That Unmistakable Tube Screamer Tone

Two Pedals in One

Along with the overdrive circuit, you also have an independent +26 dB boost circuit that you can use alone or in conjunction with the distortion effect. Boosting your clean signal can have its own benefits if you need to cut through the mix, but using the boost switch along with your overdrive settings affords great opportunities for solos or leads when read more playing with a full band.

Fashioning Your Overdriven Sound

Your level control acts as a master volume control. The tone control brightens or darkens your sound, and the overdrive dial brings in the breakup at a surprisingly dynamic rate. The boost control determines how much of a jump your signal gets when you engage the boost switch. You also have a post/pre boost switch to determine if the boost occurs before or after the overdrive circuit. Play around with this switch to hear how your signal's breakup changes with each dial's settings.

A Robust Companion Stomp After Stomp

This overdrive/booster pedal is a great companion for the studio or the stage and is always eager and ready to fuel your signal with the power it demands. A strong and durable outer casing won't buckle easily under the pressure of continual use, even for the frequently gigging musician.

This is simplicity at its finest. I was tired of trying to fine tune 2 pedals on my board. Replaces a A.M silver mod TS 808 and Fulltone Fat Boost. Wanted a "One and Done" pedal and this is it. Step on the boost for a solo lift! Great OD tone unless you are looking for something more extreme or distorted. Makes my amp grunt when over driven, and sing when boosted. Builders claim to make a "better" tube screamer. Do yourself a favor and try it - if you are in the market for a TS, buy from the inventors of it. Ibanez has the $ and engineering to make the best pedal available. Its quiet, has great classic tone and will clean up a messy pedal board.
