View Full DescriptionThe Holy Grail of tube screamers
Legendary. This is a word that gets thrown about a lot within the music industry. However, when describing the TS9 as legendary, you can be certain that it's a title that's entirely deserved. This is a pedal so unique and powerful in its sound, that it's been heard in the music of some of rock 'n' roll's finest.
Since the fuzz overdrive effect first became popular in the 1960s, on songs such as The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" and The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", it's become a mainstay in the rock music world. Jimi Hendrix famously shaped his distinctive guitar sound using the effect. However, many overdrive pedals that existed caused a loss in clarity, often ruining the amazing sound of the effect.
That was until Ibanez released their first tube screamer pedal in the 1970s. They retained all of the warm growl synonymous with overdrive, but with added brightness and precision. The results were staggering. Noel Gallagher's crunching, exhilarating early Oasis sound? Thanks to a Tube Screamer. Carlos Santana's extraordinary soloing? Helped along by a Tube Screamer. U2's powerful, gigantic guitar tones? Courtesy of The Edge and his Tube Screamer. This is overdrive of matchless pedigree. The best.
Intuitive and easy to use
Supreme simplicity. The last thing you want in an effects pedal is an interface that's difficult to use. The Ibanez TS9 Gold is the opposite of this. Its straightforward controls mean you can dial in your perfect overdriven sound quickly and easily. This is ideal for altering or tweaking your sound during live performance, as you can speedily locate the exact tones you're looking for in between songs.
The TS9 is equipped with three controls that allow the user to shape the classic tube overdrive effect to suit their own individual style. Apply as much or as little distortion as you like with the 'Drive' control. Make your overdrive bitingly sharp or warm and mellow with the 'Tone' dial. 'Level' controls the overall mix of the overdriven and unaffected signals. You'll find the sound you're looking for with ease thanks to the TS9.
Stunning, eye-catching design
Pedals aren't usually made to look this beautiful. However, this limited edition TS9 Gold is a work of art. Ibanez have been able to bring their iconic Tube Screamer sound into a magnificent aesthetic model. The unit, with a gold finish, will shine, glint, and sparkle upon your pedalboard. The perfect image for a pedal that's certain to be the pride of your collection.
