The Cusack Music Tap-A-Scream is a tempo-synchronized Tube Screamer-style overdrive from the US boutique manufacturer Cusack Music, featuring tap tempo control that synchronizes the overdrive behavior or modulation characteristics to the song tempo. Combines the classic TS-style mid-forward overdrive character with temporal synchronization for rhythmically interactive overdrive effects. An innovative approach to the Tube Screamer format. Made in the USA by Cusack Music.
The DigiTech Badder Monkey Tube Overdrive is an enhanced version of the DigiTech Bad Monkey, one of the most popular budget TS-style tube overdrive pedals, with improved components and circuit refinements for a more polished overdrive performance. The Bad Monkey was widely praised for providing Tube Screamer-style warm overdrive at a fraction of the boutique cost. The Badder Monkey extends this concept with further refinements. Made by DigiTech.
