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.

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.
