Pedal Library Notes:

This was one of those pedals I sold and immediately regretted the very next gig because I missed how well it worked in a band situation. At the time I was using it as a solo boost with hum buckers but have since come to love it as a straight up drive pedal. More versatile than a regular Tube Screamer and more gain (if you want).

With a carefully tuned, added midrange frequency register, the Tubedreamer delivers warm and rich overdriven sound through any amp.

A pivotal difference between the Tubedreamer and other Tubescreamers is the choice to go with 3 diodes for asymmetrical clipping instead of symmetrical, enhancing the responsiveness of the pedal to fretting and picking nuances.

The Tubedreamer employs the legendary JRC4558D chip to deliver its classic sound, just like in the original, sought-after 808's, and also introduces a wider gain range accessible by the high-gain-stage toggle-switch.
