Theres a reason its never been succeeded or replaced… Secrets of the Tube Screamer The Tube Screamers clever design is the reason its still the industry-standard overdrive pedal. Widely imitated but never accurately replicated there are a few unique features that give the TS808 its unique sound signature. One of these is that the active high pass filter in the clipping stage rolls off the bass so that only frequencies above 720Hz get the full distortion and harmonics below get progressively less making the distortion frequency selective. After the clipping stage a passive low pass filter shaves off excess treble giving the characteristic mid boost that Tube Screamers are known for. The clipped output signal then also contains part of the input signal perfectly preserving the original dynamics of the instrument while also improving the responsiveness and overall clarity of the distortion. This is all made possible by the input buffer isolating the effect from the guitar retaining optimum signal fidelity one of the main reasons the TS808 can offer mid-heavy overdrive without the effect becoming muddy. This is what makes a Tube Screamer a Tube Screamer- optimum signal filtering and frequency selective distortion.
