Nice cheap TS clone

It's a nice cheap Tube Screamer clone. Sounds like any other Tube Screamer. There is TS808 to TS9 switch, which doesn't change sound at all. What's the point then? Maybe it IS the point? That all TS are the same? There's also an internal swich which can turn on Keeley mod setting for your TS808 or TS9 sound. So it's 4 in 1 pedal, which is actually 2 in 1.

It's 3 in 1, but with the mod turned on the external switch does nothing. Turning the internal switch off sends the signal back to the external switch.
