Ibanez Nu Tube Screamer Pedal for Musicians

The Ibanez Nu Tubescreamer Overdrive Pedal, designed for electric guitar enthusiasts, showcases an advanced Nutube vacuum tube and a variety of controls, including Mix, Drive, Tone, and Level. Building on the legacy of one of the most popular overdrive pedals ever, this device offers versatility that surpasses its predecessor.

Equipped with Nutube circuitry, the Nu Tubescreamer provides remarkable dynamics, outstanding sensitivity, and a tube-like compression, especially when played aggressively. Just like the original Tubescreamer, it works exceptionally well as a clean boost, perfect for driving a tube amplifier that's on the brink of breaking up.

One of the most exciting features of this pedal is its Nutube technology, which allows for the rich harmonic complexity characteristic of tube distortion, all within a compact and energy-efficient design. The inclusion of a genuine vacuum tube is what gives the Nu Tubescreamer its amp-like responsiveness, allowing guitarists to explore a wide gain range influenced by their picking dynamics, while experiencing the authentic tube compression that engages when the player digs into the strings.

The addition of a mix control enhances the sonic versatility of the Nu Tubescreamer significantly. As many guitarists at Sweetwater have noticed, this feature allows users to effectively blend their dry sound with the overdriven tone, a capability that becomes particularly beneficial during lead performances for cutting through the mix. By setting the mix control to its fully counter-clockwise position, players can utilize the Nu Tubescreamer as a clean boost, pushing their amplifier's front end harder for a powerful sound.

For players seeking additional headroom and gain, the Ibanez Nu Tubescreamer can be powered not only by a standard 9V battery or power supply (which is sold separately) but also with an 18V power supply. This flexibility enables even greater performance capabilities, expanding the tonal range available.

Key controls include Drive, Tone, Level, and Mix, allowing players to fine-tune their sound to perfection.

Specifications for the Ibanez Nu Tubescreamer are as follows: it can be powered with a DC 9-18V (Negative Center) or a single 006P 9V battery (not included) and requires a current draw of 50mA at 9V or 60mA at 18V. The development of this pedal involved collaboration with KORG Nutube, further ensuring its quality.

With 100% analog circuitry, guitarists can trust that the Nu Tubescreamer will deliver the warm, rich tones synonymous with tube-based amplification, making it a valuable addition to any guitarist's pedalboard. Overall, the Ibanez Nu Tubescreamer redefines what an overdrive pedal can do, blending classic warmth with modern flexibility, ensuring it stands out in any performance setting.
