Ibanez tube screamer

What preset is closest to the sound of an Ibanez Tube Screamer?

Thanks

  • which pedal do you have? the GNX3000 has a Tube screamer model in its stombox section = there is a pure Tube screamer preset in the factory presets that you can put in front of your amp.

    I have the gnx4.
  • The GNX4 has a tube screamer stompbox sim in it. i think its called \"SCREAMER\".

    Ok, got it. Is there any way to use the stompbox features in a bypass mode or do I have to create a preset? I want something that primarily my own amp with the Screamer in the chain. Help?
  • think you'd need top do it the way the 3000 is setup - ie create a preset with no amp or cab and just assign the stomboxe and /or modulation effects you want to the pedals.

    Ok, that's what I figured. I guess I can handle that. I went and bought a TS808 Tube Screamer this afternoon. If I can create the same or similar sound with the gnx, I've got 30 days to bring it back to Guitar Center.
  • cool, j.m.22. Post your results on that comparison, ive been curious how close that model is to the actual stompbox. Never had the chance to compare them though I use it constantly.

    Seems ive gotten to the point where i keep going back to a combination of the screamer stomp, the clean tube head, and 4x10 cab. Love it, looking for an amp with a similar sound.

    Will let you know.
    Pretty cool that Guitar Center's return policy provides a free opportunity to see what works and what doesn't.
  • I love the Screamer thats built into the GNX4..
  • i have a ts i bought back in 98 or so. the gnx patch sounds close enough that i can't tell them apart.

    my fave stompbox would have to be the muff pi and the sparkle drive. ips -12 + muff = the sound of god farting. uber bass patch from hell.

    I set up a model that's all direct and then added in the Screamer stompbox. I don't have a ts to compare it, too, but it is different than the 808. The 808 is a fuller sound with less edge and bite. I like them both.
  • you may try a cab sim to fill it in abit.......*shrug*
  • Even when you go \"direct\" through the 3000, I think it still samples the Guitar signal so you still may need to make Amp adjustments between the 2 setups you do...
