Distortion Pedal Review – Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer

Written by admin on January 29, 2009 – 7:20 pm -

Most guitar players view this as being one of the best distortion pedals around. It is a reissue of the classic Tube Screamer, and is made of many of the same components, and shares the same tonal qualities as the original. This tone of course is best described as some serious overdrive. The Ibanez TS9 comes equipped with tone, drive and level controls to help shape its distinctive sound.

The Ibanez Tube Screamer provides really nice, crisp sounds that will work with any guitar and amp setup you could imagine. It makes it sounds like you are playing through a vintage Tube Amp cranked on overdrive. It really performs great at what it does, and it should definitely be the next addition to your setup. it is built quite solidly and looks like it could definitely take a beating, and keep on rocking.

When I had a chance to test this out I noticed immediately clear, crunchy kind of sounds I could get when playing chords, and bluesy tones I could also create with a little bit of tweaking. The sound is really thick, and works well for lead playing as well when the gain is turned up. I also used this as a boost for my existing distortion, and it sounded great. It really gave my guitar sound an edge.

Overall, this is is a great effects pedal. If you are looking for a high quality effects pedal that can offer you some awesome tones and smooth vintage overdrive, be sure to check one out today.
