Ibanez Tube Screamer

thumb|right|Ibanez Tube Screamer TS808 The Ibanez Tube Screamer is an overdrive pedal made by Ibanez. First developed by Maxon as a competitor to the Boss OD-1, it was sold outside of Japan under the Ibanez brand and became popular among guitarists for its characteristic mid-boosted tone and amp-like distortion. The Tube Screamer has gone through multiple iterations since its debut in 1979, notably the original TS808 model and its successor, the TS9. Many guitarists have used it to create their signature sound, and it is considered one of the most successful, widely copied, and modified overdrive pedals in the history of the electric guitar. Quotes about the Ibanez Tube Screamer Made famous by Eric Johnson, this definitive overdrive is a close cousin of the popular TS-9. The TS-808 delivers warm, grainy distortion, plenty of output, and has a strong upper-midrange bump that colors your guitar sound considerably. Art Thompson and Rod Brakes of Guitar Player (June 29, 2011) Ever since the early 1980s, Ibanez Tube Screamer in all its variants has been a standard for guitar players of various genres. From the fat blues driven tasty tones of Stevie Ray Vaughan to the incredibly heavy sounds of modern metal guitarists who use it as the boost for their lead channels, this pedal has seen it all.
