still I would ask if we have hit peak tubescreamer...
You could probably get down to 3 or 4 different types of you put an EQ pedal after them
but they are ‘small objects of desire’ and that fulfills a need in many of us
The shinier the box the better
I can’t soeak for everyone but when it comes to pedals and common sense, I can’t get those two things to co-exist
Thought So.
Seriously, how is it possible to make a 335 directly into a Tweed Twin sound so breathtakingly drab? Switching the pedals on didn't help much either, that was the most unusably shit guitar tone I've heard for some time.
They should fire that guy immediately.
Also, the standard Tube Screamer does *not* blend clean tone along with the distorted tone as he says. It simply doesn't clip the lower range of the signal, which is not the same thing at all.

Just been looking at the specs of a nutube, the basic gain of 5 means an overall gain of 25 which isn't great and the current sourcing is terrible so it will have to drive into a high impedance buffer before you could take it any stage further. The low voltage operation is ideal for pedals though and the tiny currents mean biasing is easy. Wouldn't be hard to make a basic boost with the basic ref circuit driving into a buffer ...... whether it would sound any better than a pure SS boost is debatable though

Disappointing. Its expensive and doesn't sound like a tubescreamer. They've taken everything that makes a tubescreamers identity and made it very bland. Theres no mid hump, too much level and its just not as good as a TS9 or 808.
Fair play for trying to embrace new technology, but theres nothing in this pedal that can't be done by pedals a third of its price.
It does look great though!
