TS808 into a cranked 2204

Full-chain capture: an original TS808 in front of a 50W 2204, both doing their share of the distortion.

How it was made

This is a full-chain capture, pedal and amp together, which is a deliberate choice and a contested one — capture the whole chain and it sounds like the rig, but you lose the ability to swap the drive. TS808, drive at 9 o'clock, level at 2 o'clock, tone at noon. Into a 2204 with the preamp at 7. The TS808 differs from the TS9 in the output section rather than the op-amp, which is why this is smoother than the same setting with a TS9 would be.
