Vintage 1982 Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer Overdrive Guitar Effect Pedal

 This 1982 Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer (Silver Label) is a highly coveted piece of vintage overdrive history. Produced in Japan by Maxon during the original launch era of the legendary 9-Series. Identified by its desirable silver serial label on the bottom plate, this early-production TS9 features the authentic period-correct Toshiba TA75558P dual operational amplifier IC. While often debated alongside its JRC4558D sibling, the original 1982 Toshiba-equipped circuit is highly desired for its exceptionally smooth overdrive response, focused mid-range bump, and warm, musical compression that plays well with cranked tube amplifiers.

Housed in the classic gloss-green die-cast enclosure, the TS9’s familiar three-knob layout, Drive, Tone, and Level. This pedal delivers the unmistakable drive tones that helped define decades of blues, rock, and fusion. Sweeping the Drive control gives you a range from transparent mid-gain push to a rich, singing overdrive, while the active Tone knob shapes high-end roll-off without sacrificing core low-end punch. Ideal as a standalone drive into a clean rig or as a high-output boost to tighten up a saturated amp's low end. This 1982 Silver Label TS9 is in good condition and ready for you!
