Rated 5 out of 5

Worth Every Penny!!

Sure this is an expensive Tube Screamer. There's lots of Boutique pedals out there we try and hope it has the tone that everyone has been searching for. After trying many pedals over the years my search is over. This TS is just amazing!! Is worth every penny! Adorama had it in stock, many stores don't. These are hand-wired with top notch pots and parts. Built solid as a brick too. If ya want that SRV sound look no further. Does heavier stuff too, when fed through a High level Distortion pedal it will come to life. Actually it works well with all pedals. Try it and fall in LOVE!!
