JD Sleep	Re: TS9 reissue Probably not a lot of players who still consider a TS9 as the Holy Grail. Historically speaking, when they were first produced, there wasn't a lot of small pedals that could get that sound, so I can see why they were treasured by some players. Now there are lots of pedals that are similar. We get a lot of complaints about the tone of TS9s here on this board, personally I never met a Tube Screamer I didn't like (sound tanks included). A little knob tweaking and I seem to always get something I like out of it. Could be my particular guitar/amp/"style of playing" set-up that makes it work for me. JD
