Effects pedal · Japan
The Tube Screamer is Ibanez's classic overdrive pedal line, introduced in 1979 with the TS808 and designed by engineer Susumu Tamura to emulate an overdriven tube amp. Its op-amp circuit with symmetrical diode clipping in the feedback path produces a warm, mid-boosted, amp-like overdrive. The Tube Screamer became one of the most influential and widely copied effects in guitar history and spans models including the TS808, TS9, and TS Mini.
