Ibanez TS7 Question
Hello there.......The new TS7....What is the switch on that unit boosting,and is it both a gain and low end boost going on there or what? I haven't played through one of these,but seems they aren't to bad either from what I've heard and a price of like $45 or so?...Kind of like the poor man's TS9,just like the TS5 was when it came out years ago....John S.

IMO better than the TS5 and a great effect when improved!

Just picked up one of these from the evil empire for $50 last week. Has the mythical 4558 chip.  
From my limited experience, it appears to slightly boost the low end, but the gain then shoots through the roof; more metal-zone sounding than TS.  
So far I'm really happy with the TS circuit; I've yet to tweak any of the output resistors, but will probably use RG's info to increase bass response.  
Regards,  
John

this is an amazing pedal (on boost mode it almost fools you that it isn't a distortion pedal it has a nice rough lead tone the only thing i thnk it is missing is a an external switch.  
i must tell u that this thing gets very tempermental if u take its mids away but if u like mids this a really good pedal  
thats my 2 cents
