The kit and instructions were great til the last 3 steps. I’d give it 3.5 maybe 4 stars as a kit, 5 stars as a pedal.
Looks great so far, I own both an Ibanez TS-808 and a TS-9. both of them re-issues, they seem to sound their best when being used to push an already overdriving amp into harder overdrive, although they do sound good by themselves, I just recently gave both of my Tube Screamers a bit of a service, the TS-808 just needed it's pots sprayed with some electrical clean and lube, the TS-9 needed three replacement caps and a replacement DC in socket, both are working great now.
