A clone model of the vintage early TS-9 black label, serial number 165160! "#9" has just the right amount of agedness and sparkling high-frequency components! It has the brightness characteristic of the TS9, but the harsh frequencies have been trimmed, and it harmonizes beautifully with the fat midrange that is typical of the TS. Please enjoy the vintage feel that you can't easily experience with current models! This model is a faithful reproduction of the original TS-9 with the JRC2043DD chip, serial number 165160, reproducing the sound quality and operation as accurately as possible, with the exception of slight variations (errors) in each individual potentiometer. While the 4558-equipped model is positioned as a TS808 with a slightly brighter sound, the 2043DD-equipped model reproduces its unique texture, including the desirable high-frequency exuberance, the fine detail of the harmonics, the dryness, and the airy midrange. Compared to #8, this one has a slightly more modern sound. This also features a mechanical true bypass design.
