Took the plunge on a Bass Tube Screamer...

Sign in to disble this ad
Didn't know if anybody here has/tried out one.

Should be here in 3-5 days.

Excited to try it out, although I generally don't care for scroob teamers.

I'll update this thread as soon as the pedal gets here.

Subscribed. I love the tube screamer. I'm curious to hear if they improve upon it or ruin it.

With all the "boutique" bass tubescreamers on the market, it's amazing that it took Ibanez this long to go there. And even more amazing that Maxon didn't go there first!

Dying to know your opinion. Let us know what you think about it after you've had time to play with it.

Oh boy oh boy....how many products can we tack the tube screamer name on..so people will keep buying them......

Well its a opamp with clipping diodes...so it sounds like 10 billion other distortion pedals....

overall basic EQ's and filter choices make the difference between guitar and bass distortion...otherwise its just the same old diode clip sound......whistle whistle fizz fizz

not much different than all the EH, boss,digitech,etc etc bass pedals that just use a different eq and some sort of drive/ clean mix function....for bass

Really just save your money and get a ibanez PD7 they are dirt cheap. and have the same old tone control as the lube reamer bass.....and have two switches which control some extra filters and the clean mix.....the clean mix preset on the PD7 will be the same level that almost everyone will set the tube screamer clean knob to.

PD7 29 bucks brand new

Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive has been doing this for years.
It's a Tube Screamer clone with a clean blend.
Keeley makes a great mod for these as well.
