I currently have a TS-9 with the Keeley Mod Plus. This pedal kicks ass. Love it.
I also was playing through the MXR distortion+ for when i wanted more crunch and for some lead work.
The MXR just didnt sound good with the TS-9.
So i sold it.
Im either gonna buy another TS-9 from keeley but with the Baked mod, or the Boss distortion DS-1 keeley mod with the ultra and sem switch.
I think Id much rather go with the TS-9 Baked mod but not sure if its gonna have enough distortion.
Was wondering if someone has any insight for me.
Thanks

I miss you already, I miss you all day
Well, i already have the Mod Plus, and from they way I understand it the Baked mod is definetly closer to a distortion pedal.

I own it. It's kind of like taking the output section of a TS9 and strapping it to a Rat. It just depends on how much gain you want. Some like it some don't. I've enjoyed it but I don't know how long I'll keep it.
The baked mod certainly is a great option for a number 2 though. It's probably a bit smoother than the rat which is more compressed and gritty. I think Keeley has some clips available.
Trent Berry has some clips for you of the Baked TS-9

ME!
I've got a TS-9 Plus Mod and a TS-9 Baked Mod. The Baked is pretty close to the range of a stock DS-1, just clearer signal. Lots of gain, lots of output. The Plus Mod into the Baked Mod is great, because I set my Plus as a grit/boost, and the Baked as a distortion, and the two together is quite powerful. The key is dealing with the compression... having two tubescreamers on will compress your signal a lot, so the volume can be hard to match to a clean signal. But I've got more than enough gain with my two Keeley's.
The other option, if you really want to expand your options, is a Line 6 DM-4:

A little of everything...
Thanks dude.
I went with the Baked Mod. I think thts what im looking for.
Question.
From guitar to amp what do you put first the mod plus or the baked mod.
I always get stupid wih the signal flow.
I now have
Guitar , Wah , Phase 90 , Tube screamer , Delay , Amp.
Where do i put the baked mod?

I would go...
Guitar -> Wah -> Phase 90 -> Plus Mod -> Baked Mod -> Delay -> Amp

No prob...
Enjoy!
Do you get sick amount of unwanted noise and feedback with the second screamer.
Im getting too much feedback.
Any ideas?

Well, the Baked model has gobs of gain, and gain is what causes feedback...
What kinda guitar you play? And amp?
Are you playing the Baked with the gain all the way up? Are you playing REALLY close to the amp (like, 3 feet or less)?
What causes feedback is when your guitar picks up the sound from your amp, and reproduces this. The easiest way for this to happen is for the amp's sound to cause the strings to vibrate... which is why muting the strings usually stops feedback. But some pickups can pick sound up on their own, without the strings vibrating... I'm wondering if that's what's happening here. This is the kind of thing that allows people to sing into their guitar pickups.
Are you just getting feedback, or is there other noise too?
