Questions people ask about this model

Is my TS9 a vintage one?

Original 1980s TS9s sell far above this range. Reissues are the common ones. Check the label and the circuit board if the seller will open it.

TS9 or TS808?

Close relatives. The TS808 is the earlier design and often sells for a little more. Both are classic green overdrives.

Is a TS9 worth flipping?

It sells very fast, but the margin is small. Pedal bundles are where the money is: split them and sell each one.

Selling one on

Boss, Strymon, Line 6 Helix/HX, TC Electronic, EHX all liquid. Bundles of pedals are often the best deals - split and sell individually.

Tiny; eBay / Reverb exit.
