Ibanez Super Tube vs Tube Screamer TS10

These two pedals are similar but the STL (Super Tube) has an additional JRC4558D chip and a “bite” control. The bite acts as a presence/compression/texture control. CS strat through a Two Rock Studio Signature.

I have a Super Tube I'm very pleased with it

[@Philosophers]

Hi there, how close can the Super Tube be adjusted to sound the same as the TS10 in trying to get a 'Mayer-esque' lead tone?

Notice how in this video I actually have all the settings the same (volume, tone, drive) - but for the Bite, I turn it all the way up. Volume at 2 o’clock Tone at 5 o’clock Drive at 12

Very close - very similar architecture and chipset, it’s almost the same pedal just with a “Bite” setting - like a presence control. I think there’s also another JRC chip in it

Super tube doesn’t sound like it has the wooly mids of the ts10

[@simont4435]

What’s the difference?

[@1977raider]

Definitely not much I got a good deal on a Super Tube I'm very pleased with it.They are a little rare made in 1985 only they say

[@tone_science]

Not much at all - super tube is basically identical but with one extra knob.

The Super Tube has 2 jrc4558d chips
