The two channels are set up differently, one is definitely a "clean" channel and the other is definitely a "drive" channel. The drive channel is 4 gainstages (like Sunnday Drive with the boost on, Black Eye, etc) and the clean channel is 2 gainstages (like all the single tube preamps).
Tube versions of solid state things always seem like a good idea in theory, but it ends up with something that either sounds nothing like the original device or it sounds worse than a tube device not based on anything. I've tried it a couple times.
Made it, it was called Glass Clover. It was okay for a tubescreamer, but nothing special for a tube overdrive.
I'm not a huge fan of the tube screamer at all. I always found the lack of tube to be ... Ironic.
Well I believe it was meant to go into a tube amp and drive the tubes to their limit...or make them 'scream'!
Allow me to correct you @mmbongo the Ibanez Tube Screamer was intended to mimic the sound of a driven tube circuit, most of the guitar amps of the 80s were solid state and getting that elusive tube sound was the thing. Overdrive pedals were already old hat and the TS was the next big thing. See the attached ad.
Thoughts? Artwork by the same artist that did Fluffy Kitten (which I promise will get a demo soon).
You’re right. It’s a picture of shrimp nigiri. Still awesome.
I've been told sashimi can be had with rice, but that the picture is in fact nigiri. I wasn't really thinking about the sashimi/sushi difference and just told the artist to do something sushi-related. He followed my directions
it looks really good, is what I meant to say; just had to be That Guy. The color scheme is great.
Was about to reply with 'sashimi doesn't come served with rice like that' but saw others had already stated the same. I personally don't like the added rice, the way the shrimp is drawn, the "Japanese-style" writing or the rising sun image. Probably just me, but you did ask for thoughts so there you go.
It’s cringey and crosses into cultural appropriation to me. I personally wouldn’t want it on my board
Reminds me a bit of Arianna Grande's "small charcoal grill' tattoo.
Ariana Grande mocked for Japanese tattoo typo: ‘Leave me and my grill alone’
Goes for pretty much everything in my book
