Owner Insights

Features and functionality

  • The Persian Green Screamer's "modern" mode offers no bass cut, minimal mid hump, and touch sensitivity, providing low to medium gain ideal for a clean amp setup.

    Source
  • The pedal's ability to act as both a screamer and a volume boost makes it versatile for different song parts, effectively cutting through mixes without excessive gain.

    Source
  • Users looking for more punchy attack tones often gravitate towards pedals like the EQD Plumes or Way Huge Green Rhino, which offer more aggressive options compared to the Persian Green Screamer.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Perfect for achieving an edge-of-breakup sound when paired with a clean Fender Hot Rod Deluxe iii amp, especially when pushed with a JHS Colourbox for added gain.

    Source
  • The Persian Green Screamer is used primarily as a volume boost rather than for gain, allowing solos to cut through band mixes with its mid EQ emphasis.

    Source
  • The Persian Green Screamer is suggested for players seeking a punchy attack with reduced mid-range, particularly useful for those transitioning from traditional Tube Screamers.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Unlike traditional Tube Screamers, the Persian Green Screamer's modern mode is preferred by those who dislike the typical bass cut and emphasized mid-range of standard models.

    Source
  • Persian Green Screamer is preferred over the TS Mini for its ability to achieve lower gain levels, providing a smoother sound for solos with minimal distortion.

    Source
  • The Fulldrive 2 is noted for being a Tube Screamer type overdrive with less mid-range emphasis, but can feel "squishy" compared to other models like the EQD Plumes.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners appreciate the mini size for fitting on crowded pedalboards, allowing space for additional pedals like the TC Polytune 2 mini tuner.

    Source
  • Users report that the Persian Green Screamer is smoother at low settings compared to the TS Mini, which can sound less refined at similar gain levels.

    Source
  • It's been recommended that players who are exploring Tube Screamers for the first time try a variety of models, like the JHS Bonsai, to find their preferred tonal characteristics.

    Source

Build quality

  • The pedal is noted for its excellent build quality and design by Bjorn from BJFE/Mad Professor, known for crafting respected circuits in the industry.

    Source

Great TS808 clone.

This replaced my BBE Green Screamer and I love it. It can act as a classic TS808 pedal or a transparent modern OD. The toggle switch is a little hard to access since it's on the inside of the side of the pedal. Overall, great stuff but I might switch to a Maxon 808.
