This is what Duncan had to say to Mark regarding Amps...
 -> TS-9.  Probably tonight.  The Ibanez hierarchy seems to go like this:
 -> TS-808 - $300 to $350
 -> TS-9 (old) $175 to $200
 -> TS-9 (RI) about $100 out of the store, less used.
 -> TS-5 about 50 bucks.  What's different about this bottom-feeder 5
 -> unit?

I never really cared for their pedals either. I used to live and die by my
BOSS heavy metal. I died more often than I lived, though.  Now I just use
it on bass every once in a while for heavy distortion to play Zappa's
"Apostrophe'". Not useful for much else...
