    I couldn't tell any difference between them but again I'm just listening on my phone I have the ts9 and 808 they are very similar to each other but for 20bucks that's a clear winner

    Honestly Ibanez has got more presence to it , I mean it is a little more clear to my ears. Kokko sounds also great , and surprisingly impressed me !
    The reason that people love classic Ibanez tubescreamers are because some of the most influential rock and metal songs have been recorded by them . But if you are on a budget as you said , Kokko and similar products are definitely bang for the buck .

    This is one of the best overdrive shoot-outs I've ever seen. Kokko really knocks me out of the park by having the ability to match the tone quality of the legendary Tube Screamer. Thanks for the vid. I just subscribed! ⭐🤘🍺

      @@jaketanis3069 Yea some of the Chinese mini pedals are a crazy good deal. The Kokko Comp is supposedly just a DynaComp with a different chip inside according to folks who have taken them apart. The Kokko Overdrive aint much different then a TS9... Combine the 2 and u are on your way to getting good classic rock and blues type sounds. For 40 bucks...

    But I bought the Kokko, just because it was cheap and I was curious. I wanted to try it.
    Now, I don’t have the TS9 nor the SD1 anymore. I sold them both.

    Kokko sounds a hair darker, no? Seemingly something that can be changed with a tiny Tone adjustment. You may have just sold me on the Kokko, and i'm not even a TS9 kinda guy. Do they do a TS808?

    The kokko is definitely slightly darker and less open-sounding, but it's not at all bad. For $20 it's a great deal. I have a kokko btw, it's not my main OD but I use it in band practice & it sounds fine. Imo it's definitely better than the Joyo vintage od, another cheap TS clone that a lot of people seem to like.

  • @JoeyLevenson
    @JoeyLevenson 4 роки тому +2

    There’s a slight difference but it’s not huge. Anyway, od pedals are so plentiful, none sound “ideal,” just different. Either works, IMO.

    I had an Ibanez TS9 and a Boss SD1 on my pedalboard. I alternated these two overdrives according to the themes. But I got the Kokko to test and was impressed. The difference between the TS9 is minimal. So I couldn't stick with three overdrives and had to sacrifice the TS9. I sold it. Now I have the Boss SD1 and the Kokko on my pedalboard.

I just bought it 'cause it's so cheap and I needed to add to my checkout bin in order to get a break on shipping. If you get over where they were made get one. Buy 'em while they last.

    Obvious mids missing from the kokko. Not bad for the price and you can't hear the difference in some frequency ranges. It would be ok for lead but its not as good for rhythm as the original.

    • @evanwilliams8908
      @evanwilliams8908 4 роки тому

      Watched this video again 5 months later and I agree with my analysis. The tube screamer has more mids. The kokko is noticeably more treble heavy but whether that is good or bad comes down to personal preference.
      Both times I listened with headphones when judging the differences which is essential unless you have decent speakers.
