MGR/Anonymous « Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer »
Published on 08/08/03 at 15:00Picked this one up at Guitar Center in Boston a year ago (2002) for about $100.
Easy to use (only three knobs). Definitely a mellow overdrive and nothing more, however it is great at what it does. Throw it on while on your clean channel and it's sort of a fuzz, or overdrive your leads with some added sustain and attitude. It's nice at getting a sort of Slash-like tone on lead. Don't forget SRV though also.
The only thing i don't like is that it adds a little extra noise, especially when your on your distortion channel. It's hardly noticeable while playing, but if you have to pause for any reason i prefer to curl my volume control down a couple levels to avoid listening to the thing bitch at me.
The construction is perfectly good I'd say, but then again no guitar gear of mine has ever shit the bed so I don't have much to compare it to.
Bottom Line is try it out. See what you think. I personally think this pedal could be an asset on anyone's rig.
