TS-808 Silver Mod

From the Manufacturer:
The Classic TS-808 sound is well known and loved by thousands of players and millions of music fans. It cuts through the mix in live situations very well and sounds full and warm, with a vocal frequency spectrum. However some guitar players feel it is a bit too heavy in the midrange and loses a bit too much bottom end, especially people who play fairly clean or alone or in a small combo. The TS-808 EFFECTS your sound, but in a good way. The SILVER option allows it to add the drive and warmth without EFFECTING your sound quite as much- it is more transparent, it does not sound like you are using an effect pedal as much. In 2002 Analog Man came up with a new TS9/808/silver option to meet the requirements of those few super discriminating players. This modification is done in addition to the normal TS-808/Brown mod. It uses many expensive components to make the TS-808 circuit really come alive. The Silver Mod is designed for people who want more clarity, less compression and midrange than a standard tube screamer. The TV mod is the exact vintage TS808 circuit and sound, ultimate warmth and smoothness. But the differences between silver and TV are pretty subtle, if you have not played tube screamers much you probably will not hear a lot of difference.

Comment:
This is a great sounding effect. It adds light to mild over drive. its a nice complement to the ultra clean sound of the Twin RI or as a little bit of extra OD for the Bad Cat.
