Screamer trivia

Here's the answer to the TS trivia posted previously (this one: CLICK)- the TS5 is one of the manifestations that read 'Tubescreamer' instead of 'Tube Screamer' like the TS9. It's petty but it's history.

The morning tank

I had an old friend out for some tone works this morning. In fact, I just stopped playing. This is a budget pedal from Ibanez's Sound Tank series, so if you think the Tone Lok series were affordable, then you know there's something even more affordable. It's not in mint condition as evident here but it still works. The input/output access should be cleaned soon; the loss of signals were annoying. The LEVEL knob had seen better days as well, could use a replacement or some rectifications- would attend to this soon. The TS5 has a good Tubescreamer voicing but it lacks the cream of the TS808 which is in a different league considering the prices.

TRIVIA: The TS5 is a 'significant' member in Ibanez's TS history; do you know why? Answer in next installment :-)
