TUBE SCREAMER
The biggest selling OD every year going since introduced in 1979. At the moment the number one selling version that is bought by most Pro's is the current version of the $110.00 USD Ibanez TS-9. Yes only a very few use some gourmet or vintage ts.
WHY?It's most popular use is for something that it indeed does really well. It acts as both a boost pedal and an EQ in one. When put on an amp or another pedal that is being used to create your initial distortion it tightens up the lows creating definition and it boost the upper mids at about 1k which is the natural point with a guitar for it to sing and sustain to the point it transitions up an octave higher and with just a bit of feedback from your amp does indeed scream.
SHOOT OUT
The video is not a shootout but a calm look at both an original ts compared to the best of the most recent popular alternative gourmet
variations.
I confess to be a reluctant user of a ts but I was blown away by how
well the Wampler handled the lows, the smearing and loss of detail
and probably the most impressive is how easy it is to get it to do
it's sustain with lift off thing.
