Tubescreamer pedals are sought after for their low shelf and mid-hump EQ profile, which really helps a screaming valve amp cut through a band mix as well as tightening up the low end for a tight response.
The Ibanez TS808 (Maxon OD-808 in Japan) was the original Tubescreamer, using symmetrical clipping for its distinctive smooth overdriven sound. Today there are many clones and copies of the famous green overdrive, as well as those that are inspired by the circuit and build on its original features.
Used by the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Bonamassa, Kirk Hammett and John Mayer, the Tubescreamer pedal is a stone-cold classic for good reason.
