Analogman silver/tv mod TS808 vs. keeley 808

[EXP]

im looking for a clean/clear OD with clarity but also with sustain. im considering the AM siver mod TS808. has anybody tried the Analogman silver or ' true vintage ' mod TS808 ? has anybody done an a/b comparison between the Analogman and the Keeley?

Whoa man, check out my post regarding the TriBooster before buying one. That thing is the most amazing clean boost.

thats pretty cool, but no sound clips.

 

[gururyan]

maybe I can make some.

I have to find my recording gear, it' still packed up from the move into the new house.

I have both, the Keeley has more low end and maybe a little more gain on tap. The Silver has less mid hump and the low end is tighter. They are both very good, I like the Silver the most. I haven't heard the True Vintage though.

I had both - the Silver mod sounded clearer and more transparent. It's the one that I kept.

AM's SD-1/808 Silver is very good.

also check out vaughn's mods dual-tri-mode ts9 for another option

end game, for me

anybody use an Eternity and a AM TS808 silver mod?

 

[Thor]

I really like my TS9 AM silver-mod - an inexpensive alternative to a KLON!

 

[EXP]

i have an Eternity, do i really need a TS808 silver mod for clean boost?

I had Keeley un-mod my Silver and re-do it his way. I'm much happier. It sounded like my signal was being split on a mixing board--one clean, one OD--and brought together again. Couldn't get into the "transparency" effect. It sounded okay, but it sounds better now.

 

[EXP]

yeah, but im going for cleaner/clearer with clarity, and i thought the silver mod would better suit my needs.

Sounds like you've found the one!

I went with the Keeley and couldn't be happier! I purchased the TS9DX after talking with him about what I was after. I have to say that I am always torn between the last mode and the 1st which is the regular TS9. Also you might want to check this link out, this helped me make my decision

I too wast thinking about getting analogmans mod, but after talking with Robert (amazing service!) and wanting the most bang for my buck I went with the TS9DX. I haven't dealt with A man, but I hear his customer service and mods are also top notch so I don't think you can go wrong. I would encourage you, however, to check out Keeleys TS9DX though.
