The Tubescreamer TS9, recognized as a synonym for overdrive effects pedals by artists worldwide in the 1980s, has been revived with its original specifications. It excels at boosting high-gain amps and providing mid-range sustain, making it a model student of overdrive. This versatile pedal can be used in various genres such as pop, blues, and metal. Ibanez is an OEM of MAXON, which was sold by Hoshino Gakki. For guitarists who loved the previous models, the revival of the Tubescreamer is truly good news, allowing them to experience its warm and sticky unique sound quality once again. ■ Exquisite balance of sound quality that conveys the player's nuances directly The Tubescreamer TS9 works well with Fender amps, and when used as a booster for Marshall amps, it creates a wonderful sound world with an exquisite, mild compression feel. Its exquisite balance conveys the player's nuances directly, making solos very easy to play. When used with a clean amp, the texture of the picking becomes clearer, making it ideal for blues. It has an overall calm impression, making it easy to control, and consumes 6mA of current, powered by a 9V (006P) dry cell battery x 1, with an AC adapter (AC509) sold separately. ■ Warm sound as if driving a vacuum tube The controllers are DRIVE (GAIN), TONE, and LEVEL. Setting DRIVE to 10 produces a warm sound as if driving a vacuum tube. Conversely, setting DRIVE to 0 allows for clean boosting, with almost no switch noise. The wide range of TONE adjustability makes it a classic in terms of usability. It provides its effects in an exquisite manner, making it a reliable pedal. The fact that the Tubescreamer TS9, which is purchased by world-class players, costs around 15,000 yen is astonishing. Body only. We appreciate your understanding and ask that you purchase only if you agree. Manufacturer: Ibanez
