Overview
A pedalboard or practice rig can take this Ibanez reissue of the original TS9 Tube Screamer. The description says it uses the same components, housing and seasick-green paint as the earlier models, built in the same factory. It adds overdrive or distortion to an incoming guitar signal.
The reason to buy is authenticity: a reissue of one of the most imitated overdrive pedals, with matching parts. The limit is that only the pedal is included, and the listing does not name an adapter or a warranty.
Who it's for
Players who want the classic mid-focused drive in front of an amp will recognize the design. Anyone wanting high-gain distortion or several tones in one box should look at other pedals.

Performance notes
