Question 1

Would i sound like metallica with this

Accepted Answer

Use a Boss metal core or a Line 6 uber metal both of those are cheap and will get you to sound like Metallica! this TS9 will sound like SVR or boost your already dirty signal

Question 2

What chip is used in these new re-issues?

Accepted Answer

Ibanez has gone back and forth on this. The original Maxon run had the chip that's in the TS9, for a short time they were advertised as having JRC4558 chips, but now they're listed as having the TS9 chips again... presumably to sell more higher-priced TS808 Reissues.

Question 3

I have an orange 35rt and wondered how this pedal would shape the tone? is the tube screamer mainly for tube amps?

Accepted Answer

I have a similar Orange amp that I use for portability (when traveling) as a practice amp. The TS9, like every effects pedal, will alter your input signal based on its electronics. What your amp does after that is based on its design. A solid state amp and a tube amp heavily-driven are completely different beasts. Most of us that play sit in the middle. I usually use a Fender Deluxe VM with 40w,  on "3" because anything more attracts a lot of attention. It is still much richer than any solid state amp. If I could turn it to "6" or better, I could hear sounds that God intended us to hear.If you have a solid state amp now, feel free to explore the world of effects or even buy a multi-effects processor.  I have a Line 6 HD500X processor and it models everything - every pedal, effect, amp, etc, and you just put that out through a clean channel like some studio monitors. Then you can do everything. Your Orange has a Clean channel that would work well with that.

Question 4

How is it powered? i'm looking to buying this as my first pedal and i know nothing.

Accepted Answer

You can connect a 9V power adapter to it or use regular 9V batteries.
