Pretty good overdrive

You would mainly ever want to use a tube screamer if in the rock category, but can be used for solid leads in heavy and thrash metal. Creates a nice tone and works well with most distortion pedals (Like the Pro Co Rat 1/2/FATRAT)

Best overdrive pedal EVER

I am a casual guitarist, who is trying to grow his collection of gear, so I got into pedals. I tested it out used at my local guitar center and I brought it home with me. Upon playing, I noticed that it is very versatile, and has great tone. It has good material quality, and sound quality as well. It ranges from a light overdrive, to metal overdrive for Metallica or Megadeth. It sounds exactly like a TS9, but with 3 other modes. The other modes seem to provide a deeper, and warmer tone, as well as give higher output levels. The dials are slightly harder to move than some of my other pedals, but that doesn't matter much, as I don't need to change the settings often. When playing barefoot, it isn't uncomfortable or a hassle to press.

I can't say there's really anything special about it, but it gets the job done

It's an overdrive.... It's got mids.... It does what you need it to do. Ohh and it sucks tone when it's off

love the sound

this is the 1st pedal i bought it was an awesome pedal the first time i plugged it,it was a awesome time i played all my favorite songs and it sound exactly i want to listen to i was supposed to buy this in 2017 in france but they dont even have it there but i let a relative of mine buy it for me but i thought she'll send it to me via mail but she gave it to me when i went on vacation cause she supprise us by joining on that vacation.

Fat bass boost for usually mid heavy pedal...

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.

Overdrive Plus

By far the best OD pedal I have used. From the traditional soft clips of the TS9 to the hard Turbo mode, this Tube Screamer will get you your desired tone. Pair it with a GE-7 to control the frequencies and you will achieve every od tone ever imagined.

It's a tube screamer

It's a tube screamer with a few more settings that blow out the low end and can get a nice fuzzy sound when stacked with another dirt pedal. I find it works best as a boost to a dirty tone, I'm not fond of the way it affects my clean signal. The various modes really don't add much gain so much as they fuzz out the low end I think.

Best distortion ever period.

Overall, this pedal is great and no one would regret it. Its cheap enough for the wanna be's and has enough quality for the pros. It sounds good and reacts well. Overall, i would reccomend this to anyone. I rate this pedal a 9 because everything on this pedal is great.The different modes are distinct and give different sounds and the controls are great.

Sure it is a good pedal, but don't have the same sound as ts-9

Don't have it anymore: Think that the turbo function just add a bass to the sound, and the same settings side by side with ts-9 sound a bit diferent. Sure it is a good pedal, but to my ears, ts-9 is different and it is better.
