Re: TS-9 resistors

Mark Hammer	Re: TS-9 resistors Since your objective is to mimic a particular pedal issue fairly precisely rather than simply explore tonal possibilities, ideally you want to stick to the designated values. Having said that, there should be no detectable difference between a 100R value achieved in a variety of ways, such as a pair of 200R resistors in parallel, or a 22R and 75R in series, or even a 56R and a pair of 22R resistors in series. Should you fret if it isn't exactly 100R? Not really. The stock part is a 5% tolerance resistor after all, so some of the originals could have been anywhere between 95R and 105R.

Re: TS-9 resistors

Since your objective is to mimic a particular pedal issue fairly precisely rather than simply explore tonal possibilities, ideally you want to stick to the designated values. Having said that, there should be no detectable difference between a 100R value achieved in a variety of ways, such as a pair of 200R resistors in parallel, or a 22R and 75R in series, or even a 56R and a pair of 22R resistors in series.

Should you fret if it isn't *exactly* 100R? Not really. The stock part is a 5% tolerance resistor after all, so some of the originals could have been anywhere between 95R and 105R.
