While perhaps not quite as indestructible as the BD-2, the Tube Screamer is nonetheless a very solidly built pedal that will survive being kicked around on stage and bashed about in the back of a van.

The large number of sought after 80s models still being sold on eBay and Reverb are a testament to how well they survive. It is solidly built, designed to survive years of gigging. Used across all genres, from blues and country to rock and metal, players of all styles use it in different ways to achieve different sounds.

It is a very simple pedal, with three knobs controlling the level, gain and tone.
Used across genres it can do everything from delivering a subtle crunch to clean tones to high-gain saturated lead tones.
