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 Maxon DS-II Reissue is a reissue of Maxon's vintage DS-II distortion pedal, one of the classic Japanese distortion circuits from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Maxon is the Japanese manufacturer that originally produced the Ibanez Tube Screamer circuit, and their own original designs reflect Japanese construction quality and careful circuit engineering. The DS-II reissue makes this vintage circuit available to contemporary players.
