I bought for 80$CA an ibanez ad-9, and the pedal works really well.. but i'd like to know what's the difference with the Maxon's !?

    Maxons are supposedly amazing quality. Same delay time, works the same, better chip i think.

    I see.. indeed, these pedals are really good. I shall get the famous ts-9 tube screamer ? is the new one still has a good sound ? OR I better wait to get the original one ?

    the price difference is due to components, quality control and true bypass in the maxon versions of all the 9 series pedals.

    that being said, i'm not sure there is $160US difference between the two.

    i plan to side-by-side them soon as i'm back in the delay market.

    the maxon OD-9 sounds better than the ibanez TS-9. both sound better than the horrible new ibanez 808 reissue.

    vintage is overrated.

    wow I need this one, listen to the samples over the link..

    too though, I should change my rocktron amp to something better before to get new pedals.. It's a good amp but it sounds too metal..
