This pedal suitable for giving an extra kick to the overdriven tone. With this one, just kick it on and simply takes you from rhythm/lead tone to solo tone and help you standing out to the front of the mix.
This is a pedal that gives the feel of the original tube screamer from 80's, I haven't played any original made in Japan tube screamer, however I think this on matches over 90% of the description from those who have experience with the original one, especially the mid range boost that adds a lot warmth to the tone and makes you stand out from the crowd.
The left side of this pedal is call angry-Charlie which is more or less similar to the crunch box by MI Audio, however, the gain knob and tone knob feels quite different for me, with a wider range of gain and brightness, what you can expect is going through a Super Lead, Plexi kind of mid-gain amp to JCM800, the legendary hard rock tone.
I personally use the 808 circuit on right side to give an extra kick to the angry-charlie for soloing, adding a bit more drive and compression, thats all I need for my band Yaushis.
This amp is an all valve amp with EL34s at power amp section which is my personal favourite. With the tube screamer circuit, you can achieve sweet bluesy overdrive tone easily, combine it with a post-boost function, soloing is not a problem as well. I run directly to it from a Les Paul and add a reverb pedal to make the tone wet, perfect from pop, blues, jazz to rock.
For this one I have changed those machine heads to Kulson style tuners, tone pros bridge and tailpiece which improves and time and quality of sustain. 57 Classic and 57 Classic Plus pickups are working nicely on this guitar especially the neck pickup, so much warmth and harmonics.
