Boutique Pedal for Stock Price

I own a TS-808 boutique clone that I paid over $200 for and I can say that this pedal comes pretty damn close to it. If I were to compare the sound I'd say is somewhere between a TS-808 and a TS-9 leaning toward the TS-808.

It's got a warmer sound compared to a TS-9. It's also seem to have a bit more balls than the TS-9. My boutique TS-808 has a little more edge and scorch but I'd gladly use the Green Screamer as a backup if I needed to.

So all that, I'd highly recommend this pedal if you're looking for a warm overdrive without the harshness of a TS-9.

I own a stupidly large collection of distortion, overdrive and fuzz pedals. The prices range from cheap to "...I can't believe I paid that much for this.". So I know pedals. I bought the Green Screamer about three weeks ago and it almost immediately became a permanent member of my pedal board. The Screamer has a really smooth sound with good control over the level of overdrive. It will drive tubes well but also sound great through solid state amps (I practice through an older Fender Princeton Chorus). This pedal sounds really nice when a Sovtek Big Muff is run in front of it for solo boost. Gives nice, gritty Cream/Floyd tones.

If you play any variation of classic to hard rock, I think you would like this pedal. If you play anything harder than, say, Nickleback, try the EH Metal Muff (the big one) instead.

I love distortion and overdrive pedals and I only state that to say that I know a good one when I hear it/play it. BBE pedals are built amazingly, only second to Boss as far as build spec. quality. The Green Screamer is an excellent pedal and kinda trumps a tube screamer in one specific way. This pedal falls neatly between a traditional tube screamer and a very light but definitive distrotion pedal. I use it in conjuction with a little big muff and a jekyll&hyde pedal also. This is a great pedal and is built to last for a long time. It has the tubescreamer sound with a little more bass and the possibility to give some great sustain and thus good distortion.

Just as good as the Tubescreamer

The BBE Green Screamer is a great overdrive pedal. It's built tough and sounds great. Compared to the Tubescreamer it seems to have more of a low-end tone, so I use it to get a completely different sound from what I get with the Tubescreamer. It's not better, it just has a slightly different tone. I highly recommend this pedal. It sounds great by itself through a nice tube amp, and works well as a gain boost.
