The ubiquity of Tube Screamers has been well documented on this site, I’m not sure we need another. While this is more of a hybrid really, significantly refining the mid-hump, smoothing out the clipping profile, and delivering a tonne more volume for starters!
This is a more refined Screamer - one in silk slippers I suppose, and one which supposedly sits better in the mix, and delivers a more pleasing output.
I’m not necessarily a fan of the 1590BB landscape enclosure - but I can understand why Nick decided to roll it out this way - making it carry hints of its source inspirations, but in an evolved format - with the controls on the side rather than along the top as is customary!
My pedalboard practical side gets a little irked by the artifice, but it makes sense conceptually - and so I can’t really grumble. Quite an elegant remit really - as I’ve hopefully characterised adequately in the visual!
Controls - Level, Tone, Overdrive.
These are $249 from the Greer Amps Store - when available. The first batch is already sold out direct from Greer, but there should be some available at dealers, and more on there way real soon.
It’s quite a cute project really. I will probably arrange it vertically if I decide to go for this. I’ve long advocated pedalboard-friendly pedals - and the width dimension is the most sensitive here!
It’s quite a cute pedal really though - that almost lime green enclosure with the classic oxblood Klon knobs!
Some will love this for sure - in fact as shown by how quickly the first batch sold through!
