The
Ibanez Tube Screamer is an overdrive/distortion pedal that is mild compared to many, but allows the true sound of the guitar and it's player's technique to come through. The most popular use of a tube screamer is to push a tube amp to make it overdrive more,. The pedal's sound is different from most distortion pedals as the waveform is clipped and the tone is shaped in a subtle manner creating a mid-boosted tone popular with blues players.
Description
The pedal has an overdrive knob, a tone knob, and a level knob. The drive knob controls the level of distortion, the tone knob adjusts the amount of treble in the sound, and the level knob controls the output volume of the pedal. The pedal can be used on a solid-state amp to try to mimic the sound of a vintage tube amp, although many guitarists prefer to use it to push a tube amp's pre-amp into an overdriven state. The classic Tube Screamer sound includes a "mid-hump," which means that the circuit accentuates frequencies between the bass and treble ranges (mid-frequencies). Many guitarists prefer this sort of equalization, as it helps to keep their sound from getting lost in the overall mix of the band.
The pedal was produced with many variants. The early incarnations of the
TS-808 and
TS-9 are the most sought after by collectors, due in part to the fact that
Stevie Ray Vaughan and many other famous players are known to have used them as part of their signature sound. Other variants, including the
TS-10,
TS7, and
TS-5 are less collectible and vary in the their reproduction of the original circuit. The TS-9 and TS-808 pedals have been reissued, and according to the company, feature the same circuitry, electronics and design components that helped to shape the famous Tube Screamer sound. Some musicians have a technician perform modifications to the unit to change the sound to their liking. Also,
Maxon, who produced the original Tube Screamer pedals for the Ibanez brand in the seventies and eighties, produce their own version of the Tube Screamer. In addition, many of the most highly-regarded overdrive pedals, both mass-manufactured and boutique, owe their heritage to the Tube Screamer circuit.
When used with a tube amplifier the Tube Screamer increases the gain of the input signal overloading the preamp and further distorting the signal. When used with a cranked master-volume type tube amplifier, this can result in much higher volumes than before the pedal is engaged if the preamp is not already turned up fairly high. Provided the preamp gain is already turned up, the Tube Screamer will saturate the signal, creating a thickly overdriven tone.
