Why is the tube screamer so good?
One of the other key reasons the Ibanez Tube Screamer is so popular with blues guitarists, is because of its ‘dynamic response’.

Does Keith Richards use guitar pedals?
So, at this point, we have talked about his Fender amps and a few of his guitars…let’s talk about his pedals. Keith doesn’t use a lot of them so we’ll just be covering 3 of them. The most famous of the batch is Keith’s Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone pedal.
What effect pedals does Keith Richards use?

Is true bypass important?
The benefit of true-bypass circuitry is that by sending a signal straight to the amp, the signal completely clears the circuitry that creates the effect (thus the name “true bypass”). The signal remains fully “intact”; passing through the effects pedal with no unwanted tonal coloration, or loss of strength/frequencies.
What is a true bypass?
With a true bypass pedal, when the pedal is in bypass mode (off), the guitar signal is routed directly to the guitar amplifier without any of the interference, loading, or buffering effects that are often caused by the pedals that are in-between. This is most audible when playing with high gain or distorted amp tones.
Is there an alternative to the Ibanez Tube Screamer?
After introducing the Xotic BB Preamp as a possible alternative to the ubiquitous Ibanez Tube Screamer, I will now leave the expansive boutique route and go for a cheaper model: the BOSS SD-1. As with my previous post, I have made a video to illustrate my point (see the end of this post).
Is the Boss SD-1 the same as a Tube Screamer?
There are very good models in the BOSS line and the SD-1, which has been in production for 29 years (!), is surely one of them. The SD-1 is quite close in conception to a Tube Screamer and not so far tone-wise. It also sports the same three knobs: Drive (amount of overdrive), Level (output Volume) and Tone (Equalization).

What’s the best alternative to a Tube Screamer?
Tube Screamer Alternative: The BOSS SD-1. A good overdrive pedal is a must have for nearly every guitarist. You can use it against a clean amp to obtain blues and classic rock tones, or you can use it to push an already overdriven amp or distortion pedal to reach for higher gain tones.
