Why we recommend it
The Tube Screamer TS9 is the green pedal you see on almost every blues and rock pedalboard. Its overdrive is smooth and mid-focused — not harsh like a distortion — which makes it perfect for warming up an already-slightly-saturated amp or pushing a clean channel into crunch. Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, and half the jam guitarists use one. Practical tip: set Drive around noon, Tone at 2 o'clock, Level slightly above unity gain, and let the amp do the heavy lifting. It's a simple pedal, three knobs, zero menus — exactly what you need when you want to sound good without spending the night tweaking.
At the 132
At the 132, Thursday jam nights draw guitarists who show up with an amp and two or three pedals. The Tube Screamer comes up often in conversations over beer — it's the quintessential 'warm bar' tone. If you want to prepare for getting on stage one of those nights, it's probably the first pedal to add to your setup.
