I have a TS10 that I would like to get modified to the 808 spec, but I was wondering: am I better off with a modifed TS9 or does the modified TS10 sound just as good?

The TS-10 circuit will be the same when I’m done. But when I modify a TS-9 not only is the circuit the same, but the circuit board is identical and everything is 100% a TS-808 except the box. For some reason the TS-10s seem to sound different as you switch them on, instead of coming right on like a TS-9 or 808 they have a slight woof. Also if all 3 knobs are up all the way, a TS-10 modded to 808 specs will emit a short squealing sound. ** I have now solved the switching problem and chirping in my 808 mods, no extra charge. The TS-10 jacks are much cheaper and tend to fail much more often than the TS-9. So the option is yours, a modified TS-10 will sound great and be much cheaper if you already have one but you might sleep better knowing you have the ultimate if you have a TS-9 modified.
