Description
here at Just Pedals we love this Ibanez TS9B Bass Tube Screamer Pedal.
For decades guitarists have seen the Ibanez Tube Screamer as the go to overdrive pedal. But now it’s not just guitarists that can benefit from this awesome overdrive pedal. The TS9B is a Tube Screamer that is designed from the ground up to offer the same style of clipping grit but optimised for bass guitar. Keep the gain low for vintage edge ‘leave it on all the time’ sound or cracking the gain up for some rawkus bass distortion, but just like the guitar version you will never lose your clarity and punch. Come bassists it’s time to beat the guitarists at their own game!
Here’s what Ibanez say about the TS9B Tube Screamer for Bass
The TS9B is equipped with controls to allow bassists to produce the sound they want while still maintaining the feel of the Tubescreamer. Experimenting with the mix and tone controls allows for creation of a limitless number of sounds. Players can get a tight, fuzzy sound with mix control or a mid-scooped, funky sound with 2-band control.

Bass
In the realm of guitar effects, “bass” pedals are designed specifically for bass guitars, enhancing their low-end frequencies and allowing bassists to shape their tone and explore new sonic possibilities. These pedals cater to the unique characteristics of the bass guitar and provide various effects to modify its sound. For instance, overdrive and distortion pedals add gain and saturation, giving the bass a gritty or distorted tone. Compression pedals help even out dynamics by smoothing out the volume of loud and soft notes, resulting in a consistent and punchy sound. EQ pedals enable bassists to sculpt their tone by boosting or cutting specific frequencies, allowing them to emphasize certain parts of the sound or compensate for room acoustics.
Other popular bass effects include envelope filters, which produce dynamic filter sweeps in response to playing dynamics, adding rhythmic groove to bass lines. Octave pedals generate harmonies one or two octaves below the original note, creating a fuller and more powerful sound. Modulation effects like chorus, flanger, and phaser add depth and movement by modulating the pitch or phase, creating swirling textures and enhancing the overall presence of the bass line. Lastly, delay and reverb pedals introduce ambience and spatial depth, adding echoes and reflections that enhance the sense of space in music. These diverse effects allow bassists to expand their sonic palette and express their creativity in numerous ways.

Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
Screamer
A Screamer pedal, often referred to as a Tube Screamer, is a type of overdrive pedal known for its ability to add warmth, mid-range boost, and a smooth, bluesy distortion. The most iconic of these is the Ibanez Tube Screamer, which has become a staple for guitarists seeking that classic overdrive sound. The “screamer” effect is typically characterised by its ability to push an amp into natural distortion while maintaining clarity and articulation, making it a favourite for everything from rock and blues to metal.
Screamer pedals generally offer mild to medium overdrive with a prominent mid-range emphasis that cuts through a mix. This makes them popular for solos or when a musician wants to boost their tone without overwhelming the natural sound of their instrument. Various versions, like the Maxon OD-808 and JHS Bonsai, have expanded on the original design, offering more tonal flexibility and options for modern players while still keeping the core “screamer” character intact.
Tube
A tube pedal incorporates vacuum tube (valve) technology to deliver the warm, dynamic, and harmonically rich tone that many guitarists associate with classic valve amplifiers. Unlike solid-state or digital effects, tube-driven pedals provide natural compression, smooth breakup, and responsive touch sensitivity, making them a popular choice for overdrive, distortion, and preamp pedals.
Brands like Effectrode, Electro-Harmonix, and Victory produce high-quality tube pedals that enhance a player’s sound with real valve character. Whether used as a boost, preamp, or full-fledged overdrive, tube pedals add an organic warmth and depth that digital emulations often struggle to replicate, making them a prized addition to any serious guitarist’s rig.
