nic	not fixed Yep it gets worse when the drive is turned up. And even worse when I switch to the "turbo" setting. Thankfully, the turbo setting is not worth using anyway. The Hammond case is a good idea but sorta defeats the reason for buying an Ibanez one in the firstplace... I should just auction this one off and get a new one or make my own from scratch. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between the modded and unmodded versions. Maybe my ear is untrained, maybe I am blessed. Unfortunately, they are trained enough to be annoyed with a tiny bit of bleed. BTW I have heard that the company that makes Ibanez's pedals, Maxon makes their own TS808 version only released in only Japan. I don't know if this a rumor, I don't remember seeing them when I lived there, maybe it's a new thing? Sorta reminds me of the SUper Tube Screamer chain. It's the politics that keep Ibanez from going back to the old way, I've been told. Nobody can supply them with a few million JRC's for them to go back to what players everywhere want. It's unfortunate they don't just come this way from the factory. I can't imagine that they care as so many people just go out and get the factory ones anyway and have them modded. nic
