I prefer the Mini. I like the clarity & note definition. The least muddy or fizzy. Great comparison.

[@Aaronius_Maximus]

Completely agree! I bought one to use temporarily until my local store ordered me the TS9 I was normally comfortable using and I've never gone back since! The mini has a definition the others do not! Especially on smaller tube amps they sound amazing to me.

[@yyjj4230]

8:24 vs 9:05

[@jam321x]

I like ts mini

[@Gibson1976uk]

Best one is the version you can get cheapest :)

[@zavyguitarist3028]

I have headache to choosing the mini or the ts 808, love the sound of 808 so clear and natural but the mini looks great and will save a lot of space and the price point too, can anyone help me decide damn

[@richardgregory3644]

I'd go with the smaller cheaper one

[@franva186]

I had the same doubt but I definitely will buy the mini version. Is a lot cheaper than the other 2

[@sid35gb]

Just get the green one😎

[@4NXCHANGE]

You always know how demos should be.. Great job buddy.

[@MusicBlissMalaysiaTV]

Thanks man! Glad it helps!

[@jfar3340]

Barely any difference when you a/b/c them; even less when they're played on their own. Not sure why someone would pay more to get the 808

[@TheSwanepoelmj]

Ive used a bunch of ts's... And quite honestly, they all sound and do the same. Not a bad thing, as they are briliant dor their purpose. I just dont see the purpose of paying extra money for a 808 when the ts9 sounds just as good. My latest one is the ts9dx, and it serves my needs more than adequate

[@lonesomeguitarplayer]

I decided to listen with my eyes closed and then judging, even though I had crappy in-ears, for me the choice is between the TS9 and the mini. Every time I didn't really like the sound and looked at the screen that I had paused, it turned out to be the 808. So I'll keep it simple and go for a mini. Thanks for your fine extensive testing and Bliss to you Malaysia man

[@Dogsrule777]

I gotta say the Mini clearly brings it the best. (in my humble opinion:) Great vid!

[@ManuelPassarella1]

I have the mini on my pedalboard and it is killer

[@smcha4]

This is how your do it!!! Thanks for the effort. I'm getting the mini as a boost.

[@katieking7671]

Why they need another plug in sucks

[@mojoredfoot]

Nice job. Aside from confirming the TS808 is my favorite of these 3, great comparison😬

[@hnatyshyn]

That's a great demo man. I like the wide variety of styles. I think the TS mini plays a little faster.

[@SaxJockey]

Good point. See you are a wind player, where speed and low frequencies are the enemy. Similar with strings, low and slow. Just ordered the TS Mini because of the price and space envelope...but the 808 sounds more luscious in this demo. It's frustrating that a different phrase is played into each pedal. A looper into each pedal would provide a more objective demo.

[@rockpinch5177]

More clear mids on ts mini right?

[@Doomlord777]

As far as i remember theini was based on the ts9, so they are really close. The 808 is a different beast, warmer with less gain..more of a bluesey feel. Ts808 wins for me!

[@waltgaffert2554]

Great playing bro! I'm leaning toward the mini.. good thing, I just bought one it got here today. I have a early 80's TS9 (I'm fairly certain) on an Ibanez UE300 multi effect with chorus and compression. I love them both

[@c1arkj]

anyone feel the mini has less sustain?

[@treishtrei]

808 by a hair. It has the magic sauce

[@denssession644]

Liked how you highlighted the differences in gain and EQ. 😎✌🏽 Helpful for gear decisions.

[@alejandroangeles8587]

The Mini wins

[@jakestadium]

The magic thing about the 808 is how it retains the low end "thunk" on the pick attack of the single note lines. The ts9 and mini don't have this. It's more of a feel thing but it's really important. imo at least.

[@Jordan-rb28]

It's because of the gain potentiometer, you simply need to put the TS9 gain knob down a bit more for it to be next to identical.

[@jakestadium]

@@Jordan-rb28 Not true. If you've ever played an 808 and ts9 side by side there are very clear differences that can't be changed with a gain pot tweak. The 808 has a different EQ curve, it is smoother/less pronounced in the upper mids and highs. It sounds bigger and less compressed than the ts9 and also doesn't cut as much low end. As a stand alone overdrive the 808 is superior. Boosting a dirty signal, the ts9 wins. Different tools for different jobs.

[@xjohn1970]

thanks man . I always appreciate your shootouts

[@brandonharris9160]

This video is so much better than the other lame comparison videos out there

[@redrumck81]

I like the ts9 and the mini. Which one should i get 😅

[@noirelectrique8782]

Perfect demo ! Team SG ^^

[@jenkinses8121]

I thought the green one sounded best!

[@nunoharris]

Hi . What is the better pedal for AC/DC songs , the TS808 or the TS9 ? Thanks.

[@gatesgardensguitars8871]

Watch the Rig Rundown for AC/DC.

[@sbspulse9582]

Marshall jtm amp, boss sd1 , Gibson sg ...

[@c1arkj]

Try the Boss BD-1 Blues Driver.

[@sateras1]

Very good job man, very very clear and professional.

[@insanspiritual3154]

john petrucci malaysia 😝😝

[@LIVES.K]

Miniも808も全部同じですね。

[@c1arkj]

Great comparison video.

[@vincent375]

Not much of a perceivable difference, more so on a full mix. Missing mg TS9 though. Exchanged it for a mini for the space.

[@facundolopez4987]

Is the mini version any different from the TS9 as regards sound or it's just the size? Couldn't tell a major difference from the video

[@vincent375]

@@facundolopez4987 Yes, in my opinion the TS9 sounds better across all frequencies and at higher drive levels, I just noticed that my mini sounds like it has a higher mid hump than my TS9.

[@BetoAzamar]

Ts808 sound warmer

[@kevinsmith3412]

Brilliant comparison video, sir.

[@OrkhanJulfa]

For my ears TS808 - smoothest one. Warmer, but a little muddier. TS9 - the most aggressive TSmini - clearest one with more definition.

[@TheNocturnalEvil]

When you miniaturize a circuit then the overall efficiency of the circuit and signal to noise ratio increases. Hence you have minimal tone loss. That may be the reason why the TS Mini sounds the clearest and most articulate out of the three. In terms of circuit design it's same as the TS9 though.

[@OrkhanJulfa]

@@TheNocturnalEvil Yes you are right.

[@jlostboy]

@@TheNocturnalEvil I was wondering about that and then found this comment. Thanks for the great info about it, I always thought that to minimize a circuit was bad LOL, based on nothing more than just a bias.

[@TheNocturnalEvil]

@@jlostboy Miniaturizing a circuit is bad from the point of view of repairability. However, due to their shorter signal path they are more efficient and have higher signal to noise ratio.

[@jlostboy]

@@TheNocturnalEvil Thanks a lot! I was deciding to buy the TS9 or the mini-TS9 being the mini version 40% cheaper in my country (Argentina). I can afford the regular but if the mini version it's the same and more efficient as you said, then I'll buy the mini.

[@JoelCaseyJonesMusic]

When I need a pedal demo there’s 3 places I always look... Pete Thorn, Shnobel and Music Bliss!!! Playing was exceptional brother! Methodical overview as always! Cheers 🤙🏽

808

[@AhmadFarohan]

Awesome! thanks for sharing :)

[@RubenHernandez-gc6si]

I need help with suggestions, I play in a heavy metal band in the thrash style. Which one of these would be good for me? Since I need a heavy tone and a good tone for soloing. Thanks! Also the gear I have is a Jackson dinky with Seymour Duncan's and my amp is a mesa boogie nomad 100 head

[@jazzblasterrr]

Ruben Hernandez ts9 has more gain but your amp is doing most of the work in that area.

[@TheNocturnalEvil]

Get the MXR GT-OD instead, it works better for boosting amps than Tube Screamer.

[@konnektlive]

TS-9 sounded the best to me. However, I have A/Bed the Ibanez TS9 and the Maxon OD-9 and found the Maxon OD-9 even better sounding.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Maxon is the OG! They made 'em for Ibanez.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Yeah I like the 9 as well. Depends on your guitar and especially your amp. My Fenders love the 808, VOX loves the TS9. Laney loves them all!

[@jimmyelectric]

How was the Maxon better?

[@midfieldcrisis]

808 is more defined and slightly more warm than other 2. All sound very good!

[@7MACHINE100]

Ts-9 for Gibson,Ts-808 for Fender)

[@1977raider]

Great demo well done

[@silviolutti1522]

For me the 808 it's more warm,natural. The best.

[@mattgilbert7347]

808 has slightly more output. Mini and 808 are virtually identical. The 9 can work better with some amps. It all depends what you're using it for. SG>TS9> BD-2> Laney VC30 112 is a great tone for me

[@BenangKain]

Ts mini made in ?

[@rakusin]

Japan

[@avispasentuass]

Very nice review I perceive differences between them: Ts808:warmer,smoother than others Ts9:agresive,raw,brighter Ts808mini:warm,punchier I'll prefer 808 mini for more punch in boosting a high gain tube amp
