I prefer overdrive to fuzz. Of the ones I have owned, the original TS-9 was outstanding, I wish I stiil had it. Later, I had an Ibanez UE 300 that had a TS-9, a compressor, and a chorus box all built in. You can occasionaly find those today for less than an original TS-9. Wish I still had it. I had a Klon Centaur that was amazing, everything it was cracked up to be, but it took up a lot of real estate on my pedal board, so I sold it. wish I still had it. Are you seeing a trend here? currently I own a fulltone fulldrive 2, and a distortion pro as well. The fulldrive is great sounding, and very versatile with the extra footswitchable gain boost. I like the distortion pro, but I'm not sure if I'll keep it as my taste is less "big hair" and more "no hair" these days! It is however, an excellent distortion box capable of major saturation and boucou tweeking. I'm hoping to demo the TS-808 reissue soon, I hope its good cause I'd like to replace my distortion pro with something that size and sound. A while back, I had a TS-9 reissue that Anolog Man modified, which was very good and smooth and creamy sounding........ ..........wish I still had it Bill -----Original Message----- From: Bernhard Wagner [mailto:loopdelightml@nosuch.biz] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 1:36 PM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: RE: OT: Fuzz I read in a musician's friend's catalogue about a reissue of the TS808. The paragraph was really funny, sarcastic, something like "same nutty hardware, same seasick green colour", ... I've looked for the text online, found approx. that passage but, alas, not the same sarcastic paragraph. Anyhow, my all-time fav IS good ole' Seasick Green. It was the first pedal I got (around 1982) and it's still going strong. It has gathered a few friends around it, like the Compression Sustainer CS-2 and the Octave OC-2. When looping, I like to lay a fat bass line with the OC-2 and then double that with a CS-2ed and TS808ed unisono. TS808 / OC-2 / CS-2 (supposed to be played as a loop): http://nosuch.biz/soundz/explainTheBass03.wav (~ 460K) More recently, I discovered the "Satch..." distortion on the MPX G2, which comes along pretty analog... I should work more on that "beat boxing" (and voice, *blush*), but still, an example for the "Satch..." / OC-2: http://nosuch.biz/soundz/CaliforniaSun.mp3 (~ 3MB) (To the new friends from Loopstock 2004! ;-) Bernhard > -----Original Message----- > From: Per Boysen [mailto:per@boysen.se] > Sent: Freitag, 4.
