    Kudos to Lee for be honest, even if it means to have less orders and maybe even a manufacturer not so happy by the review... but in a long run, this is this kind of honesty that will pay off and make people order from Anderson's when they will need something!

      There were a few moments where I felt that the NuTube version had a tiny bit more dynamic range on the high end but not enough to justify the price. On the other hand, it's going to take a certain amount of sales to bring down the price.

      Yeah, every single time I hear someone say "the TS10 is the best" because they are a John Mayer fan, I have to bite my lip not to school them on the obvious: The TS808 and TS9 have been repaired and cloned more times than anyone can count so that doesn't say much for the TS10. You can spend $500 if you really want, but a Maxon OD-9 would be much cheaper and better than any of them.

    I just got my first ever tube screamer a couple of weeks ago. It's a homemade clone of a TS9 that I swapped a 30 pound Behringer delay for, and it sounds amazing. Wonder how I ever lived without it, but I find it hard to imagine someone spending 200 quid on what's basically the same thing. I think maybe the whole pedal thing is beginning to get out of hand.

    @TripleXbeatz 6 лет назад

    Correction.. at 7:40.. that mix knob doesn't alter how much signal is going through the nu-tube, but rather how much of the distorted nu-tube signal is being blended with the original unaffected clean signal. Its merely a parallel blend knob ala "wet/dry". So if its set to center detent you are hearing 50% distorted signal and 50% dry signal, and so on.

      PD51 I agree that is their objective. But why pay more for the same tone? Why create a technology that drives up prices with no real benefit to the consumer. When these become cheaper that a tube screamer I will consider it. Is anyone even trying to consider the consumers perspective or do they think we all just buy new tech without thinking?

    • @theclinger
      @theclinger 6 лет назад +3

      They can't become cheaper without the economies of scale and development of the technology, which requires actually building something and putting it on the market.
      It isn't nefarious unless they took the old pedals off the market right after producing the new one, without improving the price to performance ratio.

    • @paulj0557tonehead
      @paulj0557tonehead 4 года назад

      I love this channel, but they did a really crappy amp setup. Straight off they decided to plug into an *_already "screaming"_* tube amp they deemed as a base sound. No, a base amp sound is 'clean+ pick dynamics makes dirty'. * They instead were coming from the secondary use of the TS to tighten up a straight up distorted rhythm and lead tone.
      It's rare Sweetwater outdoes Anderton's, but they clearly did on this one. Just look for the Sweetwater review.

      @DeadHandBlues 6 лет назад +13

      Check out the wampler pedals channel. He compares the TS9 to TS808 etc basically it all comes down to pots having different values. So that "brighter" or "more gain" from one is simply because the pots are different values so 12 oclock on one might be the same as 11 oclock on the other. Also, how ibanez thought putting a nutube into a pedal before going into 4 preamp tubes and it making any difference is beyond me.

    • @DeadHandBlues

  • @andrufraroco
    @andrufraroco 6 лет назад +2

    to make this pedal justice, I think it would be nice to put this pedal through a cleaner amp where integrating a valve could be appreciated regarding dynamics in respect to the other diode clipping pedals. In an already driven valve amp the differences of course are going to be more subtle. Maybe even test them in a solid state clean amp so we can see if we feel the valve dynamics are there.

    @PungkiAhimsa 6 лет назад +7

    I like the Nutube version! The "more" vibe in the new Nutube version kinda reminds me of OCD, I think they have the same-ish sustain saturation. I notice that in certain settings the new one also has more similar harmonic content between the attack & the sustain. It makes the attack sound thicker and more aggressive. I wonder if that's because of the tube dynamic characteristic that adds harmonic to louder sound like the attack. It's not necessarily better though if you want a classic sounding TS. I think I like the new one because I'm basically not a TS person. Will I buy the new one? No, I'm poor :))

    Guys, the new knob on the NuTube Tubescreamer allows you to choose how much of the gain is coming from the tube or from the solid state circuit. You can have all the clipping coming from the NuTube, or turn it the other way and it behaves like a traditional 808.

    It’s not a fair test when you connect three Tube screamers together. To do it the right way you should’ve did each pedal separately other wise some of the pedal’s will have a weaker signal. Even in my pedal chain the tube screamer sounds different where you place it and the best place is always in front of every pedal into the amp

    Still got my TS9 from the early 80s. It has always been a joy. I think it cost me a fiver, second hand. The reason I got it was because I saw Chris Rea use one and his Strat sounded great. Soon afterwards, I sold my Les Paul and got an old Tele and the TS was just the right pedal for some cleanish drive/sustain/guts (combined with my MSX microamp). Love it!!! BTW, I used it with a Marshall 50W master vol combo.

    "Talk yourselves out of a sale" is spot on. I now know why my Maxon TS is nearly a neutral tool on the pedal board. At least to my ear the video shows no real difference and I can get some nasty tone and boost from any of the other pedals on my board. This was a great video!

    I love Andertons videos, but they really missed the point of what all this pedal does. If you want to watch a more helpful review I'd suggest the Sweetwater one. But when you use a pedal with expanded versatility the same way you used the old one, of course your going to get the same results. Hopefully Rob and Lee see this and do some more research into a pedal they wrote off without giving a fair chance.

    I think the benefit of the nutube one is the mix knob. The ability to control how much of your clean signal is mixed with the tube screamer is a really cool feature. I don’t see why they need a mini tube for that though. I think if they just released a normal tube screamer with the mix knob I’d buy it.

    Could you guys review the new Deluxe versions of the Tube screamer please? The TS9DX and the TS808DX and the korg one? There's a load of comparison videos the TS9 and TS808 but these variants have no comparison videos at all. I would love to know the originals compare to the deluxe versions.

    I think you should try it with a solid state amp. It may act as a tube preamp, with a pushed tube sound.

    BTW, if you want to solve the "invisible" LED problem; use a nail polisher/buffer on the LED, it will diffuse the light evenly and you can see the LED better from all angles.

    I didn't use my studio monitors, but I didn't hear a great deal of difference between the pedals. Yes, I heard some subtle differences, but that's all. I don't think that that is so surprising, though -- after all, these puppies are all supposed to be TUBE SCREAMERS! If any of them sounded dramatically different, then that one would require a new name, I would think. Also, I think that Lee does deserve some props for telling it like it is. The Nutube unit is interesting, but honestly the price is prohibitive. As the guys pointed out, you can pay reasonable prices for used TS808 and TS9 units, so Ibanez has their work cut out for them in selling this product.

    Such a great pedal. One of those pedals, I think, proves the idea that less is more. I love the 808 myself, but wouldn't say no to all three, can't have to many overdrives.

    Lol! Son of a gun. Until this video I didn't realize that I wasn't the only one that couldn't tell whether or not the TS808 was on or off due to the freakin' lousy LED light. I literally taped a small piece of paper right behind it when I used one, so that I could see it better. Anyway, kudos to you, Captain, for being honest about the price of the NuTube. It's more than a bit ridiculous, even for ... Nu technology. Is it $100 better than the others? No. No it is not.

  • @DKinMN
    @DKinMN 3 года назад

    If you're listening on your phone or laptop, they do not sound different. On headphones, it's pretty distinct, in my opinion. The NuTube is a bit harsher breakup, a bit brighter with the same settings. It definitely sounds more vivid, more presence. Is it going to change your entire world? No. You could probably coax similar tones out of the other ones if you messed with Tone on the pedal or EQ on the amp. But...they're really not the same. In a mix? Probably hard to tell the difference. But, in this video, with headphones on, it was very clear that the 808 is a very classic TS sound, the 9 is a bit smoother and darker, and the NuTube has the bit of grit, presence, and air.

    The Nu Tube Tube Screamer has more gain. Which is great for high gain tones. And I’m more likely to buy the newer one than the TS9, TS808, and TS808 Mini.

  • @DougMen1
    @DougMen1 6 лет назад

    SRV used the TS808, TS9, and TS10. The TS808 costs $180 and the TS9 costs $100, even though they're virtually the same circuit and cost the same to produce. Ibanez is cashing in on the SRV connection with the 808, so they're basically ripping people off.

    I don't think I've seen an Ibanez with that headstock shape before. I've only ever owned a Destroyer, but I think the typical Ibanez headstock shape looks great for all types of guitars.

    The Ibanez TS is a modded Boss overdrive. So this video with a couple of Maxons and the Boss would be more balanced

    Wait, you can buy both the 9 and 808 and accomodating power supply gear all new for what this one pedal costs, and then you have the ability to stack them in either order or use each independently at different settings? What a deal! Thanks Ibanez!

  • @nerdsanctuary8307
    @nerdsanctuary8307 5 лет назад

    If you run the nutube version at 18v that's where I think it differentiates itself. There's a bit more gain on tap then.

  • @danbrazieruk
    @danbrazieruk 6 лет назад

    I've got a few TS/TS-alike pedals. They all sound a lot closer to each other with higher gain/level - as found here at the start. With less level, closer to line level - and with less gain, used as a crunch rather than an OD I think they sounds more distinct.

  • @calebhendrix4664

  • @lukerodgers4323
    @lukerodgers4323 5 лет назад

    I don’t know if all these comments are influenced too much by Lee’s meh review, or if some just have old or untrained ears, or more likely you’re just listening on cheap speakers/headphones, but these pedals all sound substantially different, especially in person. Seeing comments on here saying the mini sounds just as good as anything...please. The Nu tube running on 18v is the best screamer tone I’ve ever heard - which is not showcased in this video. You almost always get what you pay for with guitar gear and the NTS is no exception.

  • @gabehill9817
    @gabehill9817 6 лет назад

    Honestly I think the differences are quite apparent between the nutube and the other two but the 808 and the ts9 sound very similar. It may be either that They're in the room vs us hearing a mic'd sound or if it's youtubes compression or what but I'm hearing more gain on the nutube compared to the other two.

  • @8153max

    SRV used all of them ts808 ts9 and ts10 and a Diaz copy with more gain … that one can be heard on his last performance at at Austin city limits… this new one sounds like the Diaz version but just a little more smoother
