I imagined the Screaming Bird to sound like ... well, a screaming bird I guess. And in some way, that must be true, since my ears really ended up hurting after using it on a distorted signal. There is simply NO way to get a pleasant sound out of that thing. Either, it boosts your treble so heavily that it sounds like you're using a 2" speaker in a cardboard cabinet, or it distorts your signal, which can give it some kind of Rory Gallagher-like tone, but hell, there's so many better ways to achieve it than by using the Screaming Bird ... it's fun to use if you want to emulate "real" 60s and 70s combo amplifier sounds, think early The Who or The Kinks, but besides that ... it belongs in the bin, in my opinion.
