Greenbox 10

The Ibanez TS-10 Tube Screamer is an overdrive pedal introduced in the late 1980s, known for its smooth, mid-boosted overdrive and dynamic response. It features Drive, Tone, and Level controls, and is distinguished by its slightly brighter and more transparent sound compared to earlier Tube Screamer models. The TS-10 gained popularity for its use by artists like John Mayer and is valued for its ability to push tube amps into natural-sounding breakup while retaining note clarity.
