Here are the details and approximate cost for each thing:

A - Ibanez TS9DX with Silver Mod (+Mode Mod) $110 for the pedal (new), $80 for the mod
B - Ibanez TS9 (no mod) $100 (new)
C - Cmatmods Ross Clone $140 (new)
D - GCB-95 Crybaby $70 (new)
E - DigiTech Whammy II ~$200 used

  1. What kind of cables are you using?

  2. I have a Monster Cable (the expensive kind) linking the two Tubescreamers and another Monster Cable (the inexpensive kind) going from the compressor to the amp, but other than that nothing special. I forget the exact brand, but all of the other cables except the one going from the wah output to the looper are some Japanese brand that cost about $15 each.

  3. nice setup Mike! I'm hoping you picked up a webcam this winter. you watching the new years run? I sold all my pedals...slimmed down to a line 6 m9. It's a fun little guy. I just got an imac, and garageband is a blast with running straight into the computer...lots of different sounds. I can't wait to see more videos.

  6. Question - are you using the Compressor before the 2 Tube Screamers?

    1. Nope, after. My understanding has always been that you want to compress the distorted/overdrive sound, not distort the compressed sound. Having the compressor after the TS-9s lets you turn up the volume on the TS-9s all the way and not have it sound like crap.
