IBANEZ TUBE SCREAMER
Not only is the Ibanez Tube Screamer the most famous overdrive ever produced, it’s also probably where we get the name ‘overdrive’ from, as the original TS-808 model labelled the gain control on the pedal ‘overdrive’. Its origins are interesting – although now Maxon is a company you can buy readily in a guitar shop, back then they were an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for other brands, in this case Ibanez.
