Looking for a Dual Tubescreamer

I hate to ask this question because it seems I could find the answer with more research. But I don't know the name of what I want, so finding it is a needle-in-the-haystack situation.

I've got an Analogman King of Tone, and I like it pretty well. I particularly like the two independent circuits in one small box.

What I would like is something like the KoT that has TS808 circuits in it instead. I need more mids and a creamier distortion.

I do NOT want a tweaked screamer that has extended bass and a glassy distortion (like most mods). I want a classic TS808 sound.

Does anyone make such a pedal? A dual-circuit, reasonably-sized overdrive with two identical TS808s in it?

Or would this be a custom job?

Thanks in advance!

Keeley made a dual TS-9 in the original Ibanez box, called the Frankenscreamer. I have one - it has a switch for toggling between his Baked and Plus mods. Way cool.

I also have a dual TS-9 (in the original Ibanez box) modded by Vaughn Cost with 2 vol, 2 gain knobs, 2 Tri switches for bass boost and clipping choices. Also, way cool.

That's a great price - is it pretty accurate to a Ibanez 808/9? The overdrive channel said it has more body - does that mean it has a different voicing/eq? Or can you dial in a normal TS9?

i haven't owned that pedal yet but when i read more body i read more bottom end like more bass. i know its not exactly what op wanted but from what i read two ts-808's or ts-9s cut alot of bass...

What about the SRB808? I think it has some toggle options, but doesn't it have 'stock' 808 sounds?

Right, that is what I read too - I emailed them to find out cuz that seems like an interesting pedal. I run 2 TS9 Silvers, but for $70, if it can do the trick, I might have to give it a try. I definitely don't want more bass though.

There was a JAM pedals dual tube screamer in the emporium - they apparently make a good pedal.

Um, why not just get two TS808s and slap 'em on your board and be done with it?
