Yes the 808 is smoother and more compressed than the TS-9. The TS-10 sits somewhere in between the two. It's very subtle though especially used as a boost.
But generally speaking, from smoother to brighter: 808, TS-10,TS-9, TS-7.
TS9 vs 808
Re: TS9 vs 808
There is very little difference except for the op amp which varied over the years.
If you are comparing 2 or more pedals, the difference is more likely parts tolerance.

I wonder how it works as a boost for other pedals?
problem is, he makes pretty much everything sound amazing lol. i think jimmy page and a bunch of others used that echoplex back in the day?
Right!?!? Brett Kingman and Pete Thorn are responsible for half my pedal purchases!!!
I even bought a Devi Ever Anemia fuzz after seeing a Kingman vid!!
