Tube Screamer US$ 11.00

Comments

Build either the TS-9 or the TS-808 used by Stevie Ray Vaughan, and about a bazillion other people.

This is quite likely the most misnamed pedal in the history of guitar effects. It really is more of an overdrive than a distortion, it has no tubes, and it doesn't scream. It sounds great feeding the input of a tube amp though.

Current draw ~4.8mA (no LED)
