TS10 Tube Screamer Mod Kit
There are several things that sets this kit apart from all the others. First and foremost are the instructions; they are top notch with both a VIDEO as well as a PDF ~ both are complete containing a set of detailed yet concise instructions to complete this Mod is about 30 minutes. The PDF has step by step color photo's so that, even if you've never soldered before, or are not mechanically inclined, the instructions walk you right through it ~ I've enclosed a small sample here in this listing. Secondly, unlike other inferior mods, this is the most intensive kit you can buy, with a full 15 Point Modification that perfects the Tube Screamer sound. Thirdly, I worked to obtain the highest quality parts to ensure the best possible performance. Finally, installing this Kit adds $50+ to the value of your pedal! This Kit works for the TS9 & TS808 pedals.

Really ? But I didn´t know that they have the desired Malaysian chip inside....Since most TS10's have a stock Vintage JRC4558D Chip there is usually no need for a Chip Mod.
Better when you would include a Texas Instruments RC4558.....If yours happens to have the TA7558P Chip email me and I'll include a JRC4558D with your kit.
And the newer Tube Screamers are built for what ?TS808 Brown Mod
The original Tube Screamers were built to overdrive tube amps and this TS9 has been restored to the original TS-808 specs.
yes, yes....to use a carbon comp for the pull down resistor will do that - and who should believe that shit ?This mod changes both the inferior 470 ohm and the 100k ohm Carbon Film output resistors to 100 ohm and 10k ohm Carbon Composition output resistors for a warmer & quieter tone.
The only problem with this mod is that you have to change the 47n to a 100n too to obtain the same frequency response.Superior Gain Mod Mod
Changing the value of the 4.7k resistor to a 2.2k Resistor increases the gain. This Mod adds that extra bit of gain I always wanted while maintaining the clarity and diction of chords as well as individual notes.
Hmmm.... I am not aware of any polyester capacitor without a metal film on the polyester/polycarbonat (or whatever used) foil.... so let´s see what this guy is selling:High Fidelity/Clarity Mod
Changing two of the low quality stock polyester .047uF capacitors to higher quality Metal Film Capacitors....

Hey..... that are (metallized) polyester/polycarbonat film capacitors...
What ? At the low end there will not be any audible difference.....makes for a tighter bottom and more fullness of tone throughout.
clearer ....tone and ..... some warmth... what mojo BS-talk....Also changing the 2 stock 1uf electrolytic capacitors to superior Metal Film Capacitors provides an overall clearer, more focused tone and adds some warmth to the gain structure.
...sweetens up the output.....and clarifies the muddiness.... another mojo BS-talk...Superior Output Mod The last capacitor in the signal path is vital to the tone of this model. Changing stock electrolytic 10uf output capacitor to a 10uf Tantalum Capacitor sweetens up the output nicely and clarifies the overall muddiness of the stock pedal.
In the component list are listed only two 0.1 µF capacitors (no different value) - which are in fact (metallized) polyester/polycarbonat film capacitors.Fat Mod
Changing two of the inferior stock .1uf polyester capacitors to superior metal film capacitors of a slightly different value fattens up the gain nicely.
That´s the biggest bullshit of all - there will not be any change in the bass response by changing the 470 Ohm resistor to a 100 Ohm resistor.Bass Response
The stock Tube Screamer doesn't allow all of the bass frequencies to pass through. By changing the 470 ohm output resistor to a 100 ohm Carbon Comp resistor, this allows the full spectrum of bass frequencies to pass without altering or sacrificing the classic Tube Screamer sound.
No comment on this bullshit ....High End Response
By using a 100k ohm output resistor, the stock Tube Screamer allows a lot of noise to pass through your signal. By changing the 100k ohm resistor to a 10k ohm resistor, this mod limits the high end hiss as there are no usable guitar frequencies past 10k ohms.
And how this should influence the two times buffered tone control ?It also helps to make the tone control more useful without altering the classic Tube Screamer sound.
ok...enough of this bullshit... my stomach is rebelling....
