At Ibanez, we sought to take the iconic Tube Screamer and push it further with a re-envisioning of the flagship, hand-wired model. We evaluated every component, while aiming to stay true to the pedal’s transparent and mid-range-focused tone. After numerous prototypes, we concluded the JRC NJM4558 op-amp was essential to achieve the Tube Screamer’s legendary sound. At the same time, this new design is capable of a wider range of sounds thanks to the addition of high-end components such as MOGAMI OFC cables, which further enhance the benefits of a hand-wired pedal. Additionally, a boost has been added to the final stage of the circuit, increasing the maximum output level by +6dB. Its look has also been revamped, giving it a high-end appearance while retaining the traditional shape.
