Tube Screamer · individual module
Sound and starting point
A configurable Tube Screamer clipping stage. Diode model and count change breakup; add TS-Tone for separate tone shaping.
Tube Screamer · Diodes
Selects the clipping diode model, changing breakup and dynamics. Match output level before comparing choices. Choices: GZ34, 1N34, 1N4148.
Tube Screamer · Gain
Increases signal into this stage. In drive modules this also increases distortion; in a clean gain stage it chiefly changes level.
Tube Screamer · # Diodes
Changes the clipping diode count and therefore the clipping threshold/response. Adjust Gain again after changing it.
