or paperwork. Aside from a few minor flaws, as pictured, it is in pretty good shape and in great working order.
Doing some research, this pedal is made in Japan and looks to be a 2nd version reissue silver label, with the CE symbol that still uses the original MAXON circuit board and MAXON on the battery cover. The reissues all have the TA75558 chip.
Inside battery cover reads: " MAXON M8-D01002 "
"In about 1993, Ibanez started to make the TS-9 again due to popular demand. This "reissue" is just about identical to the last "original" TS-9s in sound, circuitry, and appearance. The IC chip they use in the reissue is the same as some later original TS-9s, the Toshiba TA75558.
In about June of '96 the reissue TS-9 was changed slightly, and finally can be told from an "original" TS-9 easily. There is a "CE" symbol on the back, which is required for selling electronics in Europe.
Harmony Central has a thread w/pictures that was helpful to understand what TS-9 was what.
This pedal worked great in front of my Marshal to add that extra flavor and sustain.
