Warm Audio - Tube Squealer - 3-Mode, Soft-Clipping, Tube Amp-Driving Overdrive Pedal - WA-TS
Faithful Recreation Of 3 Screaming Overdrives with Added Rig-Ready Features
The Most Played Overdrive of All Time:
- The Tube Squealer faithfully recreates not 1, not 2, but 3 of the most famous flavors of the most played overdrive pedal of all time. While there are seemingly countless revisions and tributes, the venerable original 808, TS9, and TS10 versions of the circuit have famously been used by iconic guitar players like Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, Slash, John Frusciante and many more. Like all 3 original pedals, Tube Squealer delivers that classic amp-driving tone with all the nuance of the different circuits to support all types of playing - from edge of breakup blues, to searing metal solo boosts.
3 Legendary Circuits, All the Classic Mods:
- Tube Squealer has 3 distinct signal paths for the 808, TS9, and TS10 settings. Switching to any setting delivers the authentic version of that circuit, not a simple re-voicing. The 808 delivers the earliest version of the circuit with breakup and grit. The TS9 delivers that added drive and compressed tone that dominated the 80s and beyond. TS10 revives a previously underrated circuit known for buttery smooth tones that add that famed "sparkle" to any rig. Tube Squealer adds previously celebrated mods as permanent features with the mix knob allowing for clean signal blending, and the pickup voicing switch, which changes the midrange emphasis to better suit humbuckers and lower-midrange heavy pickups.
Applications:
- 808 Breakup | Pure Texas Blues: The standard-bearer for edge-of-breakup blues tones with single coils through clean amps
- TS9 Grit | Riff & Solo Magic: Edgy riffs and biting solos with aggression, compression and grit
- TS10 Silk | Smooth Operator: Blooms and compresses even at lower gain settings, forgiving and buttery smooth
Components:
3 Legendary Circuits Powered by Op-Amps
- The WA-TS has 3 distinct circuit paths for the 808, TS9, and TS10 settings. All 3 modes share the same tone stage using the JRC4558. TS9 setting has its own drive stage using the JRC4580. While the 808 and TS10 share the same drive stage, TS10 has an extra resistor added just like the original design.
Beloved "Mods" at Your Fingertips
- Boutique builders have modded this circuit style for decades. Tube Squealer adds 3 mods plus distinct paths for a boutique feel anywhere. The mix knob blends clean and clipping signals for precise harmonics and distortion. The pickup voicing switch shifts mids from 800 Hz (original, single-coil) to 2 k (humbucker) for better pairing with low-mid heavy pickups. The external voltage doubler reshapes the WA-TS gain, adding headroom and making it act more like a boost.
Premium Components For Clipping & Power
- WA-TS uses premium clipping diodes to provide musical distortion across all 3 pedal circuits. The dual switch cap voltage doubler allows the WA-TS to deliver even higher headroom (using 9-V power) without having to have the pedal modified or risk using unstable power.
Hand-Tested, Elite Build Quality
- Every single WA-TS overdrive is meticulously hand-inspected and tested at Warm HQ in Austin, TX by real musicians and engineers with a passion for superior sound.
