Warm Audio
Description

The Guitar Center-exclusive Warm Audio WA-TS Tube Squealer dual overdrive effects pedal is an all-analog beast that packs three classic circuits into one compact, no-compromise design. With genuine JRC4558 op-amps and premium components under the hood, it delivers rich, tube-like saturation and soft-clipping warmth that hits every nuance of your playing. Whether you're dialing in subtle grit or unleashing full-throttle tone, the WA-TS stands ready to shape your sound with mix control, pickup voicing and headroom tailoring features pros dream of.

Three Legendary Overdrives, One Breakthrough Pedal

Why settle for one tone when you can have the best of three? The WA-TS lets you toggle between spot-on recreations of the 808, TS9 and TS10—each with its own distinct flavor. From the smooth, singing breakup of the 808 to the punchy edge of the TS9 and the slightly transparent sparkle of the TS10, you get instant access to tones made famous by legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Mayer. No modeling here—just real, analog tone that lives and breathes under your feet.

Pro-Level Controls That Go Beyond Vintage

This isn’t your average reissue. The WA-TS adds modern features that make it a true standout. Shape your drive with precision using level, tone and gain knobs, then fine-tune with a mix control that blends your clean and dirty signal. The pickup voicing switch optimizes the response for single-coils or humbuckers, while the external voltage boost expands headroom for louder, punchier tones without early breakup. Whether you’re after tight rhythm tone or open solo sustain, it adapts seamlessly to your rig.

Bypass Options Built for Real Pedalboards

Choose between true bypass or buffered bypass depending on your setup—no tone suck, no compromises. Standard 1/4" I/O and a compact footprint make it pedalboard-ready, while the top-mounted mix and voicing controls stay easy to access in the heat of a gig. The WA-TS fits any workflow, whether you're tweaking your tone mid-set or dialing it in in the studio. No menus, no fuss—just real-time control where it counts.

Hand-Tested Quality You Can Feel

Every WA-TS is hand-tested in Austin, Texas, and built with no shortcuts. From the rugged enclosure to the vintage-spec components, this pedal is built for tone, reliability and serious road use. At just 1 lb., it's lightweight but ready to take a beating, gig after gig. With Warm Audio’s 5-year warranty behind it, you can trust the WA-TS to bring your tone to life, show after show.

The Exclusive Overdrive You’ve Been Waiting for

From clean-boost magic to saturated lead tones, the Warm Audio WA-TS Tube Squealer does it all with unmatched versatility and pure analog tone. And as a Guitar Center U.S. exclusive, this pedal is more than a reissue—it’s a new standard for serious players chasing the perfect overdrive. It’s time to elevate your board with a pedal that doesn’t just honor the classics—it redefines them.

  • Most Versatile Overdrive I've Ever Played

    I wanted to replace my TS9 with an overdrive that had a clean mix or parallel circuit. This has both plus and 808 and a TS10 and a mid scoop switch. Between the three models it could do anything, but I find it excels at blues, classic rock, and Green Day "Dookie" type tones that used to take running two amps together. Dial in your best Edge of Break Up amp sound, pick your favorite model and crank it until the gain feels right. Then blend the clean tone back in for clarity and punch. You'll never want another overdrive again.

    Has so many different tone options and tweakable settings that you can find pretty much any sound you could possibly want out of a tube screamer. Its basically 3 pedals packed into 1 box, everything Warm Audio make is awesome

    Everybody knows what a tube screamer sounds like. The 808, 9, and 10 have slight differences, but I find one mode will suit certain guitars better than others. The real versatility is in the blend and the mid shift. Now you have a soft clipper that can do most anything. I don't need any other overdrive really.

    Added to my array of hand picked top shelf overdrives that has marvelous features. Not only chip/component matched circuits of 808,TS9 and TS10 but voltage doubler, bypass/buffer, and dry blend. Also very cool humbucker demud switch. If there is a better TS pedal I would have no idea how it would match let alone out do this puppy. Warm Audio smacks it out of the park with this one. Add this to my Throne of Tone Bluesbreaker rendering and there is any overdrive one might need.

    Its GREEN! The best tube screamer out there not only because it's three in one, but you get the ability to MIX your flavor. The mix knob alone is worth buying it to give a try and figure if it its for you.

  • Killer pedal

    Great pedal. Replaced my TS808 pedal on my board and it's staying on the board. Nice options that are on many other OD pedals. 9/18 volt switch for internal voltage change, top mount jacks, buffer or true bypass. I even like the 808 mode better than my actual 808.
