All user reviews for the Behringer Vintage Tube Overdrive TO800

replica of the reference to 95% of the Tube Screamer Ibanez, overdrive crying fun lol

Connections in / out 9v AC adapter

UTILIZATION

general configuration very simple again!

no manual useful ...

SOUND QUALITY

EFFECTIVE indeed! 9/10

What I am looking no doubt!

I use it in Boost for solos ET sharp rhythms for songs more "metal" along with the TO100.
This gives a power and clarity sound for solos, drooling and wishes for rhythm "metal" a stage further overdrive (coupled to TO100) approximating a heavy distortion!

Nickel 10/10

OVERALL OPINION

acquired in January 2014 by chance, the pedal is solid but cheap appearance.

Unbeatable value for money and how sufficient !!
10/10

Overdrive pedal, the system copy of ibanez tube sreamer.
Analog.
The green is quite pleasant to the euil, the form is an ugly can I find ...
It's plastic, and it is signed behringer ... Brief for a connoisseur, ca not inspire much confidence ...
Not burst the LED eyes, contraiment has most of the behringer ...

UTILIZATION

VOLUME / TONE / GAIN

SOUND QUALITY

This is an overdrive, it's the only one I've ever had, so I can not really compare ...
This is less saturated and more "creamy" as my Boss DS-2, but I think I compare the disto overdrive general.
Personally, I use it primarily as boosteur, the gain is 0, the tone was 2 hours, and so is the volume.
I play on a JCM800 2205, in the limit of a clean crunch, and this pedal helps me to do so either solo undistorted (bulk up the volume) or to push my amp crunch.
And we must admit that for ca it is just perfect.
It compresses well, which is perfect for solo legerment clean "granular", and pushes my amp perfectly beautiful in the JCM800 crunch.
When I increase the gain, ba ... ca overdrive. My jcm seems to appreciate ... I think this pedal are very dependent on the amp used, and it works mainly on lamp amp ...
As the ibanez tube screamer to the final ...
She sometimes used equalizer (boost for serious acute), for AC as it is not too bad.
It does its job.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for almost a year, and no prob, it's reliable. For careful gents like me anyway ...
I tend to say "my TO800? Ba is in my pedal board until something better ... It's cool, but that's what behringer ..."
And poutant ...
I think in the end it is the pedal that I use most in my pedal board, more than my Ibanez WH10, my big muff, my boss what-5, my boss dd-7, my mxr90, my line6 FM4 and surment much as my boss ds-2.
This is my pedal has everything to do ... When I need a bit more volume or less volume, or to push my amp into the crunch, or make the sound more "round" thanks to compression, boost the treble or bass , ba I support it, and do what I ask.
Any of behringer I had my test or nauseated, and my friends are disgusted zicos.
The only one I have "accepted" is the TO800.
If she was not wearing the name "dirty" Behringer, I think I adore him, and quite a gent also aillor.
If love is blind certaint, I think as much, the prejudices make some deaf ...

seems that it is a copy of ibanez tube screamer?

I know too much, I purchased a Behringer pedal to 800

above, are not marked ts 808

brief

Finally, a plastic pedal, so slight, that avoids having to use a

team of movers each time you need to move his pideulborde

UTILIZATION

reading the manual is obviously essential, otherwise you may be likely to confuse the pedal with an outdoor skydiving ... follow my eyes (no, not even disapproving, actually)

SOUND QUALITY

it sounds great.
the real prob of behringer is regular ds quality fab.
I obviously (once) came to fall on a defective product, and it is true that there, it still défectue gravement.mais there something called collateral used to replace defective prods by which défectuent not.

OVERALL OPINION

I can not give an opinion regional, not having had the chance to travel the globe.
(BTW, I do no newspaper route)
but what I think of the pedal, but good.

Classic effect Tube
Analog drive tube.
Pedal plastic knob three (level, tone Hi-Lo, and Drive).

UTILIZATION

No need for manual: Besides, it offers no suggestion of setting ...
The big flaw: you can not play with the knobs, it works fine as long as everything is at MAX!
In addition, I have a small amp that I use with a reduced volume, so the function should be improved volume on this pedal.
To change the battery: Remove the cover. What happens if you not have a pen?

SOUND QUALITY

Frankly: I bought out of curiosity.
The effect is really good, but if it was not a big bother amp, the sound will come out too low!
The overdrive pedal is issued by the parasites and not "nice", which the coup-blues interress rather manic ...
I would say this pedal approaches the drive of the DS7 Ibanez, even lighter, but weaker in volume (or I was looking for the total saturation ... not).
I will therefore put a six because I expect a lot more behringer ... they are able!

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought it and I'll sell it because I want a tube louder in volume, should probably pay for an Ibanez TS ...
Behringer is a surprise to follow, because I think good effect. For 35 euros and it still is unheard of.

Indeed available: Tube type Overdrive TS9
Techno: Analog
connector: IN / OUT jack and power supply 9v battery or 9v

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be easier
the manual?

SOUND QUALITY

The rendering is too well
I use a std strat us, a Charvel, a epiphone GS400
all Behringer pedals for guitar I have is my prfre

OVERALL OPINION

I dpuis 2 days
sound, the price
the TS9 and frankly from the prestige of the brand and Coue sheet metal ...
report / trs good quality price, we can afford to lend without flipper

yes I would do this choice

No need to repeat, see previous opinions.

Only downside, manufacturing plastic. Whatever the price is normal and still seems strong enough

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple:

It adjusts the drive, tone and output level. Just do it.

on the other hand, changing the battery a little boring ...

SOUND QUALITY

Here it's all good!
Compared with the blind DX Ibanez TS9 TS9 mode. The TO800 has exactly the same sound! I said exactly! Can not make a difference by switching from one foot to another.

Question hum and breath RAS, no more than the original

After it is only a matter of taste. One likes or dislikes the sound of the Tube Screamer.
For the TO800 color the sound as the original by cutting slightly the bass and treble.
With this pedal, you can not do metal. But it is ideal for the Blues or the good old Rock ...

OVERALL OPINION

This pedal is amazing next to the price.
It is equivalent to at least the TS9DX (TS9 mode) for about 3-4 times cheaper!
Only some will blame him its "toy". But honestly a guitarist careful with his equipment will not encounter any problems with. Especially if it's not a lot of scene. For most is the sound of this premium and the TO800 to give more than money ...

Pedals for overdrive / distortion.
Analog electronics.
Plastic well casing pais made me feel pretty good.
(For allergic people to plastics remember that there are thousands of quality and of variation on: car bodies, etc. Airbus nose. ... Then the ides prconues )
The electronic, it is of good quality trs.

UTILIZATION

It's true I also find the battery CHAC really bad.
Edit: you have to take the shot, it's more a problem APRS
The knobs seem a quality mcanique average.
Edit: mcaniquement they are zero, electronic so far so good.
But the rest is more than adequate.

SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality far more than correct and up to the competition.
Overdrive / distortion of good quality.
Rglages effective.
It should be can not grow in its extreme but up 3 / 4 to drive it behaves well.
Aiges cuts and the lower limit, but can be taken as a quality provides a sound called "vintage" or "low-fi", useful for passing in a mix.
Compress the sound and planes nuances of the game, but it's true for all the pedals I've tried, except for high-end.
It gives much better on my amp rsultats lights on an amp transistors.

OVERALL OPINION

Trs good impression on the part of pedals that I feared the worst.
I urge all those who have not put 150 in the high end.
Well worth it!

After a few months Edit: comparison with OD9 Maxon, Ibanez TS808, Boss SD1: aprsrglages to get the same in indiscriminate use I assure you it is trs, trs difficult make a difference. Go, I go back the note!

So a copy of the series Ibanez TS with the same components? But Chinese prices ...
The shell does not have to put off because there are plastics that age very bien.A about this pedal that I have a date of 21 made in this regard: no problem!
Classical connection, however the food is placed on the right side: not very practical when you have several pedals with jacks placed tight bends.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, no need to find manuel.On sound you want knowing that it is really very poor vintage.Basses, audio access on aigus.Les mediums and opportunities are limited but that's normal because this pedal is designed for a certain type of sons.Respecte guitare.Compression the natural.

SOUND QUALITY

If you like the vintage one is in heaven! A person not accustomed may be surprised by the range of sons.Pour blues and rock is what he faut.Pas of saturation furious. I use this pedal to boost solos and give some relief.Il I sometimes mix it with other Satus or to any seule.Elle is both efficient and clear channel for saturé.Mais appreciate the true value you have to play FORT! Gives great on tube amps but I have not tried it on the transistor.Ressort better position 1,2,3,4 style strato, 1.2 style Telecaster Gibson.cependant and attention to tone, not very effective, which in 24:00, is beginning to sound too acidic.

OVERALL OPINION

Unbeatable value for money today. I bought this pedal at Thomann (€ 36.00) by reading the reviews here and also those of Central Harmony (Audiofanzine the U.S.).
Since I sold it for a Fulltone II Mosfet Fulldrive.

Reproduction Fidler (a few good loan ok! Nivo to the rest of the circuit who cares) of the Ibanez Tube Screamer to (Uhha much more expensive!)

It's a Behringer pedals a little different from others, it is a little heavier, lgrement more expensive, but the point is not inportant.

MDR GOOD OK I z'aime BEHRINGER has to dazzle the eyes! javoue lol (wesh ta X2B22OP has seen the transformer saturation multiphasage high frequency analog blablabla)

/! NO MODELING /!

CIRCUIT OF REAL PROPERTY Manly!
A plastic case yes, but does it make you it's inportant that's in it, I pensse same as plastic armorti more than a classic case of iron.

I withdraw my 2 point for lightweight doubt about the life of the pedals and I am still rather STRID.

EDIT OF April 22, a year and a pa pte of problem!

UTILIZATION

While the pedals do not address the beginners given the particularity of its sound, not a sound prfre the beginners, let's go directly:

1 In 1 Out
Drive, Tone, Level. Turn: (frail, frail, Farm)

The tone and the drive gives the sound that seeks no problem.

SOUND QUALITY

Overdrive for the Blues, Rock'n'roll, etc ...

/! THRASHER AND CRAZY PLACE YOUR WAY BARBARIAN made of metal /!

Fai is the beautiful game, which ingeniously saturated remember Vietnam!

Vintage sound, a sound Tube Screamer is wanted! It was!

A Diamond in the price of Toc!

I play on a nice copy tlcaster and les paul (thank you harley benton and tho tho!) And a peavey classic 30 watt c really nice.
PS: Since I use it it's crazy how countless pedals seems dnaturante sound ... Dirty ... Boring ...

OVERALL OPINION

Unbeatable price! A tube screamer!
I noticed something recement: make a place your APRS TO800 HellBabe (the wah wah Behring), you get a monstrously pretty vintage style wah wah), the wah wah switched colors the same non- Really its ... if you know the use the wah wah behringer intrrssante is yet to beginners j'tait skeptical

Infact, for once the stain by the wah wah brings more to your sound TO800 take the quiz you will see ....

gnralement I use the config of the TO800 like this:

Drive near the minimum 3 quarts

Tone: In quart

Level: In the middle


in one word: INDISPENSSABLE

Well I will not go back on that, it's a clone of the TS808, overdrive pedal par excellence! It's all analog! 3 pots and it's party time! (I remove the pedals and everything is very clean inside, meaning that the solid!) Even the plastic seems very solid, if you do not swing join by jumping off a stool to turn on the pedal it should take easily

UTILIZATION

We can use simpler, it's over and play and I love it ... ^ ^ (And I play on a ToneLab SE ... go figure ..... xD)

SOUND QUALITY

Indeed really terrible. Gives the grain inimitable sound. Rich medium, rather directed his 70's / 80's. For metal it's not worth it not to! So I use it as a boost to my sounds and it's huge! Grain, potatoes, no loss of definition ... I love it! Now I would like to test an original TS808 to see if the price 10 times higher than is warranted .. ^ ^ (The vintage TS808 are traded often in the € 400!! OUCH)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for some time but I'm definitely hooked! At first I try first setting of a very important gain on an amp in clean ... it was nice but not Transend, a bit rough. After I try to boost, and there .... Miracle! ^ ^ I love this sound from the little crunch to overdrive discrete hard rock! I tried SRV as the chain with another tube OD (one of my Tonelab SE ^ ^) And it looks! Still its very distinctive! But the sound I love most is when I boost a marshall with her type .... So then it's all good, it makes a good 30 years back and found the sound ... : D

I had the opportunity to € 25! for the price of an overdrive that quality is given! I dare not talk about quality / price ratio ... the quality is there is beautiful but price is hidden ... ^ ^ Heho? ty when the price? : D
Of course I would do this either with the experience!

PS: I know I am very entousiaste but worth it! ^ ^
PS 2: Try it and you will understand me ... for the price it's magic! ^ ^

Good old pedal Overdrive / Distortion kind vintage
analogue
ultra-basic connection: 1 hall, 1 output, an adapter (optional adapter)
Full plastic shell is fragile, but lightweight in the gigbag to go on Repeat '.

UTILIZATION

The search for a sound is ultra-simple and the results more than convincing.
It adjusts the saturation, color with the treble-bass, then the output level of the signal.
The battery replacement is very tedious, but at this price, do not be choosy ... most is the sound that the animal product!

SOUND QUALITY

We enter the heart of the matter!
I am an "old" guitarist of 40 brushes, and I can say I've seen a few pedals under my feet. And then I can say I am amazed! Like everyone I had an a priori negative behringer (cheap quality, no brand) but I went and compared to the obvious: they know how to sound just like Boss, ProcoSound and others.
This sounds really TO 800 Ibanez TS! is little to say as the resemblance is striking. I think as well as the amp used and the settings, it is almost impossible to distinguish a difference. Only the snobbery of some could deny it ... and honestly, why the original expensive to play on a 15W amp transistors purchased at the local flea market??
Anyway if you play on a Soldano "all lamps" to 20000 balls you do not need this kind of overdrive pedal for your ...
In all cases you will find "the Son" in you guided by your ears, not your pride.
on the other hand, metal of all kinds, go your way, this is confined to the register TO800 vintage distortion, nothing to smash the walls! Hendrix fans, Moore, Led Zep, Deep Purpple etc ... welcome to the club of its fat as 70 '. A treat!

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased from Thom ... port included for 27.40 three weeks ago, I repeat that this is a bargain. I had several OD or Dist Boss from home, I have a Proco RAT2 (for its velvety in jazz) and I reaffirm that behringer makes a modest addition to my set.
The value for money is astounding. I know that this pedal seems more fragile than the competition, but for from 4 to 10 times cheaper!
This is my second purchase after Helbabe behringer wah (great too!).
Tip: try this absolutely TO800, the only risk is to adopt it.

After three concerts for the music festival, I confirm all the good that I think the sound of the pedal, and all included in the PA before 300 people sounds really pro. A treat, I was congratulated for my "sound" without knowing ...
As against a flat to very light knobs that disrupt the slightest flick: need to be careful before playing that everything is in order!

I will not add any dj is in other topics.
By against me I find Systm cover open for battery replacement trs well not need a screwdriver or other accessories to open a simple pen and presto! the round is played.

UTILIZATION

Nothing complicated just "play" with the three pots to find the sound, it will APRS dpendre the amp or guitar.
I will reframe the remarks highlighting the cot gadget of all, I am a musician with 32 years of 48ans scne ROCK / BLUES.
There is only one way to have the hardware in the State is to take care of, make music does not mean breaking his gear.
How indignant at the price of the hardware and the lev dtruire ngligence by simple, so for the pedals like any other hardware, the RULES of gold for that hard is to be careful.
So for me the plastic cot does not scare me.

SOUND QUALITY

And well, what about it is that of happiness, the sound is quite the appointment, hot crmeux.
Personal I use it with a les paul and tlcaster on an amp Epiphone Valve spcial lamp (which I modified by putting a clestion hp and lamps EH).
On scne I transplanted all on the sound system via a limp DI (behringer G100) with simulated hp.
Bein frankly I sound I like (creedence, softphone ...) but also my sound.

OVERALL OPINION

Why put more quality CHRE scabies?
I think the world of music should be stopping the snobbery, but listen and look for the sound that everyone is clean.
We must also take into account the purchasing power of each, and these days there is frankly hardware "cheap" is worth the cost of being essay.
So in conclusion, do not spit on the Bringher by Bringer of what it must above all try and talk about APRS, but it's the same for all brands.
I remake that choice without problem

OVERALL OPINION

I just mailed the notice to clear a big misunderstanding: THIS IS NOT A TS 808!
I have a TS-5, a TS-9, a TS 808 800 and the TO so I can compare!
First observation by plugging;

The sound is not bad, far from it rather hot and bold, the slight boost in overdrive means (as his inspiration). But the resemblance stops there, if we push the tone of knob beyond 12 hours the sound gets "spicy" and aggressive (in the bad sense), the dynamics have just eaten by the "real" here is completely dissolved , sound as a whole is "end" and a little synthetic, treble and bass are acidic too hard.

Let's take a look at the pcb to understand:

The original (ts 9 a circuit with maxon acronym in this case):


The TO 800:



We still see a slight difference right?

Finally, this little pedal still an asset, its price, for my part I got it for € 19 (not the cheapest store that I know ...) a small price when you hear the sound money all comes out okay!
So you do not mind lugging around the, I use it also like that, out of the question that I fixed on my pedal board but to go jam with friends in a manner "road" is perfect. ..
A good little pedal for those who want a bit of a warm tube amp low end or add a little gain on a transistor, a ridiculous price can buy it without asking too many questions and not be embarrassed on the day sheapissime its plastic case will be found crushed under a big plate!

Analog

tube screamer-like

UTILIZATION

A classic 3-button overdrive gain, level, tone

SOUND QUALITY

Played on a Start and a Tele on a Peavey Classic 30 amp .... and transistors

OVERALL OPINION

Overdrive really nice.

Attention gentlemen nags, it may seem fragile, but ..... this pedal will not interest the nags

compared to a ts-like mxr, there's not much different ...... except for some frequencies and less as the price (80euros difference)

I put 8 because for the price (about 30 euros), c something crazy
frankly, now I see myself not put 100 euros in overdrive

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>EDIT: finally maybe I'll put 100 euros or more in an OD, for more transparency. But she has a real personality this pedal and I still love it</span>

<p class="bbcode-cite"> <span>Finally I put a Fulltone OCD 100 ....... but I kept the Behringer, to boost the OCD</span>

<p class="bbcode-cite"> <span>Considering the price, go for it!
</span>

This is a pedal that uses the same operational amplifier (AO) as the original: RC4558 the coup it would be a clone.

UTILIZATION

Utisa very simple.

SOUND QUALITY

I use an amplifier to boost Blackheart BH15-112 with the following settings: drive = 1 Tone Level = 4.5 = 9.5 and j'obtient a great vintage sound from blues to hardsoft (depending on the settings of the drive BH15-112 ) be it with an SG, a Custom77, a whale or a fender squier custom p90.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this config since 2008 and I am satisfied, I rarely change the settings of the pedal, I prefer changing the settings in the amp depending on the guitar used. What I like most is that it delivers warm sound with this tube amp.
Against it by a brittle plastic pedal, I do not know how long the switch will keep switching ... I prefer the D'Autrepart avecun PSU power because the battery is too bad to change.
For the price it is good and I would do this choice. Having said that we begin to find other clones on the cheap through brands like Belcat, Eagletone ...

Ovedrive type "tube screamer"
3 knobs: tone, volume, gain
input / output jack
taken to put a trap 9v battery 9v
Small flat on the quality of manufacture, but given the price ...

UTILIZATION

Pedal very easy to use, the volume is adjusted, the rate of saturation and tone

Small flat on the tone seems useless to me because the sound becomes worse if one moves from the center

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal sounds really spell correctly.
I use it at this time in concert as boost pending buy better.

So like the tube screamer, it can be used in 2 ways

Into overdrive on its clear.
This gives a very creamy bluesy sound very nice if you have a good basis for clear sound

In boost
It makes the sound a bit sharper on satus a little fat and adds a layer of gain.

As apparently the original sound is enough medium and becomes a bit fuzzy when you push the shutter drive.

Too bad the tone is not very persuasive.

OVERALL OPINION

I had purchased an additional order from thomann to avoid shipping charges, at which time it was on sale for € 15.

I do not regret this purchase as it well help me out.
This is not the pedal of the century but it gives a sound serious enough to get good sound if the rest of the chain is of good quality.

Better than some ibanez ts7 or sub-TubeScreamer they came out.

I have not compared with the TS9 reissues or 808, I guess the difference must be the same.

I advise all blueseux apprentice or those who need a little more gain on the amp crunch Marshallian and have a tight wallet.

I put 8 for value for money

It is a tube screamer "by behringer" for details, see below. Accuracy: Analog!

The casing is plastic, of course, but those who find "cheap" should be 200 kg loggers who play with shoes cast is not possible ... Although attached to a crank, there's no worries!

on the other hand, it is true that the knobs are a bit lighter, but generally, once we found a good sound, it affects relatively few cases.

It's low cost, no reliability problem for me, so I put 5.

UTILIZATION

Nothing more, nothing less than a TS or ibanez maxon, a classic of classic guitar pedal.

You can find easily what you seek, so I put 8.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it primarily as a boost, ie very low gain, volume up.

It allows me to increase the gain of my amp (clean and crunch) as my distortion pedals (RAT, Fuzz Face DIY).

It is compatible with everything! Allows to vary, alter its sound, it adds midrange out of the mix. In short, it is essential to any self-respecting Pedalboard good.

Most importantly, she has nothing, but then nothing to envy in terms of sound quality with different models they copied, it does nothing more either, so I put 8, come on, I put even 9 , BH engineers deserve it!

OVERALL OPINION

I already had the opportunity to test other Behringer, whenever I was disgusted sound, inaudible (special mention for their flanger! Yuck) But then c 'is a great surprise!

It may therefore be described as perfect copy, as they arrived for x times less expensive to create the same sound as the models. Difficult to 10 for the sake of hardware, including knobs and LED dazzling, but it deserves its 9 in total.

Here we present an analog overdrive with its name and color are reminiscent of a bestseller Ibanez ...

Not much to say. From classic.
A tone, gain a Level: necessary and sufficient.

on the other hand, and what this plastic pedals are very cheap ... This is confirmed by 100% plastic knobs that are too light do not turn round and have the game
Incidentally, it is not delivered in a box but in a transparent blister like a cheap toy ...
But hey, this is not the most important ...

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, so.
Not bother to extend too much on the issue.


SOUND QUALITY

Ouch!
This is where it is striker, because the song does not relate entirely to feathers!
I own an Ibanez TS9, and it clearly has nothing to do, or even remotely. Green color and evocative name will remain the only clear commonality between the two.
Not only the miracle "Tube Screamer at 25 €" has not occurred, but in addition, there is not even the vaguest resemblance whatsoever, and I did not feel like having for my 25 €!
The sound is compressed, without any scale, and the dynamics is severely eaten. As long as we stay with the Tone below 1 / 3 and with very little gain, it remains almost usable. Not pretty, but usable. If you go up the gain, you end up with a sizzling crunch hyper transistorized really very ugly. And if you go up the tone, the sound is not only disgusting, but it becomes more shrill.

In the end, I see only two possible uses for this pedal actually:
- A bad boost for the channel of an overdriven amp
- A pedal-to-use way to get very specific sounds very "special", very bombastic (in this register is only unflattering to what was intended as a "analog overdrive" I sometimes branch).
Its more than a caricature, then, a great amp is not enough to save.


OVERALL OPINION

I have this thing for two and a half years. I have not sold it because I do not wish harm to anyone.
I bought it because I wanted to base, coupled in series with my TS9, the SRV. It is ultimately almost unusable as it sounds bad.
Although it is very inexpensive, value for money remains in my view, disastrous. Compared to other brands of pedals "cheap" (Artec, Aria, Danelectro ...), it was not even for money.
Those who seek a sound way TS9 or TS808 gain time to move very quickly on their way. The miracle did not happen.
Incidentally, it was almost immediately reliability problems. Sometimes more means of turning it on ... then it comes back ... the power plug has never worked ...
Avoid it, so ...

Copy of the famous by Behringer TS808

UTILIZATION

ABS plastic green, 1 gain, 1 tone, 1 volume, is simple.
Manual useless, just plug in and turn the knobs ...
For nags who confuse stomp and kick pedal to avoid, for others, it's OK. I use it for 2 years, turning the knobs regularly in all directions and no reliability problem.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it mainly to give boost to the thickness and sustain to an already saturated and it's done its job.
I have not tried the original, difficult to compare.

I reproach TONE mainly limited action as beyond the first quarter, I find her shrill and unpleasant.
I did the test compare with an emulation of a TS808 after DIGITECH RP350, which is exactly the same!

That said, the schematic of TubeScreamer Ibanez is known worldwide and on the net, so not difficult to reproduced the original. Which leaves me skeptical when the various reviews that say the very distant from the original ... snobbery?

OVERALL OPINION

I use regularly for 2 years, and for the price I can only advise!
