WARM AUDIO Tube Squealer

Description

The Tube Squealer is a faithful reproduction of three legendary tube overdrives built with 100% high-quality analog circuits and equipped with modern, ready-to-use features. Its three selectable voicings – 808, TS9, and TS10 – switch the circuits to authentically recreate the original Japanese models that shaped guitar sounds from the late 70s to the late 80s. The 808 offers the earliest version of the classic overdrive, the TS9 captures the most widespread and widely recognized version, while the TS10 revives a lesser-known circuit that continues to gain respect among enthusiasts of the genre. These circuits, faithfully recreated in the Tube Squealer, contributed to the creation of some of the most iconic sounds in recent music history, heard on countless records and stages worldwide.Taking the concept of mid-gain and tube amplification even further, the Tube Squealer adds modern flexibility to adapt to any setup. The mix control allows guitarists to blend clean and distorted signals for precise sound shaping, while a pickup voicing selector optimizes the response for single-coils or humbuckers. An external voltage booster instantly increases headroom for more dynamic sounds before saturation kicks in. Internally, the Tube Squealer features JRC4558 op-amps, discrete transistors, and high-quality diodes and JFETs, components chosen to preserve the character and response of the originals. With asymmetrical clipping faithful to its unique topology, the Tube Squealer offers three iconic overdrives in a single pedal, making it a versatile and high-value overdrive.
