As previously stated, this plugin is a clone of Ibanez’s iconic TS-9 Tube Overdrive pedal. If you’re anything like me, you would want to have this plugin in your toolbox because it’s free and I enjoy guitar pedal effects. I love patching multiple pedals together to create unique sounding effects, and the TS-9 is one of my all-time favorite guitar pedals.
According to what I heard, the TS-M1N3 sounds quite close to the real effect. If you want to check if a plugin emulation sounds near to actual hardware, I believe you should abuse the setting and see how it handles the signal. And when you enhance the effect with the TS-M1N3, you’ll notice some harshness around 1 to 5KHz, which you don’t notice much from the original pedal. However, with that in mind, this plugin sounds very similar, and I am considering using it in my actual projects.
Finally, this may become your go-to virtual overdrive effect. This plugin is perfect for guitarists. However, you can use it other elements too, for instance, I like using such effects on synths, vocals, sound design, etc.
