A classic Overdrive gets refined for the 21st century.Â
The Nutube Tubescreamer is basically a standard TS808 with inverted colours and the addition of the tiny, vacuum Nutube. It sounds organic and amp-like, offering exceptional dynamics. Like you’d expect it from a Tubescreamer, it tightens up the bottom end with a pleasant amount of compression. Besides the initial set of controls, they’ve added a Mix knob to go from clean (CL) to overdrive (OD). Â This is a well-thought-out addition to the pedal since most players use the Tubescreamer either as a Clean or as a solo boost. This Mix knob enables you to further shape the character of the pedal to your specific use.
The NTS has relay true-bypass switching, is all-analog and can be powered with a 9-volt battery or a 9-18 volts power supply where 18 volts deliver more headroom and gain.
