ibanez ts7 cheap tubescreamer

just got a ts7 cheapo tubescreamer for my cube 30´s clean-channel. i can not be more impressed. that thing sounds very nice, rich, with the right overtones. great for slide. adjustable very good. cleans up nice when volume is rolled back on the guitar.no complains.

Should be, its the same circuit as a ts9 ri but in the cheaper case.

I bought a used one on a whim a few years ago for $20. Like you siad, I was very impressed. I did not care for the 'hot' side of things, but for low gain, edgy blues tones, it was a real surprise. With the gain set fairly low and running it into my Winfiled 'Elizabeth', I was able to cop some nice Ford/Carlton type tones. I actually prefered the TS-7 ( with my gear ) to a couple of TS-9's I received on trade.

I let it go, but may pick up another if I can find a similar deal! Glad to hear it's working out for ya!
