Thought I would share, some of you may be interested. $30 shipped for this kit is pretty decent IMO given the options it includes for you.

Rad, thx man! Do you know if it includes the PC board?

I could spend less than 1€ buying the same components in a shop. I did a TS9 mod for my TS7 and I spent 2cent

There's no way you'd get a quality 3PDT switch for 1€. But yeah, the price is still quite steep.

On a side note, you could order a TS kit from Musikding, including all the parts for like 15€ more. You can build it as a TS-9 or 808 and it includes the same RC4558 chip and the "SD-1" switch option. Really easy build, too.

@XeS: Well, a TS7>TS9 mod is certainly not comparable to this kit. Two chips, a chip socket to easily change between them, 3PDT switch, true bypass and 5 other mods plus another switch for one of them and a LED (granted the LED isn't necessary) plus detailed instructions. I know these components together would not cost as much as the kit is. However, the extra dough you are spending is the convenience of not having to figure out and source all of the components yourself.

@OneDaySky: No this is just the components you add to the existing PC board in a TS9.

Yeah of course the 1€ was not realistic, anyway you don't have to search very much if you have a great electronic components shop in your area. A socket is pretty common, as the chips or the resistances. A true bypass could be usefull but it depends on how do you use a TS. I use it always on so...

 

[006]

Yes, and this kit has some components specifically to offer a cleaner signal even when it's on. Nitpicking now but yeah... I don't see what's wrong with the kit.

Looking better, it's pretty cheap considering that some years ago someone sold a simple "2resistors" kit for 30-40€ on ebay.
