Getting that classic Peavey 5150 low-mid growl and smoothness

I was looking to see if there was a difference between the 808 and the TS9.

Here's some info that might be relevant in the hunt for his tone: Ibanez Tube Screamer History

I'm up to date regarding my TS history lessons.

Have you tried a different boost pedal? For the type of sound you're looking for, I think most people will tell you to use a TS808 but you might have better luck with a different one. I've had really good luck with the super OD particularly with the das metal model, so I can't guarantee it will translate well with a 5150, but you never know. Notice the super OD at default has the low cut set really low, so an alternative you could try is to use a TS but just dial down the low cut. Good luck!
Tried it and will continue to try it.
 
Ok. I did not have the impression that you were aware of the different freq. response of the ts808 and the ts9.
