Would i sound like metallica with this

Use a Boss metal core or a Line 6 uber metal both of those are cheap and will get you to sound like Metallica! this TS9 will sound like SVR or boost your already dirty signal

What chip is used in these new re-issues?

Ibanez has gone back and forth on this. The original Maxon run had the chip that's in the TS9, for a short time they were advertised as having JRC4558 chips, but now they're listed as having the TS9 chips again... presumably to sell more higher-priced TS808 Reissues.

I have an orange 35rt and wondered how this pedal would shape the tone? is the tube screamer mainly for tube amps?

I have a similar Orange amp that I use for portability (when traveling) as a practice amp. The TS9, like every effects pedal, will alter your input signal based on its electronics. What your amp does after that is based on its design. A solid state amp and a tube amp heavily-driven are completely different beasts. Most of us that play sit in the middle. I usually use a Fender Deluxe VM with 40w, on "3" because anything more attracts a lot of attention. It is still much richer than any solid state amp. If I could turn it to "6" or better, I could hear sounds that God intended us to hear.If you have a solid state amp now, feel free to explore the world of effects or even buy a multi-effects processor. I have a Line 6 HD500X processor and it models everything - every pedal, effect, amp, etc, and you just put that out through a clean channel like some studio monitors. Then you can do everything. Your Orange has a Clean channel that would work well with that.

How is it powered? i'm looking to buying this as my first pedal and i know nothing.

You can connect a 9V power adapter to it or use regular 9V batteries.

Great guitar effects unit

Great guitar effects unit ,when playing guitar with this you can gat an early Oasis sounding sound ,particularly good on lead riffs.Whilst the unit is good ,it arrived in a Amazon envelope ,this really should have been a box ,and the envelope looked like it had been thrown around and was also soaked through ,which was a little disappointing ,you can also buy these units direct from Guitar Guitar,for a similar price and certainly better packaging.Luckily the unit was undamaged ,and as this is a product review it does get 5 stars

Great little stomp box

Great little stomp box, this. Seems pretty robust so far, and adds some beautiful tone on top of my overdriven amp.
