Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini Guitar Effect Pedal

I picked up the TS Mini a week ago and added it to my small pedal board that already includes the MXR CBAMOD. My set up includes humbuckers and a Marshall Class 5 amp. This is my first Ibanez TS product. Thumbs up to a great new product in the TS Mini. Great, familiar, classic rock tone! Nice to have two great ODs on my board, both with unique qualities. The TS Mini is a keeper and the price is relatively inexpensive.

I use the Screamer at clubs and at home. Just the right amount of dirt when you need it. Great for rock, blues, R&B and just jammin.

So I'm a total amatuer guitarist and this is the first effect pedal I've owned. I love it! The sound quality is very pleasing. Despite being very small, which I like, it has quite a bit weight to it to keep it from sliding around when the cable pulls on it. I will note that this does not include the AC power adapter so make sure you purchase one separately. It doesn't offer a wide range of sounds but overall very nice. I would totally recommend to a friend.

I collect Tube Screamers, and decided to get this for the collection. Soundwise, it works as a TS808; great transparent overdrive for stand-alone use but excels at boosting gain on an overdriven amp. Not as harsh or "dark" as a TS9, and a decent price. Definitely a TS to consider if you're trying to save some money; you definitely won't be missing out on the sound of the TS808. Also great if you want to add a Tube Screamer to a board, but need to save space. The only negative I can say is the Level and Tone knobs are difficult to see for settings, but that's true with most mini pedals. It doesn't take a battery, but there again, neither do most mini pedals. Construction is more solid than the Mooer Green Mile, and the TSMini is made in Japan (thought for sure it was Chinese). The price is great on these, but I'd also consider checking out the East River Overdrive by EHX; my current favorite Tube Screamer clone. As far as the Ibanez Tube Screamer line-up, this is seemingly the best value.

I made the mistake of buying a lot of other overdrive and distortion boxes over the years before finally buying a tube screamer. I really don't know why its taken this long... big mistake. Those other pedals are all gone (sold and/or swapped). I expect this to stay on my board permanently.

I got the mini tube screamer it sounds great. This pedal should be in everyone's electric guitar Arsenal.

Perfect for adding a little punch or grit to your leads. Also perfect for giving your distortion some crispness. I love that this mini pedal hardly takes up any space on my pedal board!

The size and sound of this pedal are great. The pedal can be used on its own or in conjunction with other pedals for added boost and tone shaping. I really love the tone shaping knob on this mini pedal. You can drop it down for a fatter punchier sound which is great for chugging riffs, or dial it up to help cut thru the mix and get your sound screaming.

It definitely has that classic rock sound, British type tone. Feels warm, but will get hissy with the drive past 75%. It's a great alternative to my brighter distortion pedal. With both pedals activated, I can get almost a Santana lead sound. Great for some juicy solos! Even thought it's small, the density and weithtr is there! Compact size and price a definite plus!

lukewarm on this pedal....not a big fan.....i feel the tone is on the harsh side...i like a warmer tone....i never owned any type of tubescreamer until this pedal...i do not get the hype...most likely i will return the pedal...the search for my elusive tone continues....i will probably go back to the Fulltone OCD.

AWWWWWW YYYEEEEAAHHH!!!

Honestly I could not tell the difference between the mini, the standard, and the vintage reissue, at least not enough to sway me a different direction. I got a pretty loaded board, so the tiny size makes it a winner for me. Buy this and start melting faces ASAP.

What can I say its a Tube Screamer and that means its one of the best overdrives on the market. Works great in all situations where overdrive is needed. If you need an overdrive this is a great place to start, THE END!

Pretty happy with this unit. I got the screamer to provide a sound quality with the depth and warmth of a tube amp on a 40 w Champion. I use a Champion 40 for small indoor venues and had an irritating problem with "booming" when playing leads in lower registers. I found this little pedal smoothed the sound out perfectly in leads transitioning from highs to lows and can now just play without having to back off on the attack when playing the lower strings. I gave this a nit for having to use an adapter only because I had to put something in there...there is another model that takes a battery.

I actually traded in a 200$ pedal to buy this thing. It has some monster tone and is a great little boost pedal. Worth well over $80 in my eyes. I would complain about the hiss and buzz it gets, however; I have a cheapo $30 noise suppressor that handles it with ease. 10/10 would recommend to a novice player or even a fairly seasoned musician like myself.

Love this pedal ! Pure, clear tone. Made my Strat sing !

Comments about Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini Guitar Effect Pedal:

This pedal is perfect for giving my tele just a bit more grit. Nothing overkill, just that little bit more that I was looking for. If I dial back the gain and run it in front of my other, heavier distortion pedals, it gives them a nice boost as well.

I use his at home, it suits my needs well.

I was looking for a pedal to add some color and boost the volume for my solos. This does the job. I really like the sound.
