If there is one overdrive pedal that can be classified as "legendary" and "special", even must be classified, then it is clearly the Ibanez Tube Screamer. In the used market, devices of the first series achieve top prices and this is not by chance. When the TS808 came on the market at the end of the 1970s, artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughn or Gary Moore discovered that this green clumsy box the amp properly heated up. Not so much with its rather restrained, silky distortion ability, but with the potential to respond extraordinarily dynamically and add some serious poundage to a single-channel tube amp.
The Ibanez TS9 is the successor to the legendary TS808 with the correct circuitry and ingredients. For years, the pedal is the most important part of countless pedalboards.
The Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer:
Legendary overdrive pedal
Tube-like dynamic response
Rugged construction
Controls for drive, tone and level
Weight: approx. 570g
Operation via 9V DC power supply (optionally available)
Probably the most famous and bought overdrive pedal! Its been around for a lot of time and will stay! Its simple 3-Knobs allow you to get a variety of different creamy tones. From volume boost to blues rock overdrive. The creamy and warm tone it gets are perfect for a lot of musical genres. The only con I could say is the kind of weak foot switch but other than that its great!
