iamqman « TS9 in a head »
Published on 08/11/11 at 13:27The first thing I think of when I think of Ibanez music company is there TS9 tube screamer pedal. This is one of the highly used distortion pedals on the market today. This pedal has been one of the most frequented pedals for touring musicians and recording musicians. Ibanez also builds very good and low priced guitars. This is one of the first amplifiers that I've seen from Ibanez.
This is a 15 W guitar amplifier that has a good tube screamer sound within it. This amp features two 6v6 power tubes and 2 12ax7 preamp tubes. This has a genuine tube screamer circuit built in that the front end of this amplifier. The controls consist of tube screamer overdrive tone level as well as the normal EQ control knobs such as travel base and volume. This is missing the middle controlled on but it doesn't really need it. Your side to switch to switch it from the 15 W of power all the way down to 5 W of power for a better handle on your volume issues. This allows you to play with the higher crunch tone at eight more silent playing level.

SOUNDS
If you like the tone of a Ibanez tube screamer and you'll like the sound of this camp. If you want more a high gain amplifier this is not good to be the amplifier for you. This is going to be the nice clean distortion the fine for me TS9 pedal. The tone is exactly like a tube screamer so if that is your thing and this might be the camp for you. This amp works very well in conjunction with its matching 12 speaker cabinet. You can plug this amp into any other speaker cabinet with ease. I suggest a good British speaker to connect with this amp. Celestion speakers would be the speaker of choice when it comes to dialing in the perfect time for this amplifier.
OVERALL OPINION
This is an amp that is very budget friendly. You can find them for the new price of $299. As that is an exceptional price for an amplifier that sounds this good. I would recommend this amp to anyone who is absolutely stoked with the sound of a TS9 pedal and wants a tube version of that. This is a tube version of the tube screamer and is is a cool little amp.
