Brand
Ibanez is Hoshino Gakki’s guitar and bass brand, with a substantial effects, tuner and accessory range alongside its instruments. The green Tube Screamer is its best-known pedal family: the TS808, TS9 and Tube Screamer Mini offer different sizes and versions of the familiar overdrive design. JustPedals listings also include the WH10V3 wah and BIG MINI tuner. Ibanez effects sit within a much broader guitar catalogue, which makes the brand relevant both to individual pedals and to complete instrument rigs. Manufacturing varies by product and model, so the Ibanez name alone is not a country-of-origin label.

A phaser splits the signal and shifts the phase of one path through a series of all-pass filter stages. When recombined, moving peaks and notches sweep across the spectrum, creating a rounded swirl rather than the evenly spaced comb filtering of a flanger. Stage count, feedback, centre frequency, rate and depth shape the width, resonance and pulse of the sweep.

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.
Uses a reduced-width enclosure to conserve pedalboard space. The smaller format can limit battery access, footswitch spacing and the number or size of controls, while side-mounted sockets and power placement determine how much space is actually saved once connected.
Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
