Tube Screamer options

Re: Tube Screamer options

I want to buy another screamer just to buy one. But which one?

JHS Pedals makes a TS called the bonzai.

Basically, you can switch between all the different types of tube screamers. Kinda covers all your bases - it's all of them.

The East River Drive is cool, but I prefer the TC Electronic Mocambo as far as cheap 808 clones go. I've played them both side by side. Really similar, but the Mocambo has more output volume in case you need it.
 
Re: Tube Screamer options

Surprised nobody has mentioned the Way Huge Green Rhino. I have the MkIV version. It has a 100hz and 500hz controls to cut/boost bass and mids, but there's switch to turn those off and get your standard TS sound. It might have a little more gain too.

JHS is FAIL without enough tone knobs, hot switches etc.

great idea....but not quite.
 
Re: Tube Screamer options

Just the single tone knob won't do. It is hard to move it to different guitars and amps that way as there isn't enough compensation.

what makes all of those alternate Screamers alternate are knobs and switches etc...

And yeah, out-effing-rageous price too.

If JHS knew exactly what everyone wanted from each that would be one thing. But they must have basically made a gain variation on 8 different screamers. One screamer with a super wide gain range works for that. Must be half a dozen or more pedals that do that and more, two from Ibanez!

I don't own the JHS pedal, nor do I have any first hand experience with it. But when demoed side by side with originals it doesn't sound like what you're describing from what I can hear:
