If you can find one of these, pick it up. Two distinct phenomenal uses. 1st: Stock- as a recording amp- the versatility of sound is pretty wide, sparkling cleans, to full on grit, depending on your pick-ups. If close mic'd, it will not sound small in the mix. 2nd: with a 2x12 or 4x10 -4ohm speaker cab. it needs to be 4 ohms, but if you comply, when dimed it is l oud enough to play with a full rock band. Not as much headroom as a 40watt-plus amp, but just as loud. Insane really.

I have owned a Ts 808, ts9, and now only this pedal. Tube Screamers are known for a mid punch that rounds out a Fender style amp, or complements a mid heavy Marshall style quite well, pushing it into crunch heaven. My rig is a Fender HRD, clean and loud, and pedals in front for dirt. First usually an EP boost, but not needed with this pedal. There are four settings to adjust, one is straight ts9 sound, weak and thin- but in position two on the dial- BAM! Bass boost heaven!. Fat as anything on the board. Fantastic for Fender or Clean amps, and single coils. Ridiculously bass boosty.
