    yeah but with so much else to buy how can I justify a pedal that will make my guitar sound like R2D2?

    Think you/we have toys issues... check this out:

    http://mixonline.com/ar/audio_mars_volta/index.htm

    Scroll down to the pic of his pedal collection. Insane...

    Then again, who wouldn't want to record in an old haunted mansion that the Chili Peppers used for Blood Sugar Sex Majik, all while working with Rick Rubin?

    I think I'll get a Maxon Tubescreamer soon... either that, or a TS-9 Ibanez and get a brown card mod. Got any spare time, Exhausted?
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    check out the sound clips on robertkeeley.com. good idea of what he can do with his changes. these kind of mods are way beyond me at this time.

    edit: shoot. looks like he only has one mp3 for his tubescreamer changes.

    I just spent 40 minutes on Keeley's site... unfuckingbelievable.

    I think I'm gonna sell my stock TS-9 and buy his combo deal... the TS-9/808 Plus Mod and the TS-9/808 Baked Mod. That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. And for $295, shipping included? The stock TS-9 goes for $99.99 on MF, and then probably $15 per to ship, that's $230 right there! Gotta wait on a couple Ebay toy bids, but I'm making a purchase soon.

    there is a site with 10 or 12 of the baked sound clips I think.

    Check out Jason Barker's site http://www.steelbender.com for clips of my Barber direct drive and Keeley's Compressor and Blues Driver


    McCready you can't go wrong with Keeley. Just look at the list of artists. Frampton is about as anal with tone as you can get well except for maybe Eric Johnson.

    You want the Super Clear SRV sound Keeley will make it for you. Uber quality work. This guy has a tremendous passion for what he does. when you add it up the prices are great for the work that is done

    Really, I'm looking for three tones:
    1) Glassy Fender tube clean. Got that already.
    2) Mild, chunky overdrive. Not saturated, still pretty clean tone. Think Ed's setup: Right on the edge.
    3) Thicker drive, more saturation, something to bring a lead out top and make some crunchy power chords.

    With the two Keeleys, I can get the two distortion sounds out of my Fender. I'm already a Tubescreamer-for-life guy, so why not get the best of the best?

    Ultimately, I don't need any super-saturated lead tones (Hendrix, McCready) but I do need some funky riff tones (Stone) and driving power chord tone (AC/DC, Zeppelin).

    Thanks for the advice...

    you can get it all with that set up on the Fender. It will be exactly what you want.

    Crank the volume and listen to the notes melt

    Okay, lost another Ebay auction by $5. Guess that's a sign... "Buy the Keeley"...

    The reviews on Harmony Central are almost rediculous:
    "THE man is on my x-mas card list, I want him on my next birthday party, I want him to be the godfather of my next child. I don't think there is a nicer guy in the industry. He answers emails faster than you can send them. Free shipping all over the world. The man cares. And he is a true craftsman."

    I'm 99.999987% sure I'm getting these two pedals.

    Anyone want a Tubescreamer?

    just have him mod yours. He will still give you the package price I'm sure.

    Yeah, thought about that, but I think I'd rather just start with new ones. Mine's been around the block a couple times, not too sure about the switch these days. Besides, I have a friend who kinda wants a Tubescreamer, maybe I'll sacrifice it to him for $70 or so.

    Damn, my debit card has a $200 limit per purchase... Guess I'll have to mail him a USPS Money Order...

    God, I'm getting giddy.

    I hope you love them. At the moment I have a Keeley Rat 2 that is loud as all get out. It'd take the walls down if I opened her up but the neighbors don't like that much.

    I've pissed my neighbors off with my Vibro-Champ. Like to see the reaction if I plugged in the 4 x 10"...

    I might just do that, the second that package hits my doorstep.

    i'm still trying to figure out whether i want to send him my sparkle drive or an SD-1.

    right now, i'm planning on leaving the SD-1 in front of one channel of the amp (think mccready in 98 with the TS9 in front of the dirty side) and using the sparkle and comp.

    but i honestly think i like the blues driver mod better than the the sparkle drive (which is just a TS808 type circuit by a different company).

    i don't need any heavy distortion out of any of them. i just want good tone.

    in other news, my muff seems to be on steroids since i changed the volume pot. it's so saturated.

    ex. not quite an 808 is the Blues Driver. Really not a TS at all.

    see remarks made by Jason Barker on http://www.steelbender.com

    steelbender spotlight.

    Blues Drivers do not have the mid hump they are like a fuzz face with the volume up the gain down and the volume on the guitar down. Think Allman Brothers tone.

    no, i meant the sparkle was the 808 type.

    ah. yes. and a very good clean boost at that. I can't decide if I want a Blues driver or another TS or a Fuzz either.
