Ibanez Ts9 Tube Screamer Serial Number

It can be happy and winsome or empty and sad — depending largely on the faith and grace of the person involved. At the same time, old age can also be an opportunity for making new friends, developing new interests, discovering fresh ways of service, spending more time in fellowship with God.

Contents • • • • • • • Description [ ] The Tube Screamer has a drive knob, a tone knob, and a level knob. The drive knob adjusts gain, the tone knob adjusts treble and the level knob adjusts the output volume of the pedal.

The pedal is used to try to mimic the sound of a vintage tube amplifier. The classic Tube Screamer sound includes a 'mid-hump', which means that the circuit accentuates frequencies between the bass and treble ranges (mid-frequencies). Some guitarists prefer this sort of equalization, as it helps to keep their sound from getting lost in the overall mix of the band. Variations [ ] The pedal was produced with many variants: The Tube Screamer pedal was preceded by the orange 'Overdrive' (OD) and green 'Overdrive-II' (OD-II). These came in narrower boxes without battery covers. There was also a reddish 'Overdrive-II' which had a housing very similar to the TS-808/TS808. The green OD-II had a circuit similar to the TS808; however, the OD and OD-II had a more distorted circuit.

• TS-808/TS808: The first Tube Screamer, the TS808, was released in the late 1970s. It was equipped with the Japanese -4558 chip. Some units however had the Malaysian RC4558P chip. • TS9: From 1982 to 1985, Ibanez produced the '9-series' of overdrive pedals. The TS9 Tube Screamer is almost the same internally as the TS808 but the TS9 had a different output, which caused the pedal to sound brighter and less smooth. In later years, TS9s were assembled with a wide variety of op-amps, instead of the sought-after JRC-4558. Once Ibanez discontinued the 9 series pedals, they introduced the 'Master' or 'L' series.

These were only made in 1985, and did not have the Tube Screamer in the line-up. A rare and valuable version of the Tube Screamer was the ST9 Super Tube Screamer, which was sold only in Europe and Australia. [ ] • TS10: In 1986, Ibanez began production of the 'Power Series', which included the TS10 Tube Screamer. The TS10 had three times as many changes to the circuit than the TS9 had had.

Some TS10 pedals were made in Taiwan, using a MC4558 chip. All TS10s (as well as other L and 10-series pedals) used floating jacks and pots, which were mounted to the boards instead of the cases.

This is weak point in the design sometimes causing the jacks to break off. [ ] • TS5: The plastic TS5 'Soundtank' followed the TS10 and was available until 1999.

The TS5 circuit is very similar to the TS9; however, it was made for Ibanez in Taiwan by Daphon. The first year of production had a metal casing, afterwards the casing was made out of plastic (which resulted in more noise than a typical TS808/TS9 box made out of metal). However, these plastic versions still have a shielded and grounded metal bottom plate for a slight interference reduction plus the needed weight to keep the pedal from sliding because of its light weight. • TS7: The TS7 ' pedal was released in 1999. It was made in Taiwan like the TS5, but in an aluminum case that was more durable.

The circuit inside had a 'hot' mode switch for extra distortion and volume. Most TS7 pedals came with the JRC4558D chip, like the TS808 and TS9. • TS808HW: In early 2016, Ibanez revealed the TS808HW. Marketed as a premium, limited edition pedal, TS808HW is hand-wired with select JRC4558D chips and uses high-end OFC cables from Japan.

HW is encased in a dark green, heavy duty metal box. It also comes standard with True Bypass, a feature many had to mod into the circuits of previous Tube Screamers.

The TS9 and TS808 pedals have been reissued, and according to the company, feature the same circuitry, electronics and design components that helped shape the famous Tube Screamer sound.

Some musicians have a technician perform modifications to the unit to change the sound to their liking. Also,, who produced the original Tube Screamer pedals for the Ibanez brand in the 1970s–1980s, produce their own version of the Tube Screamer (called Overdrives: the OD-808 and OD-9 as opposed to Tube Screamer, TS).

• TS9B: Released around 2011, it was designed for bass player, in a dark green stompbox with 5 knobs: Drive, Mix, Bass, Treble and Level controls. The Mix and 2-band Eq. Controls allow bassists to produce the sound they want while still maintaining the feel of the original Tubescreamer and keep their low-end original signal. According to Susumu Tamura ( 田村進) of Maxon, the designer of the Tube Screamer, the initial design concept was to create something to compete with OD-1 and Distortion+. In doing so, he used an innovative circuit, using the monolithic device, introduced in early 70s, to create a pedal sound different from the 'discrete' transistorized 60's fuzzes. The overdrive is produced using two silicon in anti-parallel arrangement into the negative circuit of a ('op-amp') circuit, to produce soft, symmetrical distortion of the input waveform.
