Description

Ibanez TS7 TubeScreamer Pedal

This is the new version of the Tube Screamer pedal from Ibanez - the TS7.This latest generation of TubeScreamer pedal has all of the familiar parameters from previous versions plus subtle improvements both technically and sonically. Its housed in the same rugged road-worthy die-cast metal case and provides 3 rotary control knobs on the upper face of the pedal.

These are Drive, Tone and Level and are pretty much self explanatory allowing adjustment of each parameter, once the desired modifications have been made the knobs can be "locked" into position using the Ibanez "Tone-Lok" system so that the settings are not disturbed, moved or altered.

An addition on this generation of TubeScreamer is the "Hot" button that boosts the gain by an extra few db to allow guitar solos to cut through the mix, there is also an LED light that illuminates as a visual indication of when the pedal has been pressed and the effect activated.

So, here's the newly launched TubeScreamer from Ibanez that has been updated and improved if you beleive their marketing blurb. Well, in fact it has been updated with the latest generation of solid state components which will improve the reliability, performance and to a degree the sound.

It has also received the addition of a "Hot" button which appears to simply boost the gain levels by several db's to allow solo sections the benefit of the extra volume. So how does it sound .... well, here we are again back with the subjective opinions that relate to what sounds good and what doesn't. Personally I have never been a fan of this type of single pedal overdrive, historically I have found them too synthetic sounding and too "fizzy".

However, I have to say that this is undoubtedly the best sounding individual pedal distortion unit that I have heard in a very long time. OK, it is still a little synthetic but with the aid of some careful EQ it is possible to get a very usable raunchy distorted guitar sound. Try this new model out at the Nevada Music Warehouse now ...
