Warm audio WA-TS Tube Squealer

The Tube Squealer faithfully recreates not one, not two, but three of the most famous flavors of the most played overdrive pedal of all time. While there are seemingly countless revisions and tributes, the venerable original 808, TS9, and TS10 versions of the circuit have famously been used by iconic guitar players like Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, Slash, John Frusciante and many more. Like all three original pedals, Tube Squealer delivers that classic amp-driving tone with all the nuance of the different circuits to support all types of playing - from edge of breakup blues, to searing metal solo boosts.

Tube Squealer has three distinct signal paths for the 808, TS9, and TS10 settings. Switching to any setting delivers the authentic version of that circuit, not a simple re-voicing. The 808 delivers the earliest version of the circuit with breakup and grit. The TS9 delivers that added drive and compressed tone that dominated the 80s and beyond. TS10 revives a previously underrated circuit known for buttery smooth tones that add that famed ‘sparkle’ to any rig. Tube Squealer adds previously celebrated mods as permanent features with the mix knob allowing for clean signal blending, and the pickup voicing switch, which changes the midrange emphasis to better suit humbuckers and lower-midrange heavy pickups.
