Ibanez TS9B

TS9B Bass Tube Screamer.

The TS9B is a Tube Screamer for bassists, with EQ adjusted to better suit that register. With the combination of tone and mix controls, you can dial in a wide variety of sounds. You can get everything from marginal, barely noticeable overdrive to pretty heavy distortion. You can also experiment with the level and push the input of the amplifier harder. The possibilities are endless.

Tube Screamers are pedals that are widely used in all styles of music around the world, by both professionals and amateurs. The Ibanez Tube Screamer series is the benchmark for how overdrive pedals should sound, the world's most copied sound. The pedal works both as a standalone overdrive source or as a boost pedal on an already overdriven sound. On its own, you get from a marginal crackle (almost clean until you cut a little harder) to a moderately overdriven sound with enormous sustain without it being overly distorted or compressed. As a boost pedal, it pushes quite hard if you want it to, and the result is, of course, dependent on what sound you are boosting. Many metal albums are recorded with a TS pedal in front of the amplifier.

Powered by either a 9-volt battery or an external AC adapter (sold separately).
NOTE! Supplied without battery.
