When is a Tube Screamer not a Tube screamer ???
every pedal company on the planet makes one. In fact one
famous pedal designer said that if a new company makes one that passes the 'smell test' the buyers will feel confident to risk buying other pedals from that maker.
The original Moller 2 was designed for Danish guitarist Knud Moller.
That was well over a decade ago because v.2 is already 11 years old.
You would be forgiven for not recognizing a ts sound from this pedal. LOL Even guys like me that hate the ts have a few. Why do I hate them? Well they use am OpAmp to create their sound that creates symmetrical distortion. A real tube amp uses asymmetrical distortion. To me this creates an artificial sound going into my Plexi.
BUT....
The ones I do use are really borderline Fuzz boxes. This
can be done with clipping diodes added to the mix. A Fuzz is a square wave distortion which is meant to sound artificial. Unlike a ts which makes my tone 'cloudy' ...a Fuzz it takes over the entire sound. Or perhaps look at it this way. If a tube amp is a white sound ...then a Fuzz is a black sound. A ts is a white sound with ugly stains on it. LOL
CONCLUSION
Anything that has been around since Noah marched two of them off the Arc deserves a listen.
