![]() ![]() This is weak point in the design sometimes causing the jacks to break off. ![]() All TS10s (as well as other L and 10-series pedals) used floating jacks and pots, which were mounted to the boards instead of the cases. Some TS10 pedals were made in Taiwan, using a MC4558 chip. The TS10 had three times as many changes to the circuit than the TS9 had had. TS10: In 1986, Ibanez began production of the 'Power Series', which included the TS10 Tube Screamer. A rare and valuable version of the Tube Screamer was the ST9 Super Tube Screamer, which was sold only in Europe and Australia. These were only made in 1985, and did not have the Tube Screamer in the line-up. ![]() ![]() Once Ibanez discontinued the 9 series pedals, they introduced the 'Master' or 'L' series. In later years, TS9s were assembled with a wide variety of op-amps, instead of the sought-after JRC-4558. The TS9 Tube Screamer is almost the same internally as the TS808 but the TS9 had a different output, which caused the pedal to sound brighter and less smooth. TS9: From 1982 to 1985, Ibanez produced the '9-series' of overdrive pedals. Some units however had the Malaysian RC4558P chip. It was equipped with the Japanese -4558 chip. TS-808/TS808: The first Tube Screamer, the TS808, was released in the late 1970s. The green OD-II had a circuit similar to the TS808 however, the OD and OD-II had a more distorted circuit. There was also a reddish 'Overdrive-II' which had a housing very similar to the TS-808/TS808. These came in narrower boxes without battery covers. Variations The pedal was produced with many variants: The Tube Screamer pedal was preceded by the orange 'Overdrive' (OD) and green 'Overdrive-II' (OD-II). Some guitarists prefer this sort of equalization, as it helps to keep their sound from getting lost in the overall mix of the band. The classic Tube Screamer sound includes a 'mid-hump', which means that the circuit accentuates frequencies between the bass and treble ranges (mid-frequencies). The pedal is used to try to mimic the sound of a vintage tube amplifier. The drive knob adjusts gain, the tone knob adjusts treble and the level knob adjusts the output volume of the pedal. Description The Tube Screamer has a drive knob, a tone knob, and a level knob. ![]()
