TUBE DREAMER

ot a month goes by without seeing a new boutique pedal in the magazine. I currently have a basic setup, which includes a Tremonti Wah (I love the spring in the pedal), MXR Phase 90, MXR Analog Chorus and a compressor.

So I’m thinking about buying a kit. There are lots available that’ll apparently replicate a TS9 or 808 with the right chip. So how about an article on pedal kits? The TS would be a great place to start, as we know how it’s supposed to sound.
