Hi,
could you guys help me out here?...I've settled upon a Keeley modded DS-1 (when I get the cash), but I was wondering whether to get the modded TS9 with it too, that is suggested to go from rythem to lead.

What I would want out of the TS9 would be to produce a warmer, thicker/filled out, smoother sound for my leads. So is this what a TS9 would actually do? Is it any more than just a volume n output boost?
you can set the output on the TS9 so your leads jump out abit.
you can also set the TS9 to have a mild bit of dirt and have the output set higher for steeping out in front with your leads.
use the TS9 to shape your dirty tone. it has a nice compression to it naturally so your notes will have a bit of character when it is engaged.
modded these pedals change. mine has an analogman mod. he made the dirt losser and falbby for one setting. then added more bottom bosst(with the flabby dirt) on another setting. one setting remains original TS9. I have one more setting but I cant tell much of what it is doing differently.
so players use an equalizer as a treble boost for leads.
sounds like you want some dirt and character with yours.
your TS9 idea can help.

hmm. Well I prefere a bit of smooth, warm mid range boost for my leads, rather than trebley grit. Perhaps the TS9 isnt for me then?
I agree. for a warm mid range boost maybe an equalizer would work.
I have a Beagle Boost pedal someone gave me. it acts like a boost. it has two knobs. they both work togther. one being sorta a volume and the other sorta a tone shaper.
together they interact.
it's made by a poster from Harmny Central I think. I might be able to find the guy who sent it to me with the info.
I dont need or want this pedal. Id consider a trade or something?
PM me.
Perhaps you might consider (as dogbite has suggested) using an Equalizer. like putting one before and after distortion units. Equalizers alone will have an amazing effect on your tone. Speaking for myself I seem to not have enough of them. I bracket everything with equalizers. This also allows me to pull signal off at different points in my signal chain. Have you thought any on adding a compressor on the leads also.
