YOU MARTY TAUGHT ME how to play my very first cover solo with the Fade to Black video by Metallica you made six years ago. In fact, that solo was the first thing I had ever learned to play on guitar... I was only 18. Over the years, my ability to play has grown tremendously due to that inspiration I received from you that day so many years ago and for that I am forever grateful for what it is you've meant to me in my life and to the lives of many others. Helping me find my love for guitar changed my life and always will I be thankful and appreciative for everything it is you do. Thank you Marty. 😌
Now normally I do not do this and never have I requested a video to be made... however, there is a solo I'd absolutely love if you could help me with and learn to play. It's the opening solo to "The Ballad" by Testament. Nobody has ever made a tutorial video for that song, ever! It'd be amazing if you could. Again, thank you for everything Marty, truly 🙂

legend
You are a hero.
Your kind is indanger of extinction
differentation is clear, ts9 wins
TS9 = Quack/Clarity
TS808 = Creamy/Subtle
hi man , thanks so much for that lovely video , its great, i`ve just order order my ts9 will arrive monday , done lots of research on ts9, but i`m glad i will have it .
ND FOR ME its ts9 sound better , with that texture for soloing . ,just need to figure out where its goes in the pedals board.you a legend my friend . keep it up
I always thought the 808 sounded a little muddy - TS9 always more clarity. But you’re playing is so good, they both sound fantastic!
I came upon this video because I am interested in purchasing one if these pedals. It was great to find a comparison video that did a very nice job at making my decision even tougher! Both pedals sound GREAT! I agree that the TS808 is a bit smoother then the TS9. However, it all really depends on your playing style, and ears. You can't go wrong with either pedal.
TS9 for sure!!! Love your strat man! Glad to see a fellow strat owner jamming out
I hear the differences you mentioned. In the context of this video (not hearing them live), I prefer the TS-9. It seems to be crisper and more pronounced. The TS-808 seems like it could easily get lost in the frequency soup of a live mix.
completely subjective to the setting it is on and to what pickups you are using. I prefer the 808 as it doesn't cut out sound but magnifies it. I can switch from my neck to my bridge pickup to make up for whatever frequency I want to hit.
I use both live, they both cut through as good as each other if they are set up right
I pick the 808 cause I think it looks more interesting. Definitely there's a degree of individual personality between the two of them if you match the knob positions, but either can match the other throughout most of the useful range. Classic pedals.
Excellent video. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the 808 on its own, but for me, at the end in the mix, the TS9 just sets you apart. Love it!
I COMPLETELY agree! I preferred the 808 in the beginning and then switched out to the TS9 at the end.
Hi! I've just learnt Black And Blue Bird by Dave Matthews Band and thought it's a perfect song to make a lesson about. It took me some time to figure out the timing (3x 5/8 1x6/8 and 6/8 in chorus). It's also fun to play it as a fingerstyle excercise.
I prefer the sound of ts808. I like the warmer sound. I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for all you do.
Awesome, Marty. I run both. TS9 as the pre (front) overdrive at the start of my pedal chain to push the downstream effects when I want. The 808 as post (end). This allows me to stack them with each other (thank you, SRV!) or with the pedals in between. I like the 808 at the end because it simulates an overdriven amp if I am playing clean but want to be able to get the full range of fuzz from my Fuzz Faces.
U weren’t kidding about the 9 ,definitely a lil harsh on the high end. The 808 to me, is more smooth / even across the frequencies
To me both pedals sound great, for these days sound I would prefer TS9 because I love a brighter sound.
Thanks to Marty for sharing !
Depending on your amp, you can get that bright sound too with the other pedal
I came here for the pedals, stayed for the jams. Nice Grooves Marty!
From my experience, a TS808 into a Vox AC30 is one of the greatest sounds you will ever hear and is what sold me to the TS808 in the first place! IMO the TS808 is best for handwired Amps (British especially).
They both sound great!! I only have the mini, it also sounds great. For me the TS9 sounds sharper and brighter, 808 is thicker, creamier.
I think you nailed it
They sound the same. As all the tube screamers.
Interestingly, the 808 having that creamy quality. Depending on your amp it can have a sound that sounds similar to the TS9 with the sharper attack
The TS9DX was the one for me, that extra stage just really does it for me
Probably one of the best clean sounds I’ve ever heard!
I have a TS9 and that is the sound I have😁
Use it on guitar, bass and 1979 Korg CX3. Adding a T808 is on the list but sitting about # 8 in priority.
You play my kind of vibe, lots of neck pup bell tones above the 12th fret, love it.
After a good year of watching Marty play, I just have to say you are an awesome guitar player😊 keep up the good work.
Cool comparison! The 808 sounds more pleasing to my ears. Thanks for sharing!
These pedals have different purposes to me. The TS808 is better on its own than the TS9, but the TS9 is a god as an overdrive add for tone tweaking any distortion you're running or for already warmer amp tones. Very different uses.
Thanks Marty well done video as usual. I could definitely hear the differences I myself prefer the 808 ironically I came across your video because I recently bought an 808 and I never owned one until today and I really like it as far as the ts9 I don't have that but by your comparison I can say I I think I chose the right pedal with the 808 for my preferences. Cheers
The jam at the end with those settings has me liking the ts9 better. The grit and the cutting through sold me, even though I was rooting for the 808 the whole time.
They both sound good, it comes down to personal preference!
But with Marty rocking the pedals, it makes you want to get both... 🎸✌🏿💯👍🏿
yeah the ts9 s high end on my headphones made me turn down the volume, but i could still listen to it full blast on the 8. cool demos!
Fantastic comparo! It's a hard call to make between the two. I dig the rich, smooth, "creaminess" of the 808, until the TS9 comes in. Then I really enjoy the clarity. I think you're right on Marty, in that the 808 makes a great pedal for straight up lead, whereas I prefer the punch and clarity of the TS9 for everything else. I might be a little biased because I just got a TS9, but I think someone nailed it in a comment below: the TS9 has more punch for live performances, whereas the 808 would work better in the studio. Either way, great vid, keep 'em coming!
clarity can be achieved on the 808 via simple amp/guitar adjustments. I suppose it just depends on how one is used to playing in their default setup.
Great stuff Marty!!! Man that’s one awesome strat!!!
The TS9 has my vote! Think I'll buy one.
Thanks Marty great video. I have the ts9dx which is greatz also have the Keeley super phat, lots of fun mixing the two
I run a Strat with Texas Specials through a TS808 into a Fender Twin Reverb. "Marty had a little Strat......it's paint was black as coal yeah"
Alexander Winston SRV tone in a nutshell
The bite of the 9 makes it the winner to my ears.
I think the 9 is brighter but the 808 sounds warmer. I use a modified TS9. Not sure exactly what was put in it or modified but it has the tone range of both and the saturation can go a lot heavier. I'd be lost without it.
So glad you made this video. There are 2 of these available for sale at a shop near me that I’m not sure which one to get.
Whenever I hear you play Marty, I get happy inside.
I've owned a few pedal's from that era. I could get pretty much any tone I was wanting depending on the circumstance, recording, playing live with a band or alone. I don't hear that much difference between the two that would be a deal breaker for me. I would like to try the same A/B test and fiddle with that tone knob. I had and original Marshall Guv'nor back then that was pretty cool. They are high dollar now too.
Tick Bryan
I still have my Marshall gov’ner (sorry for misspelling) after all these 25 years...
I hated the way the graphics on it looked... so I covered it in electrical tape except the Marshall logo.🤣🤣🤣
But I loved the sound... so I kept it.
I haven’t thought about that pedal in years.
I’ll have to go find it and play it once more.👍💪
I have the 808 with a fender mustang plugged into a blues jr (the tweed edition or whatever it's called). It sounds like the guitar tone came from heaven.
Thank you Marty!
Something in you only shows what a pedal is all abbout.
Kosher and Happy Pesach ❤
I agree with most of the posters here. The TS9 is brighter, crisper sharper, however you describe it. Plus-it cuts thru Marty's guitar loop more clearly than TS808. And that alone would be even more important in the context of a full Blues/Rock band. (2 guitars, bass, drums)
I can definitely hear what you're saying about them. The sound of the TS-9 had a sharper edge to it, which may be good or bad depending on what you want. I think for the Strat the 808 sounds better. Would have liked to have heard them with your Les Paul too. Thanks for another good video, Marty!
By the time CZcams compresses it and listening on my phone it’s hard to hear much past a little more brightness on the ts9. They both definitely sound like Tube Screamer even on my phone speakers though 😂
Marty, I’d love to buy you a drink if I ever run into you. Been watching you for years and your a stand up guy. Right on.
I'm with you, Marty; I'll take the TS808 over the TS-9 any day (with a Strat). The 808 has just enough of that "warmer" tone to make the difference for me.
Have both since they came out,play hard rock and metal so it's always been the ts9
I love all the Tube Screamer models, but my favorite is the TS808. I recently purchased the TS808 reissue and got compliments on my tone from band members after punching it in for the first song. To my ears, it's sound is slightly more appealing than the other models. It has instantly become a valuable tool on my pedalboard.
Interesting, I like the sound of the 808 more lower strings and love the brightness of the higher strings on the TS9
ts808 + fender amp + strat anyday of the week for me.
Saaame
Almost the same, but I'm digging my Supro.
ts808 + princeton reverb reissue 65 + american strat; what do you think of that setup?
Jeremie Berdugo fender american special + ts 808 + another ts 808, fender super reverb = god= best tone ever= stevie ray vaughan
how about klon->ts808
My favorite combo is my Les Paul Traditional with Pearly Gates pickups through the TS808 into my Blackstar club 50 ... Sweet sounds... It makes me want to grow my beard long and play ZZ Top tunes..
Thank you Jimi,wherever you are.
Nice playing Marty!🎸💪
Great video. As presented, I think that they sound increasingly similar as the drive gets cranked up, not sure how tweaking the tone and level more would affect this. But with low drive and high tone, the 808 sounded a lot better, warmer to me.
I think that the TS808 really shines when used to push a distorted amp into a really saturated, compressed rock sound. I even use it with a fuzz face, I find that the warmer sound compared to the TS9 prevents it from getting too shrill.
I want to buy both!! Great video!
I have both the TS808 and TS9 on my board. I use the TS808 for warmer drive and the TS9 when I want a little harder drive. And the two together when I want to fly like a maniac over the clouds. I have a story about my TS9. I did a lot of research and pulled pictures of the boards for all versions of the TS9 (or so I thought). My plan was to replace a couple of components and drop in the really good op-amp and make it more like an 808. I found a TS9 on ebay for $70 and bought it. When it arrived I opened it up and was surprised to see that the board looked nothing like any of the pictures I had found and it had the really good op-amp. Maybe I missed something in my research. I will never know. Whatever the case, I closed the TS9 up and left it just like it was.
TS9 came in 1981, production years 9-series where first 1981 to 1985. These two pedals are almost the same internally but TS9 had different output, what caused the pedal sound brighter and less soft or smooth. Then there was a rare ST9 Super Tube Screamer which was only sold in Europe and Australia. I got TS9DX which have more options and manual says this; TURBO : Delivers a powerful, bottom thick sound popular with today’s alterna-tive / modern rock guitarists. - HOT : Crunchier tone with boosted mids that will have sounding like you’ve just plugged into a wall of 4×12’s. then; + Mode : Grittier that the original Tube Screamer and first but here final - TS9 : The classic TS9. No modifications, exactly like the original. Classic pedal series indeed!
Very nice comparsion video and nice playing.
Both sound great. Would be happy with either on my board.
I own a Telecaster, which is pretty bright sounding as it is. So I went with the 808
I think the TS9 REALLY shinned at the 2nd part of the demo!!!
I own the TS808. Best for my blues songwriting and -playing
I like the green one. :-) I think the TS9 cuts through better with solos whether live or in a mix. 808 does have the better mellow buttery sound, love it on a Hot Rod Dlx III with some amp drive. But, and this is the catch, they react differently to pickups and amps. So, it all depends on what you play and with backing or not and what setup you have. Personally love both, can't go wrong with the green. I'll bet if people listen to this video with 10" monitor speakers on a good system they get a whole different view than from $100 logitechs. Just sayin'.... Equipment, equipment, equipment. We can never have enough.
Nice vid dude thanks. For anyone reading remember that SRV used an 808 NOT a TS9 as so many seem to think.
TS808 is less compressed and more transparent but the TS9 can help better on tight blues riffs, which provide a better result in terms of punch. Both sound (very) good to me.
I'd go for the green one.
Putting this on watch later. I’ll be back Marty
Great Player , This gentleman Marty , and Great Video too
Thank you for the demo! To me, these are two sides of the same coin with only slight differences that can probably be made up with minimal changes to the settings.
settings = tone knob
I think a good summary of these pedals would be that the 9 has a bit better tone at low drive, whereas the 808 sounds better when the drive is turned up. I felt that the depth of the 808 shines a little more at high drive, but they’re so similar I feel that the difference is negligible. It’s like having 2 power drills made by the same brand, but 1 year apart, the differences are so minor that only someone highly trained to notices any difference
I´d prefer TS808 for basis and Ts9 FOR SOLO! Thanks for showing! Thanks! Obrigado
I have a very old 808 that I’ve gigged with for decades, and use the
TS 9 also. I play through a Twin, I mostly use them instead of a volume pedal for soloing. Way back there I used them with some flanger, I’m gonna say I prefer the 808 it’s never had any issues other than I hate the small switch. I’ve had two of the TS 9’s fail when they were relatively new. I also use the Ibanez Gem, it’s bad ass do a review on that one Marty
Nice demo - thanks!
The TS8 seems like it removes some high end and the TS9 seems like it adds a little. With the tone cranked, I feel the 9 has a little too much on the high end but at 12 oclock I prefer the TS9. So it comes down to settings for me.
Ts808 it's one of my favorite effects ever, if not my favorite. The Ts9 is beautiful but if I have to choose the TS808 without thinking much about it.
In the first and third comparison the TS9 was set louder and that's why it sounds a tiny more trebly (any recorded track will sound more trebly if you raise its volume). In the second comparison the tone knob of the TS9 was clearly set higher than the TS808, so again it sounded harsher. Actually if you change those two output buffer resistors and convert a TS9 into a TS808 you gain a (very) tiny more presence, so the opposite of what you say at the beginning.
TS9 has more bite.....made my decision getting one.
I play an American strat down to E flat and my Ernie Ball MusicMan Cutlass at standard through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 3..I think they are powerful enough without the extra TS9 vibe..I may go with the 808 to keep things ear friendly
I liked the TS808. They both scream through a tube very well though.
Your strat sounds like the pickups are decked super low. But doesn’t appear to be. I dig that twangy sound actually. What pups are on that sucker? It’s really got a nice sound. Wondering how much is attributed to the tweed style amp
I love this gears!
I like both, ts808 for the vintage smooth cracked sound and the extra spice included and because I like SRV, and ts9 for the brightness and attack with which you can cut the silence sharp
SRV used a ts9 for all the successful part of his career
He used the 808 for a couple years in the early 80s
Cool videos I am learning guitar and your videos help Alot keep up the good work
Here’s my take. Both sound excellent. TS9 is noticeably brighter, especially when you switch while playing. I think if you don’t have them side by side, difference can’t be heard. Great review 🤘🤓
I feel the same. If I A/B'd different types of overdrives I can hear the difference, but I often can't tell a tube screamer from a bluesbreaker blind.
both are good and same to me thanks Marty I like u music all the time ,, thanks again
Great comparison video, I'm sold on the TS808! Now, it's 2 days to Xmas is it to late for me to change my Xmas list.
Its just like choosing an amp or pickups. U want attack and clarity or sweeter tone. Actually you could choose based on what u have already. If youre tone is super sweet then maybe go with the ts9. If its bitey, the 808
Great video buddy!!!!!
Marty i think you could put rubber bands around a tissue box and make it sound good!
My vote is for the 808.
I have an 808 and love it. The TS-9 still sounds cool, but it's more focused and punchy. The 808 is more of a chameleon that enhances the amp across the guitar's whole range.
They both sound really good, just in different ways.
Both sound phenomenal
Man ts9 all the way
I like the TS9 best. it appears to have more range to me. I recently discovered that my Boss SD-1 was designed after the Ibanez Tube Screamer. Not sure which one. I like my SD-1 and use it the most.
Not really. Sd1 uses asymmetrical clipping. Not the same thing as a ts at all
I really like the brightness of the T09 especially for live shows and solos I would prefer the T09
Put that ts9 in front of you high gain amp, and thats it. Ts9+ Orange dark terror= Brutal tight hardcore tone😍
gay
@@berg9190No, i'm dating your mom.
I think you should try to match the sound, rather than the position of the knobs. To my ears, the TS9 needs to be dialed back ever so slightly to make it sound like the TS808. If the knobs on the TS808 max out at 10, the TS9 can probably go up to 11.
The clean sound is nice!!
I was surprised too ! What a special character, almost not pedal needed !
Its smoother than hot butter on toast
damn, i love your strat... prefer the sound of the 808
