Some info about the original:
The Tube Screamer might be the most popular and famous overdrive pedal
ever made. Made popular by SRV and countless others, the TS-808 (and its
derivatives) have become legendary. When we designed the Plush® Cream™,
we sought to produce a pedal with the 3-knob simplicity of this classic
pedal, while refining the overall design to modern boutique standards.
In addition to the selected Integrated circuit, we carefully chose each
resistor and capacitor to voice the Cream™ to be quiet, smooth yet
articulate, and dynamic. It responds well to both picking strength and
guitar volume, and, best of all, it feels like a tube amp. The gain
control takes you from a mild edge to the hardest scream. The tone
control takes you from a warm “woman tone” to a screaming lead tone with
just the right amount of sparkle. Choose your tone, then set your level
with the output control and rock on!
