Hi is there any way to get more bass in that type of circuit?

The ibanez turbo version has settings that boost mids and bass.

Up the value of the cap attached to pin 2 on the op amp. You can try a bunch of different values here. Check out these sites for a more detailed response and other TS mods (and where I learned what I am passing on to you).

 Just raise the value if the input cap to 1uf or so. That's it. I play bass thru a ts9, and that's all I had to do to it.
I am not responsible for your imagination.

This question has been done to death in the past. Check Jack's AMZ page linked above. That's where the boutiquer's get their info! :icon_mrgreen:

Are you modding or building? If building, there are a bunch of OD designs available out there that are similar to the TS family in terms of degree of complexity and gain structure, but don't gut bass (as much, anyway). Rather than try to "fix" the TS, you might want to try one of them.
