SUMO STOMP painstakingly recreated a specific early TS-9 built around the JRC2043DD chip, and the result has its own personality: dry, articulate, airy through the mids, with fine harmonic detail and a lively high-frequency edge. It still gives you the familiar mid-forward push, but feels more open and slightly more modern than the softer, rounder TS sound many players expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessor’s Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDon’t think of it only as a boost:\u003c\/strong\u003e the #9 has enough texture and harmonic character to work as the primary overdrive into a clean or lightly breaking-up amp.
