All user reviews for the Ibanez TS7 Tube Screamer

Distortion pedal:

there is a choice between two styles one taken directly from the TS9 another hot fashion appeal and much more modern and bold.

there's a between it and an output jack, a listing Ventuel for power supply and trape for the battery.

the carcass is very beefy.

USE

The use could not be easier and it uffit a few minutes to try plusiseurs really DIFFERENT sounds or adopt one that suits you mine, really very instinctive in emem time given the number of knob, nothing more Easy one button to drive the level of distortion, tonalite and level that manages the output level (effective enough) and a two-position selector for both modes of the pedal.
not need the manual ...

SOUND QUALITY

I begin with my section prfr the TS9 mode, high sympathetic vintage sound pretty good as it should be, (purple haze or whole lotta love etc ...)
for the mod hot it is also very efficient and allows quite pushed saturation much garish and can also serve boost.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 2 years and I love the TS 9 mode that really corresponds to what I play I tried a few models in the same price range with bosses and marshall but really this one which I I most enjoy.
The value for money is excelent level, 50 ca it's really a matter of the more uen pedal very robust.
I could make the election 1000 times if I have the ocasion.

As mentioned in the other reviews: Overdrive Pedal Tonelok (knobs can be pushed to protect them during travel or to keep its settings).

A Tone
A Level
Drive A

AND a switch TS9-Hot. The resulting mod Hot (roughly) to act as if there were two TS9 chain. This is an extra gain with a different sound side TS9.

UTILIZATION

The manual is simple and gives 3 cool settings to start.

Pedal super easy to use.

And relatively robust.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is quite correct.
Personally I do not use my home as an amplifier transistor which is a shame for a Tube Screamer which is supposed to scream tubes by pushing them to the end.

But even she is ideal transistor to boost an overdrive already see this used as the switch through OverDrive HOT.

The sound is similar to a TS9, the only difference is that the sound of the TS9 is a little more work, a little more "embroidered", a little more rounded on the edges while the sound of TS7 is more direct. But unlike his and the price difference between the two pedals, there is no photo I chose TS7.

Especially if you plan to use a Tube Screamer as boost the TS7 his job done as well as or even TS9 TS808. So do not be afraid of focus for this type of use

ONLY HIC tone of the knob on my pedal is not very accurate.
It has an impact on its course, but I saw it more accurate knobs on the sound, between 6 and 8 (10) we see that very little difference as when from 8 to 10 on immediately feel good in acute significant.

Apart from that this pedal is very good.
And frankly a very good sound (Tube Screamer type of course).

OVERALL OPINION

I have this pedal and I intend to keep it, it is ideal for boost, and most often it is the role of the most widely used for Tube Screamer (overdrive to boost use another pedal in the chain effect).

Independent in overdrive as she is doing very well, she is very "direct" and how HOT is very satisfactory although purists will tell you that its not worth such as pedal or pedal ... Hey! Do not forget that this pedal costs almost ("almost") nothing (for me I had used 30 euros battery included). So level price / quality ratio is nickel!

In fact it is the same work that the sisters except it is a little less typical, which is why some prefer it to the TS9.

The fact that her sister is so TS9 used by both renowned artists and any edge that the TS7 can not emerge from the shadows.

And much more! Because in this way the TS7 is a very affordable price while maintaining a quality worthy of a Tube Screamer!

A very good product that is certain!

everything has been said

Somewhat austere aspect which 9/10, but ... if the sound we will ......!!

UTILIZATION

Very easy and simple.
Unnecessary manual

SOUND QUALITY

It sounds fabulous.
I use it for the blues-rock 50's to 80's
and also for rockabilly. I use my TS9 limit for TS7 and cruncher rhythm and solos unsheathed. I prefer the light but punchy at the same time.
The sound is amazing with my Gibs LP and my Fender Blues Jr.

OVERALL OPINION

great sound for solos.
I play blues rock and she's better than the TS9.
The sound is more than adequate and provides a mild overdrive, but this. I shredde with ... it's a pleasure!.
Pedal underestimated, the better it is cheaper to buy.
I recommend it to all blueseux and rockers of the old school joint.

The Ibanez TS-7 Tubescreamer is a basic overdrive pedal with a few extra touches. A metal pedal housing covers plastic jacks for the input and output. Three knobs are used for drive, tone, and level that are the “Tonelock” signature knobs. The user pushes the knob and it pops out, you dial in your setting and then push the button back into the pedal to lock the setting in place, which is a nice feature. This model also features a “Hot” switch that adds more saturation to the signal.

UTILIZATION

This pedal’s selling feature is that it gets the sound of TS-9 and then some while having the Tonelock set and lock knobs. This is great for someone who moves their pedals around a lot as it keeps your sounds locked in place and since the knobs move into the pedal housing they are less likely to get damaged if the pedal gets thrown around on the way to a gig. The plastic input and output jacks are useable but metal jacks that lock to the housing would make this pedal a lot sturdier. The platform used to engage the pedal is solid but the actual switching mechanism used is the weakest part of the pedal. After a few months of use this pedal starts missing when you go to engage it and it takes an extra stomp to get it on or off. After awhile this cheap switch just wears out and it takes more and more stomps to get it to turn on.


SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of the pedal is actually pretty decent. It doesn’t do warm breakup excellent, but just ok. Using it as a boost for solos is adequate or as a round saturated lead tone with the “hot” switch engaged is this pedals best uses. I wouldn’t use this as a basic distortion for rhythm guitar because it is just too smooth and compressed. Trey from Phish is known for using a Tubescreamer into a Tubescreamer and that’s what the hot mode of this pedal sounds like. Compressed and saturated. The normal mode of this pedals sounds like your basic TS-9 Tubescreamer, just light overdrive with a bump in the mid section of the EQ.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall I would get this pedal if I needed a temporary light overdrive or heavy overdriven sound, but it’s not suited for a distortion sound. The pedal has a strong housing, but lacks strength in the input/output jacks and the bypass switch (which is sure to fail over time). The pedal has a decent sound, but due to the switching issues I would not purchase this pedal again. I would save up and get a nicer built and sounding pedal like the Fulltone OCD. If I were to choose another pedal in this price range I’d go for the Transparent Overdrive by Danelectro (better sounding and more versatile all together) or the Bad Monkey Overdrive by Digitech (very similar sounding with a much better build quality and two band EQ, but maybe a little less gain on tap).

- Ibanez TS7 tube screamer pedals, tone of the family of locks, Next-Generation of Ibanez pedals from home.
- The pedals are fitted with a jack between 6.35 and a similar output jack.
- Cts buttons: one level, a drive and one Tone and one small button that can boost the effect "tube Screamer".
- The look is quite interresting as this is not the boss but mtal as a kind of plastic ultra rsistant but do not worry as the fawn that I abused, it's always nickel date. The gray color is also a point that gives the charm PDAL (Well for me but had to point out that it silent gray!!)

UTILIZATION

- Trs simple configuration, you move the buttons to rgler your drive, the tonal and the level, once the paramtrages effectus, you press the buttons to which they are housed in the p dale. Systm This is because cell ingnieux can walk around with his pedals after repeat it ends and the board is in and plug the jacks again without the buttons as they paramtrages it have not changed since repeats. To change a paramtrage, just press r The argument DSIR button and hop out.
- The edition of the sounds is quite easy and quite significant I mean by that each change in Settings, the sound changes.
- Level Manual, that is ok, no pb, and more Ibanez rglages gives examples from the style which is interresssant DSIR for novices to use the pedals

SOUND QUALITY

- Effect ralistes enough with all of the same BMOL one: it is necessary all the same perspective, the tube screamer is not a "copy" of the ibanez tube screamer "vintage". But the sound quality is of the same appointment and we approach these old ibanez tube screamer that today even in rdition are expensive (I think, for me at least).
- I use it with my Ibanez RG270 and my Ibanez Ergodyne EDR470EX, to boost the gain of my amp Peavey Transtube, cel can give ides may be other pocsseurs the same stuff, I plays mainly mtal until the blues to say and what I 'think that is that it is trs polivalente, I can not don' spare today.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for 2 years and RAS on the pedals because s my choice is made according to the sound I wanted so no regrets.
- At the price I have of the purchase around 60 new and for the price, there's no photo, go for it.
- If tomorrow I had to renew my tube if it is let go, no pb, I repeat the same.

The TS7 is a really cheap version of the Tubescreamer. It has the added feature of a 'hot' switch. The hot switch takes your normal Tubescreamer sound and adds a bunch more gain.

A cool feature of this Tubescreamer is the knobs push into the pedal case. You can pop them out, set them how you want them, and then push them back in. This makes it impossible to accidentally tweak your setting while gigging.

As far as I understand it this pedal is just a few component values off from the original TS808 circuit. Having owned both this pedal and a TS808 clone at the same time I can safely say there is little to no difference when the hot switch is disengaged.

This pedal is built like a tank, you'd have to try to break it.



UTILIZATION

Its setup like your classic tube screamer with an extra switch. It has tone, level, and gain. Its pretty much as simple as it gets.

SOUND QUALITY

I've only ever used this with guitar.

With the hot switch disengaged it works just like a tubescreamer should. Mild OD, great for slamming the front end of a barely broken up tube amp. Sounds gorgeous.

I believe it has a buffered bypass, but its still a very transparent pedal. When bypassed it doesn't color your tone.

The hot switch brings something new to the table. When its engaged this pedal has tons of gain. In my opinion more then you'll ever need with this type of pedal. The Tubescreamer circuit really shines when its boosting a tube amp, by itself its nothing special. The hot switch takes that nothing special tone and just gives it way more gain. The worst part is that is also jacks up the noise floor to the point that its essentially unusable due to noise.


OVERALL OPINION

The think I like least is the hot switch. Its a completely useless and unnecessary feature in my opinion.

That said, with the hot switch disengaged this pedal is pretty much a TS808. Which is a thing of beauty.

You can find these things used for less than thirty dollars. At that price there is no reason not to buy one. I sold mine because I built an exact clone of a TS808, and honestly I would have been just as happy if I had just stuck with the TS7.

Overdrive with two saturation intensity: TS9 and HOT (blowing very hard for that matter).

Analog pedal, which I classify simulated tube overdrive.

It plugs into an effects loop with mono jack input and one output.

And you can shoot in on stage, it holds up.

UTILIZATION

General configuration simple.

The effect of the Tone button is clearer from 3 / 4 of a turn toward the treble.

The manual configuration of sounds on which I did not linger.

SOUND QUALITY

Effects effective, especially in hot.
What I like is the aspect simulator lamp. When you saturate the pedal (which has a high output!), And the amp is behind, it's great. It gives a good heat!

I make it spit out a max of my little Fender 15G. It's bold, it's dirty, it's hot, it's rock'n'roll. Yum.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it forever. She gave me a good feeling on all the amps I've used. I do not see it elsewhere even to test an amp without the pedal. I would like to offer me the original version or edition, for the REAL TS9's, not the simulation of a simulation-O)

The value for money is good. It is worth a cinquentaine euros. For small config is already very good.

Good saturation '!

-Overdrive pedal can be used to boost the volume
Jack in / out, a plug for the power supply or a battery, three knobs (drive, tone, level), switch "hot" an on / off switch

UTILIZATION

-Very easy to use, plug, turn the knobs and it sounds
-No need to notice!

SOUND QUALITY

-Honestly, I am very happy with the sound. With little drive the pedal makes the sound of my amp transistor crystalline jaime much. By mounting the drive, the sound becomes fatter. The sound is fine for me, well colored.
My config-usual: the level at 3 to 12 the tone and the drive variable, it rings on all his race, but I am using the first half of the knob to crystalline sounds for the sounds saturated + j ' have other pedals.
-I removed 1 point for how "hot" (basically an overdrive + delivery) I do not like the sound, which is not very realistic for my taste

OVERALL OPINION

"I use this pedal for quite 3 years
"I really love the sound, it is my clear sound basic
"I tried the Boss sd-1 (same price, so I also compared overdrive) I liked that one too but its more fat, which is complementary to TS7 in my opinion.
Value-sound / excellent price, for against a downside: the switch, I read that it was a recurring problem with the pedals in the series tone-lok, mine is showing signs of fatigue and the pedal is activated not always!
-With experience, I would do not have that choice, let me explain: I am fully satisfied with this pedal, I would replace it if it failed, for an equivalent of best bill (ts 808 Ibanez, maxon, etc. ...)

PDAL Boost / Overdrive based on the famous Tubescreamer TS9 SERIES Tonelook.
3 knobs-drive
-Tone
-Level
and a switch to switch the mode TS9 Hot; an overdrive with more gain.

-In
-Out
AC-9V. This PDAL consumes max. 8mA, so you can power it by batteries without breaking the bank, even when I nanmoins prfr adapter.

The case is mtal me and looks really solid.

I pay 52. All for the price, it's really perfect!

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear, it clearly explains how to change the batteries and even gives examples of rglages.

Systm of the knobs is really practical and not likely to move alone! Trs scne practical.

Against by the On / Off is red but not really good but seeing the trs chipotte I can be too much.

SOUND QUALITY

Super, I was looking Tubescreamer mind, the warm overdrive without snapping 150 or more. And I am delighted. In the manual it even says that it is the same mode TS9 TS9 circuit that! I use it with an ibanez tlcaster and fatstrat (gsa60) pedals and this is really perfect for boosting the clean sound of my amp. I get so beautiful arpges tl with a subtle game incredible.

OVERALL OPINION

The pedals should really have those who want to sound too Tubescreamer without breaking the bank and having a quality of pedals (Body mtal strong, very practical system of knob)

It is more trs complmentaire my Rat that I use in the "bigger sound", and sounds a little fuzz.
I would do 1000 times the choice.

It's an overdrive pedal (not distortion), completely analogique.il should be noted that the possde clbre rc4558d chip which is the Malaysian version of the JRC is supposed to reproduce 4558D.elle the famous Tube Screamer

UTILIZATION

Trs many think, the bug: three knobs that can get in and out of his pedals to mmoriser rglages. No need for manual, turn the knobs and it cost whatever it gives! The case is made of steel, against the switch by switch-trs is sensitive on mine (press the tip of the foot to the effect .... shame Inrush)

SOUND QUALITY

I use a Fender Lite Ash Telecaster, a TS 7 and TS 9 sent to a Peavey Bandit 112. I put the TS7 and TS9 with the three knobs in the center and looked the Difference: h is quite small though! say that the TS9 offers rglages sounds thinner and slightly less rough .... but the TS 7 is doing well trs.
as a booster of his clear tone drive a 0 in the center: a nice little vintage trs
as slight overdrive: her trsractif attacks, seems more size for single coil pickups: one pint quickly the warm sound of SRV or gilmour (well everything is relative)
Overdrive muscle: possible!, Not my rglage prfr but it is possible!

how HOT is enough anecdotal ... I never use it.

OVERALL OPINION

A good affordable pedals for the guitarist who wants to familiar to this kind of effect. Ca never replace a tube amp, but it can boost an amp transistor Manir convincing.

Shame about the faulty switch (apparently generic problem on these pedals)

Analog overdrive pedal so

UTILIZATION

very easy to use, we found a good setup quickly, celon what you search!
good, the volume pot on this model are not very precise and progressive but I personally do not care!
when I have the right settings, anyway after I touch no more!

SOUND QUALITY

Most importantly, the sound:



Here, I assure you that it sounds!
I just do without! to boost a solo, there is nothing better than a good Tube Screamer! and TS7 is more than enough in my opinion.

So there's a way "hot", well, there is a very big overdrive and I prefer the light mode (ha ha!) "TS9, which works perfectly!



OVERALL OPINION

I just have and I'm not about to play without this pedal!
it adds the fat in the notes to the SRV!
and she's very dynamic, you can review the positions of the selector and you will see that you concerver propore sonic characteristics of each.

Analog tube screamer pedal

UTILIZATION

3 buttons (drive, tone, level), we find the setting that suits us easily by ear.
The manual offers 3 settings "standard" (hot distortion, boost ...).
Feature: the buttons can be blocked by simple pressure (useful for keeping a setting)
2 modes are available: "TS9" that uses the same circuit as the said pedal and "hot" which gives a further distortion.

SOUND QUALITY

We recover the sound of a TS that quickly becomes essential!
I use a Start with classic vibe and 2 are a pair!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month.
I tried one before and TS9 TS7 because I preferred the more than 2 times cheaper without losing much quality.

Overdrive ultra known, everything has been said. 2 TS9 and Hot modes. Not true bypass. Attractive in theory because it copies the TS9.

UTILIZATION

The config is simple, 3 knobs shrink who looks a little fragile, they are afraid they will break or not apparent when pressed. Little switch to switch from one mode to another. It's easy as any overdrive.

SOUND QUALITY

We enter the heart of the matter. I bought this pedal after seeing many very positive reviews including one by Judge Fredd. I had a Green edition model so green as its big sisters (much prettier than the ugly gray Tonelok). But at its big disappointment! I sold it after 2 days. I find the overdrive not terrible compared to what I have, that is to say a Transparent Overdrive Danelectro. Well between the 2 not the shadow of a doubt, the Dano sounds very hot, it's beautiful, I always left switched either on clean or overdrive channel of my amp it is indispensable. In comparison, the TS7 is just bof. But mostly it is the worst baggy half my sound in my pedal chain, and whistle my muff was so horrible. Incompatible with my pedals, my sound food, its not terrible, finishing plastoc = no thank you.

OVERALL OPINION

Used two days, I keep my Danelectro without hesitation. The feature I liked most was perhaps because its green color for the rest there was nothing to save. For 45 euros in nine there are ways to find much better. Never again and never TS7 pedal without true bypass.
