For a new generation of players and to celebrate it's storied history, IBANEZ is making a NEW TUBE SCREAMER! smile.gif Not just a reissue, this one FINALLY has a built in boost that can be applied BEFORE or AFTER The primary gain stage via handy toggle switch.

This is the type of handy thing that I've seen on boutique pedals and I'm happy to see ibby making these changes smile.gif The bad news is that it's $250!! So they are pricing it like a boutique pedal as well smile.gif But used they should be much cheaper and I'd like to try one in my signal chain!!

That looks pretty cool (I love green) but for that kind of money I'd opt for a handmade in the USA 'boutique' TS derivative.

For that kind of money, I'd buy another BULB OVERDRIVE smile.gif It seems crazy pricey doesn't it?

It does but Ibanez a few years ago came out with a 'handwired' 808 that was $350.00 (by the way, a TS was never hand wired, lol!) and Maxon - the actual co. that manufactures Ibanez fx - has many pedals that top $200.

*If that dual screamer makes it down to the hundred dollar range I'd get one just for the color.

How cool would that be? You could just reach and grab what you need and put it back in the display when done smile.gif Hmmm... I can imagine a ProTone display as well and maybe an OCD and Electro Harmonix display smile.gif Egad I'd turn my living room in to a Guitar Center!

I've gone through tons of crunch/distortion pedals over the years. My favorite has to be the ocd pedal. Simple crunch, but gets just heavy enough to play some heavy stuff, but not too over saturated at the same time. And it won't drain the piggy bank

I have stayed with my Suhr Shiba Drive for about 3 years now and I can say it does the thing for me smile.gif Haven't tried the OCD tho, but I heard a lot of folks praising it, so I'll definitely give it a go. I recently received a VOX AC15 and I am curious about the differences felt with various types of boost/od pedals on the amp - it only has a clean channel so it's not too difficult.

Wow, how very 'vintage toned' of you wink.gif
Great amp. They tend to favor the more mid-range flavored OD and gain pedals - i.e., a tube screamer type. Vox amps can be pretty bright when you don't crank them. Guys who crank them tend to favor treble boosters or something like an MXR micro-amp because as a Vox style amp gets louder it tends to get a little darker.
Plus - in my experience - because the AC15 is a lower powered (though fairly loud) EL84 amp - you don't have to hit it with too much gain to get it to roar.

TS, Rat, OCD, Xotic BB, Xotic AC and Crowther 'hotcake' are all popular ODs to use with Voxes. They all have that mid-range bump.

Thank you good sir biggrin.gif I heard a lot about the BB Preamp and I heard it in that famous Andy Timmons review on the Mesa Boogie and I thought it sounded fantastic. I will most probably call some friends and get an MXR Zakk Wylde and that green OD from MXR as well to see how those feel, as they are the closest I can put my hands on smile.gif

Oddly, and even Xotic says this, but neither ch. of the Dual BB+ sounds exactly like the standard BB single ch. pedal. I can verify that as I have a standard issue BB (non-Timmons) and a buddy of mine has the dual ch. We can't get ours to sound alike. Both great but slightly different.

Imagine I had the K7 from Ibanez - it had ONE volume button biggrin.gif enough for this old boy'o here! Ken and Todd, which od/booster would you choose if you would have to pick a favorite?

I couldn't pick a favorite.
I have a few different guitar/amp combinations that require different ODs.
What sounds great with a Tele or Strat (single coils) is usually too gained out for an LP (humbucker).

In relation to another thread ... some may rightly feel that overall quality in guitar building has declined but man if you're into FX boxes - this era is your nirvana!

*If someone held a gun to my head and said. I'm stealing all your overdrives but you can keep one. I'd probably keep my Fulldrive III.
