It's ugly but so beautiful!

Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
The build quality is very good with two minor flaws.
You really have to step on the pedal to make the switch engage.
It works very well, you just have to be deliberate when turning it on and off.
The other drawback, the LED is under powered, you have to look straight
down into the "bulb" to see that it is lit. Not a huge issue as you normally
can hear that it's on or off.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I've had mine for four or five years, no issues at all.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
Ibanez has a knack for making ugly pedals. The TS9 is not much to look at, but
it sounds so good! It gives you a wide range of over drive, from blues to heavy,
it's got a sweet quality that set's it head a shoulders above other OD pedals.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
NA
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
See above. It is a must have pedal.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Except for being ugly, it's great.
You can always tell where it is in your chain.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Not a guitar, but the switch can take a little getting used to.

this is a must have for any tube amp!Rather than bother with pedals that step on your good sounding amp this just adds to the tone in a way that allows you to get that studio polished sound that you hear on albums
