TS 9 vs TS 10Subject: Re: ts-10 VS ts-9 From: analogmik--(at)--ol.com (AnalogMike) Date: 7 Jan 1997 16:50:18 GMT Hi again, RG Keen is one of my my electronics gurus and knows a lot more than I do but he missed several other differences between the TS-9 and TS-10, some of which contribute greatly to the sound differences. 1. The input section before the first transistor is referenced to ground through a single 510K resistor on the TS-9 and 808, but on the 10 there is a network of 3 resistors, one to 9V and one to ground, and a CAP to ground. This should not affect the tone as much as the other changes, but I remove this stuff anyway. 2. This is the one that RG mentioned : After the first transistor there is a 220 ohm resistor R6 that should be shorted out. 3. On the drive pot the #2 and #3 leads are connected on the TS-10. On the 9 and 808 the 3 lead is open. This should not make much difference but I undo the 3rd lead anyway. 4. There is an extra transistor in the signal path when the effect is in the OFF position on the TS-10. RG's circuit on his web page does not use the FET switch so he probably did not consider that. But if you are modifying a TS-10 you should remove the transistor Q6, remove the 10K R40 and from that transistor, and run a jumper from the input of the R39 1K resistor feeding that transistor to the input of C15, bypassing this whole mess. It's not an easy job on that circuit, requires a few jumpers. 5. The output from the LEVEL control goes through an extra capacitor that should be removed and jumpered - C11. 6. After C11 is an extra resistor to 4.5 volts that should be clipped out - R17. 7. Then to make it into an 808 you change the output section resistors as RG said. RG, please feel free to add the above to your web page!
