Your Favorite Tubescreamer to Recommend?
I have 2 mosferatu's, a zendrive, a tbiac, a box of rock, with a woodrow and super 6 coming. They cover my needs. Also a Katana, RC, Gainster that it looks like I'll be selling (although I like them all a lot too). thining about a Tiimy, Eternity, and Cactus Crunch (I usually have 3-5 on the board at any one time).
But I'd like to have a TS for old times sake and because sometimes I still really like that sound.
What's your favorite TS style pedal? I'm inclining toward the Red Snapper, but what do you recommend?
Thanks!

I'm probably in a minority here.
I haven't tried the Red Snapper.

the Maxon OD808 and OD820 work fine for me

The MJM Blues Devil seems to be pretty highly regarded for the TS-808 tones.

That's pretty funny, given the recent thread on the topic.

My "go to" TS9 type pedal is the FDII 10th Anniversary. Have not tried the Red Snapper though.

Blues Devil, Blues Devil, Blues Devil, oh my!
+10 on the BLues Devil - the most natural sounding TS sound + and screams without sounding phony. You like to bend and hold notes? This is the one!

What TS type would you recommend for softest attack, really smooth, warm and more gain?

Keeley modded ts-9 (a Keeley modded SD-1 is a nice change from a 100% ts-9-ish sound) or my '97 and '96 Fulltone FD II's.

I own two Ibanez TS-10's and love 'em ! Also I've got a great sounding modded Boss SD-1/808.

I just scored a Silver Jeckyll & Hyde that is fantastic!

Use the other botton to take a very rich smooth TS out into other realms, I'd maybe even say Marshalesque.

I haven't played it that much yet, but I can tell you I love it.
