Tru-Fi Scream to Eternity

Tru Fi · pedal

The Tru-Fi Scream to Eternity is a Tube Screamer-style overdrive pedal built around TS808 circuit heritage, offered in Tru-Fi compact modern enclosure. Its Mode switch selects between Scream and Eternity voicings, with Eternity running as an open, buffer-less circuit for a more transparent feel. A Gain switch chooses between a Brown circuit with roughly 30 percent more gain and the classic 808 voicing, while Level and Tone controls shape output and brightness, and a separate Clipping switch toggles between the original diode clipping and an asymmetrical option for a different breakup character. Together these switches let the pedal move between the familiar mid-hump, tube-amp-pushing overdrive that Tube Screamer circuits are known for and a more open, less colored drive voicing, without changing pedals.
