The Warm Audio Tube Squealer is a meticulously crafted overdrive pedal that faithfully recreates three iconic tube-driven circuits from the late ’70s to the late ’80s. Built with premium, 100% analogue components, this pedal offers three selectable voicings—808, TS9, and TS10—each authentically capturing the unique character of these legendary Japanese designs. Whether you seek the earliest classic overdrive tone, the widely recognised TS9 sound, or the increasingly respected TS10 circuit, the Tube Squealer delivers these vintage tones with stunning accuracy and musicality.

Beyond its vintage roots, the Tube Squealer introduces modern features that make it incredibly versatile and rig-ready. A mix knob allows you to blend clean and overdriven signals for precise tonal control, while a pickup-voicing selector optimises the response for either single-coil or humbucker pickups. An external voltage booster enhances headroom, providing more dynamic range before the saturation kicks in, making this pedal suitable for a wide variety of playing styles and setups.

Inside, the Tube Squealer is equipped with JRC4558 op-amps, discrete transistors and diodes, and premium JFETs, all carefully chosen to preserve the authentic character and response of the original circuits. Its asymmetrical clipping topology stays true to the first-of-its-kind design, delivering smooth, musical overdrive that has powered countless classic recordings and live performances. Whether you’re chasing vintage tone or looking for a versatile overdrive to complement your rig, the Warm Audio Tube Squealer is a high-value pedal that deserves a permanent place on your pedalboard.

Three Selectable Vintage Voicings

Choose between the 808, TS9, and TS10 circuits to authentically capture the distinct overdrive tones that defined guitar sounds from the late ’70s through the late ’80s. Each voicing offers its own unique flavour, from the warm, early overdrive of the 808 to the punchy, widely loved TS9 and the nuanced, dynamic TS10.

Mix Knob for Precise Tone Shaping

The mix control lets you blend your clean and overdriven signals, giving you the ability to dial in just the right amount of grit and clarity. This feature provides exceptional flexibility, allowing the pedal to sit perfectly in any mix or rig.

Pickup-Voicing Selector

Optimise the pedal’s response for your guitar’s pickups with a dedicated selector for single-coils or humbuckers. This ensures the Tube Squealer complements your instrument and preserves its natural character while adding rich overdrive.

External Voltage Booster for Increased Headroom

Engage the external voltage booster to instantly increase the pedal’s headroom, delivering more dynamic range and clarity before the overdrive saturates. This feature is ideal for players seeking more expressive and touch-sensitive tones.
