Ibanez TS Mini Tube Screamer

Ibanez · pedal

The Ibanez TS Mini packs the Tube Screamer TS9 circuit into a reduced mini-pedal enclosure, keeping the same warm, mid-forward overdrive with smooth, natural compression and the TS9's signature midrange hump that pushes a guitar forward in a mix without harshness. Overdrive, Tone, and Level controls behave identically to the full-size TS9, from a light, singing clean boost at low Overdrive settings to a thick, saturated, blues-rock crunch at higher settings, with sustain that stays smooth rather than fizzy. The green LED-lit enclosure and mid-boosted voicing are instantly recognizable as classic Tube Screamer character. It's practical for players who want authentic, well-established TS9 tone without the standard-size footprint, suiting compact pedalboards and travel rigs where space is at a premium.
